I have a recipe which calls for 100g of lightly whipped double cream - with cream normally being measured in ml/floz then does this mean I need to convert the measurement to a liquid one or do I literally weigh out 100g of cream?!!? Help please! Thanks.

Half a cup of cream (Euro measure) is around 120 grams, so if you work with half a cup, i.e. 120 grams, you will have allowed 20 grams for wastage when you whip it up.
Whipping cream isn't going to affect the weight, other than the wastage produced as part of the process.
You will be increasing the volume by mixing in air, so go with the weight of the neat cream.
Be sure to keep it cool after whipping.
