After searching the internet i came across the freindship cake recipe . this brought back lovely memories of 20 years ago when i made it regular .But back then i was given the starter mix .
Now ive had to start from the begining so could someone tell me from what day i start after making the mix and leaving it for the first 2 days ....will it be DAY 3?? as the recipe states that IF THE MIXTURE HAS BEEN GIVEN TO YOU start on day 1
I HOPE THIS MAKES SENSE THANKYOUFOR READING

Re: RE FRIENDSHIP CAKE

Hopefully this thread might help you as there was a discussion about it a few months ago.

Re: RE FRIENDSHIP CAKE
I was just given a freindship cake mix yesterday, its a yeast one so am hoping it will turn out like a panetone type, if anyone would like a portion of the mixture you are welcome and I can send some, just let me know
