  They are called fondant. I think it's made of sugar, and colouring.
  
  She learnt all these through baking forums.

  i tried baking double choc muffins and it turned out with a cracked top. the inside became hard after 2 days...what could the problem be?
  
  i used low-fat milk in the recipe, does it affect the muffins in any way?

  yeah...but i substituted the raisins for the choc chip and added in cocoa powder cos i wanted to bake the double choc muffins instead of the original raisin muffin.

  maybe the cocoa powder made the mixture too dry so it cracked when you baked ?
  im not very sure too hmm ..

  low-fat milk less fats so maybe less oil to keep the thing together.
  
  and erm i think low fat milk prob easier to spoil

  when baking muffins, you must think of them as minicakes.
  Don't skimp on the liquids just because they are small. They need more liquid ingredients as they dry out very quickly.

  when i bake cheesecake, i use a 'double boil' method...
  
  as in, i wrap up the pan with aluminium foil, put inside a tray filled with some water.. so that the cake will not turn out dry and cracky.. will turn out smooth and soft.
  
  haven try baking muffins before, so duno whether it will work the same..
  
  envy u girls... got time to bake..
  
  i definitely wun have the time and energy to bake this week..
