They taper in at the bottom to hold your cake secure and loads of room in the top for your swirlies

they look ace, such a fab idea x

Well unless Ant goes to costco for me I am officially cupcaked/baking out
I only have about 200g of Icing sugar left, since I joined this group I have gone through 12Kg of Icing !!
god knows how many eggs etc...

I am so going to take a break and give my house a good clean, it is ok this baking lark but with the few orders I have had I have let my routine slip, and I am not happy ( she says still sat on here with a coffee )

i use unsalted butter for my buttercream so i should just add extra icing sugar.......... although i did. Maybe the kitchen was too hot.........................

 

[Blah11]

I am in love with Mickey
He is soooooo fab! lol!
Ok, so I had a disaster with the icing sugar as I put him on full speed straightaway and i disappeared in a cloud of puff I couldnt see to turn him down!

I tried a few recipes from the hummingbird book and OMG the sponge is lush....but I either have a problem with my cake making skills or the squires kitchen cases I bought are crap! The sponge stuck to the sides of them....has anybody else encountered such a problem?

I did some trial cupcakes yesterday for a lady my SIL works with and she really likes them so now she's after a price for 75 plain cupcakes, either with ivory coloured buttercream (which buttercream normally is isn't it? Well, bit more yellowey ) or like a blue/teal/turquoise coloured buttercream). She doesn't want them boxed and basically wants them plain, how much would you charge?

 

[princess_bump]

andrea...i watched NOES...very disappointing i need to watch the old ones to cleanse myself LOL

 

[xxxjacxxx]

ohhh no was it crap Tracey? Wont bother going to see it thdn

Have you any idea why my stupid cake mix stuck to the sides of my cases???

 

[taperjeangirl]

Oh no !! I'll pm you later on facebook!! Neil is scared to see it for that exact reason!!

 

[taperjeangirl]

it could be the cases jac, has it happened before?

 

[nuttymummy]

sometimes if u cook the cakes too slow it can lead to them sticking?

yeah its not as good as i thought it would be.

its not scary....one of the kills from the first movie was improved a little, but the rest were just crap...the make-up was crap, and most bits were just laughable...it just looked so wrong!!

 

[Glitterfairy]

The coffee ones were nice.Naughty me!

 

[KrisKitten]

argh today has been a nightmare...i forsee a very very late nights ahead of me, iv baked the 10" sponge, i have 2 3rds of the carrot cake in the oven due out at 8.45 and still have to do the last 3rd of it (i only have 2 tins, somehow i've lost the bottom for the third tin ) and i still havent done the chocolate cake....i need to decorate and finish the carrot cake tonight and at least have the double tier covered in fondant to try and keep fresh....
