Kaihikatea Xmas cake Box
This handcrafted wooden cake box has been constructed using 18mm Kaihikatea (white pine) to provide extra insulation and is designed with a suspended base for extra strength. Dimensions are 23cmX 23cmX9.5cm (approx). Each box is constructed then placed in an oven at 140deg C for one hour and then left to cool. The box is then taken apart and trimmed to minimise the gaps that occur during the seasoning process before being re-assembled and oiled using several applications of rice bran oil. So the box is ready to line with baking paper and slow bake your favourite cake. You must remember to always line your cake box with either baking paper or brown paper. Simply brush any crumbs or spills out after each use and never wash your cake box by immersing it in water. These boxes are designed for slow and low baking at temperatures of 150C or lower and they should not be used on the stovetop or in the microwave. Re-apply rice bran oil when the wood starts to look dry.
Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?
An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.
When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?

“I’m from Tamaki Makaurau. I have a good job with Riverside market. I am security, and we need this area nice and clean. We don't want dirty things everywhere, like rubbish.
I like Christchurch because there's lots of entertainment, lots of people, all loving, give me aroha, tautoko mai. Kia kaha, be strong.”
I've been a hustler for 18 years now. I'm a lover, I'm a hustler. I'm in here to entertain Christchurch, all around Christchurch. I'm a busker and I'm an entertainer.”
