should I tell you that I had  a bit of a Doohhh   moment ... an embarrassing oooppps moment... and give you all a bit of a laugh...or not... oohh alright then I will... I went for a coffee and slice of cake with some friends, to a new cafe,  that has opened that serves coffee /teas & cakes .... Now ... I've heard of infusion teas...  and coffees and even oils... but I've never heard of cake infusers... until this week... we went up to the counter... where all the lovely cakes were displyed,  and I chose a muffin...quite plain really as I've  not got a very sweet tooth... when it arrived at the table ... some whipped  cream had been added on top and ... what I thought were two chocolate covered finger biscuits... so I pulled one of the biscuits out of the cake and tried to eat it...  but it tasted a bit plasticky... and wondered to myself... what on earth is this...... lol.. anyway...  I tried to break it in half to dunk   it .. at which point...  caramel sauce squirted out, and ran all over my fingers and hand, and all down my wrist too... lol much to the amusement of my friends ... who began laughing even more when I told them what had happened ..  as they had heard,  of cake infusers... but I quickly licked the sauce off my hands...  I  wouldn't want all that caramel sauce going to waste lol... mean while my friends were passing me serviettes... have you heard of them ..?  well for those of you who haven't... the little pipettes of flavouring..  (which I mistook for chocolate finger biscuits) ... in this case caramel... are placed in the cup cake... and then you squeeze the pipette to add the flavouring,  and you can move the pipette around the cake,  to infuse different areas of the cake... see the post photo... I think its a great idea... you can buy them online, pre filled or empty...,so you fill them yourself, with your own flavouring...
