We used to use Xmas cake decorations that had little lumps of 20+ year old icing on them ... probably had lead paint on them too.A kind word lasts a minute, a skelped erse is sair for a day.0

totally fine, when I've made cakes of strange shapes (don't ask, it was when the kids were little) i used to cover cardboard in tinfoil to use as cake boards'We're not here for a long time, we're here for a good time0

I've never seen the boards that cheap so thanks for saying they were cheap at tescos, how big was it?Loved our trip to the West Coast USA. Death Valley is the place to go!0

This was a Mrs Beetons recipe using S R Flour, 3 eggs, castor sugar, marg and all went this time into my Kenwood then in the over gas mark 4 for 25-20 minutes.All my views are just that and do not constitute legal advice in any way, shape or form.£2.00 savers club - £20.00 saved and banked (got a £2.00 pig and not counted the rest)Joined Store Cupboard Challenge]0

Well personally I don't use the all in one method , I beat the sugar and marge together , then the eggs one at a time and stir the flour in with a metal spoon , I've never had a failure.. but I think the all in one method works equally well ... mark 4 for 25-30 mins sounds ok... maybe someone else will spot a reason why... does it just not rise? or does it sink in the middle?#6 of the SKI-ers Club :j

I put it into two separate sandwich tins is that what you mean by all in. It is flat nothing to sink lol like a frisbee darn it.

Hmm, I add mine in stages, the way Tanith described above, but mum uses all in one and into the mixer... The only times either of them hasn't risen is when someones got a bit impatient and opened the oven door a lot while its cooking!*2016 - the year of the savings account!*
