how much sponge mix would you need for 2 7'' sandwich tins? x

 

[Boothh]

oo and would i put them both in at the same time or one at a time? x

 

[Arlandria]

I use 6oz and 3 eggs and I usually put em in at same time xx

 

[Boothh]

[pinkmummy]

I am making my Godson's first birthday cake today and tomorrow EEEEEKKK!!

Doing it from scratch and carving it myself and everything!!

I want to make a little figure to go on top but I'm not too sure what I want to make ... hmmmmm xx

 

[taperjeangirl]

booth for that size tins i would use 6 eggs in total, and bake them separately! But everyone does it different!

 

[lorrilou]

stupid question but how do i keep my cake flat on the top? They always go into a peak and im wanting to try icing a big cake so want the top to be flat.

 

[taperjeangirl]

if you are baking it too fast it will form a peak top, but nomatter how slow you do it you will probably have to trim it, I trim mine then use the bottom as the top iykwim?! the bottom is flat and straight!

 

[pinkmummy]

I do that too Andrea!!

I have cut up and buttercreamed my number 1 cake Going to have a bath and then ice it and decorate it xx

 

[lorrilou]

im sooo happy they came out of the tins without a fuss! all that greasing worked lol, i cant believe they came out so good, and they actually taste nice too cus i broke abit of the inside off and taste lol,

cant decide what to inside now might do lemon curd and then runny icing on the top!
