A friend flew to the US yesterday and I asked her to bring me back a couple of trinkets from Williams Sonoma  ;) ;D

Thanks Frozzie, have ordered 2 drink bottles from that site.   
Looked at dariole moulds and got confused with the different sizes and shapes - not sure which ones I want so may have to actually see them in a shop first, compare prices then order.  I want them for steaming custard or making a vegetable timbale of some description. They are all reasonably small so I am presuming any dariole mould will fit into the varoma dish?

Judy I use the Nestle plastic dariole moulds (150ml capacity) and purchased in the box (both W'worths and Big W had them when I purchased. However if you want the same size in stainless steel, I ordered some for use at school from Everten online, the moulds were the cheapest at $2.95..  Made this choice as the plastic moulds must be thoroughly cleaned and dried before being stacked back tog (obviously), unfortunately students have a habit of being really slack, hence the stainless steel choice.  I have used Everten many times over the past 5-6 yrs with great service and prompt delivery, but for me that has been the case with all online purchases, I wish face to face service. Hope this helps!  :)  :)

Thanks girls, I have ordered the Nestle molds and heart shaped cutters from chef.com.au where JulieO got hers.  The plastic ones will do for what I want Robyn as they will only be used on the odd occasion.  If I was starting out as a youngster, I would have bought the metal ones  ;)

 ;D.....well I would hate to disappoint you Hally!

Nothing extraordinary though......

1 kg flaked almonds & maraschino cherries.....was looking for donut jam (at food wholesalers), but couldn't find any.
I did see the nestle plastic dariole moulds.....$20.00 for 50.
I really didn't need that many, so I left them there  :P

Will be interesting to see how it works  ;)

i bought some (6  :P) individual meat pie tins finally that julieO mentioned in another link as they are the only site I could find that would send out of oz and you cant get them here (similar but not the same) and as the postage was high i also added a rectangular tart/quiche tin and a cooling rack (postage was 40AUD for one or several items (that was their min intl postage cost  :() but I had to stop adding as the total was going way up lol) :)

I have no idea what bakers secret products are like so will be able to see...i imagine they are the aussie version of Tefal or similar..
