hi - mixed spice is a british blend of sweet spices such as cinnamon, nutmeg and all spice - it is sold as mixed spice in most British shops. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mixed_spice for more.

I am reading your recipe for Hot Cross Buns and you listed "mixed spice". What is that?

I haven't tried this but basically it would depend on whether cashews can be ground down (in a processor)into a nut "flour" which will then blend into a workable paste. The other question is whether you would like the taste which may turn out stronger or weaker than expected. Another thing that occurs to me is that cashews may contain more oil than almonds which might make the paste less able to set. Why not try it with a small quantity? Let us know how you get on.

for almond icing, I would like to use cashews in place of Almonds. Is this possible?
