DESSERTSPOON
HOBBYHORSE

I think you missed the earlier answers - but it's always good to help!

Help appreciated parsing these....

29a After setback, no operation unduly taxed medium-sized server (12) - DESSERTSPOON

I can see NO OP(eration) (Setback) but not the rest.

7d Minister seizing newspapers - ie becoming autocratic (10) - REPRESSIVE

I get that there's REV + PRESS + IE, but where is the instruction to split the I and E?

Also,

42a The cup that cheers? (11,5) - CONSOLATION PRIZE

I don't really get this.

NO OP STRESSED (REVERSED)

Could it be that 'becoming' (fitting) is the indicator to fit IE around the V
????
