[quote user="sweet 17"]Freshly made scones plus butter plus blueberry jam (from Ikea) plus whipped cream plus mug of tea plus sunshine and warmth. [/quote] Mmmm, cream tea in the sunshine. Bliss.

Whipping cream is alchemy... sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. The cream/bowl/whisk have to be very cold, I've even put them in the freezer for 20mins part way through whipping and that has helped. When all else fails, I use a sachet of Fixe Chantilly powder to finish the job. Find it on the cake decorations display in the supermarket.

[quote user="suein56"][quote user="splishsplash"] Does this whip up really thick for use on a trifle etc? [/quote] For a trifle topping I use crème fleurette entière from Normandy which whips up beautifully. Sorry cannot remember the trade-name though I think it begins with E. Sue [/quote] This one?
