O.K Sorry about the Sao biscuits for those not Australian reading this...here is the link to Sao's I dont know what the alternative would be elsewhere...but basically its a cracker you would put cheese ot tomato on. Its square which makes it perfect for this recipe. We used to be able to buy a biscuit called Lattice, which had a sticky sweet top and this was used, but I dont think they are available here anymore, and the sao for me is much better. Hope that helps.

Ok..what do you do when you ask your hubby to buy a packet of vanilla pudding, and he comes home with vanilla CAKE mix??? Why make cupcakes of course!!....Now you may be wondering why I wanted the pudding? Well I also asked for a packet of Sao biscuits and got YOYO's!! LOL so it was off to the supermarket to purchase the products to make this......
VANILLA SLICE
Ingredients:

The basket is made by crocheting lengths of fabric, I have never done this before and apart from my fingers hurting, it was good fun! Bathroom mat???? NO I don't think so ;)

Origami! How wonderful, I found a u-tube of how to make a box using this ancient technique. I just had to try one straight away and this is the result...next one should be better, and choosing the right paper is so important. Not to thick not to thin. But you get the idea.

2" pincushion cube... Loved making this, English paper pieced,
