Welcome to part 5 of the fondant cat parade
The fondant cat parade tells the story in limericks of Dinah the Kitten, daughter of Daddy Grey and Mommy Cat, who likes to sleep and escape to Wonderland in her dreams. While in Wonderland, Dinah meets a variety of brightly coloured and fun fantasy kittens. The fondant cat parade illustrates some of the wonderful fondant art that appears in all the Sir Chocolate books.
Today, you will learn about Small the Kitten.
Look out for part VI of the fondant cat parade tomorrow when you will meet Buttercup the Kitten. You can download the full illustrative PDF of the fondant cat parade here https://robbiesinspiration.wordpress.com/dinah-in-wonderland-fondant-cat-parade/.
How to make chilli cheese and sundried tomato scones
Ingredients
450 grams self-raising flour
1 teaspoon salt
100 grams butter, cubed
150 grams chilli cheese, grated
100 grams strong cheddar cheese, grated
120 ml milk
120 ml cold water
50 grams sundried tomatoes, cut into pieces
Method
Pre-heat the oven to 220 degrees Celsius or 428 degrees Fahrenheit. Place the pieces of sundried tomatoes into the milk and water mixed together and set aside.
Sieve the self-raising flour and add the cubed butter. Using the tips of your fingers rub the butter into the flour until it forms crumbs. Add the chilli cheese and cheddar cheese to the flour mixture. Make a well in the centre of the buttery mixture and pour in the milk and water mixture. Mix until a soft dough forms and all sticks together.
Place the dough onto a lightly floured surface and pat into a flat piece of dough about 1 cm thick. Don’t roll using a rolling pin. Cut the dough into round circles and place on a prepared baking tray. Using a pastry brush, glaze the top of the scones with a little milk.
Bake in the oven for 12 to 15 minutes until golden brown. Cut the warm scones in half and serve with butter.
BOOK BLURB:

Contains five recipes that children can make under adult supervision
AUTHOR BIO:
Hello, my name is Robbie, short for Roberta. I am an author with seven published children’s picture books in the Sir Chocolate books series for children aged 2 to 9 years old (co-authored with my son, Michael Cheadle), one published middle grade book in the Silly Willy series and one published preteen/young adult fictionalised biography about my mother’s life as a young girl growing up in an English town in Suffolk during World War II called While the Bombs Fell (co-authored with my mother, Elsie Hancy Eaton). All of my children’s book are written under Robbie Cheadle and are published by TSL Publications.
I also have a book of poetry called Open a new door, with fellow South African poet, Kim Blades.
I have recently branched into adult and young adult horror and supernatural writing and, in order to clearly differential my children’s books from my adult writing, I plan to publish these books under Roberta Eaton Cheadle. My first supernatural book published in that name, Through the Nethergate, is now available.
I have participated in a number of anthologies:
- Two short stories in #1 Amazon bestselling anthology, Dark Visions, a collection of horror stories edited by Dan Alatorre under Robbie Cheadle;
- Three short stories in Death Among Us, an anthology of murder mystery stories, edited by Stephen Bentley under Robbie Cheadle;
- Three short stories in #1 Amazon bestselling anthology, Nightmareland, a collection of horror stories edited by Dan Alatorre under Robbie Cheadle; and
- Two short stories in Whispers of the Past, an anthology of paranormal stories, edited by Kaye Lynne Booth under Roberta Eaton Cheadle.
