Do you mean the pink heart is a sponge cake? I really want to try these!!!

Yes i baked some sponge that i'd coloured pink and cut it into heart shapes.

those ones hadn't been whitened, was just buttercream. I used more than double icing sugar and just beat the crap outta it. I think the camera flash helped too
Can someone please explain to me how the whole freezing or refridgerating a cake so it's easier to carve works! Xx

Wallie, they are lovely, how do you get your chocolate buttercream so dark and shiny? Mine always looks horrible. lol

Try my recipe and see how it works for you:

175g dark chocolate (good quality 70% cocoa solids)
225g of unsalted butter at room temperature
1 teaspoon semiskimmed milk at room temperature
1 teaspoon of good quality vanilla extract
250g icing sugar, sifted

I used the popular Winton 1M nozzle too.

Hope that helps!

I searched online for this cos my dad is a diabetic. I found this

Dunno what it would taste like with fruit juice in it.

Hmmm yummy cuppies!!!!

I'm making a golf themed birthday cake today. Luckily I'm putting a bunker of the top of it as I was a dimwit and opened the oven too early (thought I'd got away with it) and it's sunk in the middle!

So I'm off to the cake shop to pick up some fondant.

Hope your whitener comes in time Laura!

Hi ladies,
i havent been on here in ages.

Since my last visit i now have a website

www.thelittlecupcakery.net

Things have been going well and today i have just taken an order for a 12" square
fisherman themed cake, Bit worried as ive never iced a square cake before always round ones. Is it harder?
