***sheepishly peeps round the door***

hey ladies
im the ultimate novice, but determined to get baking!
my mum was an excellent baker, and every year we each had the most amazing birthday cake creations, they were legendary! She died 4 years ago now, so will never get to make a birthday cake for Ruby Roo.. so i need to step up and become the birthday cake tradition carrier on-er!

Ruby will be 1 in july, so i have just over 4 months to make a perfect, amazing & best of all, tasty birthday cake for her party!

does anyone fancy taking me under their wing as a cyber apprentice lol? ive zero baking experience, but i can cook, have an art degree so can get creative, im willing to learn and have an excellent taste for a good cake ;-)

seriously.. ive NEVER baked a cake before in my life! where do i start!!!??

 

[x-Rainbow-x]

i think that the best starter cake recipe is andreas!! its fab!

[pinkmummy]

That's brilliant hun!! I dunno how to get the icing sugar off the icing either. Xx

 

[taperjeangirl]

Looks great Leanne!

you can roll out your black icing with cocoa powder so it isnt as obvious, if any icing sugar etc is left on mine I dip a soft paintbrush in water, wipe off the excess then "paint" the icing sugar off iykwim?!

 

[taperjeangirl]

no one wants to teach me

Do you mind doing it for me too? I know it's cheeky but i really need help

My new oven arrived today so i can start making the odd one but i'm a complete novice really. I used to help my nannan about 8 years ago but that's as far as i get.... I couldn't do it on my own

Sorry if i'm cheeky

Has anyone bought any cake tins from ebay? If so, was they any good or pretty pants?
