im not surprised! my oven is on all the time too...my cakes take an hour to cook, and i bake to, so thats a minimum of 2 hours...nevermind all the pre-heat time and time inbetween whilst im mixing the second cake. and thats only if it a bog standard 8" round LOL

I did 6 sponges in swiss roll tins! So they ended up all super fluffy and light, then cut it down a bit and stuck it altogether with Jam!!

we yalking yumminess again in here?

Ohhh my books arrived today, got one that was recommended by hevz, the hummingbird bakery cookbook, ohh some of the recipes in there yum! Got some debbie brown quick n easy party cakes, although some of them look far from easy

I'm still waiting for my new rolling pin to do my fondant and then I'm going to have trial go of this fondant lark. I want to experiment with all these new wilton nozzles I won from ebay....im all excited!

I have the hummingbird book jac. I didnt like the cupcakes or brownie recipes.. too sweet! but the pie recipes mmmmm especially the keylime and pumpkin pies!

I really wanna make a cake tonight but no ingredients maybe my oh will take me to tesco. wanted to do a sponge but with buttercream over it instead of fondant

 

[Glitterfairy]

I am in the mood to bake bake and bake some more! Have no ingredients or anything though.

I have the Hummingbird bakery book too.Looks like some lovely recipes in there.

 

[nuttymummy]

i have that debbie brown book...the 50 easy party cakes one....i think ive only made one out of there!! LOL

ive heard of that hummingbird one....i think mine is the primrose bakery book...i dont see the point in me buying them really because i never follow the recipes!! i make my usual sponge n just add the flavoured bits!!! like the raspberry n white choc ha ha xx

 

[taperjeangirl]

the only baking books I have bought, are vintage ones off ebay that will look cool on my kitchen shelves!!!!!!

I do the same as Tracey! Just add whatever is in the cupboard!

I am having a break for a week now, no cake order till next weekend, for a girl off here
Its her Mums 50th, I am excited to do this one cos she pretty much let me decide what I wanted to do!
Its all flowers and ribbon..... my kind of cake!!!

Jac try adding some freshy squeezed orange juice, orange rind and some extra cinnamon to your carrot ones

PInk it is expensive but most places will charge you that!
The thick cardboard ones from there are really sturdy

dunno, I usually just guess!

A medium size jaffa orange, rinded and the juice from it.....

did you have cinammon in your first recipe?

I'd probably add about 2 teaspoons

Not made carrot cake for years! Might make it this weekend!
