It's my daughter's 25th this year and she wants me to do something special for her. But it has to transport and still look good. What do the rest of you do in this situation?

Hi
Is she after a dessert or a main?
We have a Xmas in July this weekend and I am doing crispy pork belly with caramel vinegar. I chose this as I can cook it the night before, carve it in the morning (as it is easier to do when cold) add the sauce to it at my sisters and re-heat. The sauce will keep it nice and moist.
If I make a dessert I usually do something that improves with age or something that you can pre-make and assemble later. That way the presentation does not get compromised. It may mean that you have lots of containers to remember to take home though.

What do you mean it still has to transport?

something like a cake? hahah..i ain't really sure about this.

What's not to understand? She wants to cook it in one place and transport it to another and have it still looking the same when it gets there.

Precisely, Jeff.
Well turns out it was her husband's Police Graduation the day prior to her birthday so she didn't party up this year. I made her a hazelnut caramel flan with a chocolate ganache topping. when it's refrigerated it goes quite firm and I left it in the tin and it transported nicely. The flan is Very Rich and looks suitably special.

Have you ever tried to cook the cake with honey. You should make the sweet special dough and separate on the little pieces and then you should kindle the honey. The next step is to fry the little pieces of dough in oil and after that you should mix the fried pieces with kindled honey and press all the mass. This pressed mass you should keep in the refrigerator during 5 hours. The taste is wonderful. Be assured. And the main feature is that the shape will remain the same after the long transportation.

Sounds like an episode of Star Trek got mangled in a computer language translation program!!?
I suspect that cheap shoes and a free handbag might be involved!

Jeff, where can I buy a honey kindler? Would accoutrement stock them do you suppose?
Each time I go to Woolies I get a free handbag. It's even waterproof and when I am finished with it, it makes a great bin liner!

Unclefay, I was asking myself the same question, obviously it's something that we really need to have. I'm sure that my life will never mean anything until I have kindled my honey in transportable lumps of squeezy dough.
