Here's another treat I baked for Father's Day! This one went to my boyfriend's dad.

Do you press the entire length of the hot skewer into the sugar, or just drag the tip across? Because this is genius, and I need to know how to do it!

[cakecrumbs]

Apologies for the belated reply! You can do either, but I found it easier to heat the top and drag it. I heated only as much of the skewer as fit over my hot plate. It takes a lot to heat it up enough to work, so I couldn't be bothered waiting for the entire skewer to heat up.

This looks so appealing, I can't wait to try it! However, it seems a bit beyond my skill level, so I have a few questions I hope you may answer

Let me know if I miss anything as I have a habit of getting carried away and missing parts

[pakaboori]

Whee, thank you for the reply! You didn't miss anything, and I'm feeling a lot more confident with the new information. Two more questions have occurred to me, though. First, by custard powder, do you mean something like Bird's? It's not used much here so I want to be sure. Second, did you make the lattice before or after refrigerating it overnight? I was assuming that it had to be made just prior to serving, ie after refrigerating.

Also, would you make this again?

[pakaboori]

Also, in your instructions for the lattice you've written to dust with caster sugar - but it looks like you used (and called for in the ingredients list) icing sugar?

WOw, it's like a banana cake with pineapples and pecan! Must be so delicious!
