hi cattia, try cooking on a little higher...and for less time xxx

i havent accepted anybody to the group in a long time, and have never declined anyone....theres so many members n i dont know them all so i let the other two decide LOL

yeah Andrea..(sweetcakers lady) is amazing, she has attended lots of cake shows, masterclasses n workshops, ive seen some of her 'in action' pics...not sure if they are on the group? and ive seen one cut open....looks like she uses two layers of fondant!! no wonder its so flawless, but dont know if i could eat thru 2 layers!!

also seen the elmo cake in progress and some how she got red icing all over the back of the cake...not sure if she managed to get it off or not seeing as it was the back, but they sure do look amazing, her figures are brill!!

well i have a worktop full of bob heads sounds so wrong!!!

they are infact bob THE BUILDER 2d heads and wendy's, spud's, pilchards, and scrufftys. just got to finish them off 2moro n then they will be all set to put on some cupcakes on saturday

Where's Jac with that chocolate cake recipe for the one she made! It was awesome and I promised OH afer LO bday cake was done, the fondant would disappear and i'd make some diff ones

ha! the sweetcakes lady has a good name !

I would love to do workshops, classes but there is absolutely nothing here, there is a cake decorater that runs a few classes but its a bit in the middle of nowhere!

Everytime I get an order for a cake the first thing they say is "i am looking for a cake that is cheaper than truly scrumptious" Thats them that run the classes!!
Heres their website.... https://www.designer-cakes.com/

This woman lives just along the road and I am just dying to knock on her door and say "TEACH ME"!! "Ill work for free!!"

[nuttymummy]

i think im having a break today n finishing them off 2moro! LOL

awwww id love to make some mini monsters!! bet they look cute!

 

[taperjeangirl]

haha!i had the same with colouring the monsters!!

Loads of different colours, its at times like this you wish you could afford to employ someone to do the crappy jobs!!
I might start Gemma in it!!! Pay her for mixing up coloured fondant!!

The monsters are all sat on a plate in my kitchen looking up at me!!! I sent AG a pic of them and she is really happy with them! OH has dented my confidence with his cake comments!

Anyone got a good lemon cupcake recipe?

when i made lemon ones i just added some rind and lemon juice to the mixture, then some lemon juice to the buttercream and toped with some rind

 

[Glitterfairy]

Thats what i was thinking...similar to my lemon loaf cake but with buttercream.

Mum loves lemon cake so going to make her some lemon cupcakes as a surprise

 

[Glitterfairy]

I made a battenburg last night and my pink sponge didnt come out pink so i lost all interest then and kinda threw it together, it looked like crap but tasted delicous
