Ahhh I think I've figured it out!! Off to try out my new method!! xx

 

[pinkmummy]

I've done it I whisked the eggs first and add them bit by bit with the flour and put a pinch of baking powder in too

Just looked and its risen brilliantly and still not due to be out for another 10 mins!! Will take a pic once its out xx

 

[nuttymummy]

wow lots to catch up on here!!

glad ur cake has risen!

what size tin are u using and what amounts are you using...

for an 8" i use 3 eggs, 175g of everything else do this TWICE and sandwich them together....should be about this thick once they have been leveledhttps://photos-e.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc1/hs202.snc1/6927_140910628322_509248322_2588431_8126483_n.jpg:

 

[pinkmummy]

Thats what I've done Will make another mixture once I get this one out of the oven If I don't think its big enough xx

I mixed the butter and sugar then added 1 egg and a spoonful of flour until all the eggs and flour were mixed in, could it be my method?

Thats what I do hunny, dunno.........what kind of margarine are you using?

Love that cake!

I have a hello kitty order for 9th Feb, dunno whether do do the HK head or do a round cake like you have done.......
I have Gemmas twilight one a few days later so the simpler the better!!

Tracey, need your inspiration.......... I am making a Sky+ remote for BIL s birthday on Monday, but it needs to be aimed towards the fact he only watches sky sports!

I got a guy on ebay to print out some skysports logos on rice paper but thats as far as I got!

 

[nuttymummy]

lol...well i dont have sky sports but im guessing theres alot of football involved!
id do a little footballer sat on the edge of the sky remote, and a few footballs lying around...and whatever other sport equipment gets shown on sky sports!!

I wished your live nearer to me!
I don’t want to go on my own...i hate doing stuff on my own especially when I don’t know anyone!
That’s part of the reason im doing it to try and meet new people and get my confidence up!
Its £65 for 2 months! BARGAIN!

 

[taperjeangirl]

see I am too nervous to go on my own too! That is a bargain though, you have to do it then you can come back and tell us your tips you learned!

Im wondering if its the butter! I was using lurpak but I bought some stork last night and used that in this last cake and I think that may have helped too! xx

 

[pinkmummy]

Oooo I want to do a cake making course! For £65 you can't go wrong!! x

 

[taperjeangirl]

yep stork is the one Butter is too heavy so you wont get a light and fluffy sponge with it

 

[pinkmummy]

I cant believe I wasted 500gm of lurpak LOL I feel like a right dunce LMAO xx

 

[pinkmummy]
