Hello, you could just mix some lemon zest with regular buttercream, but mixing lemon curd would be nice too. Just mix in a tablespoon at a time until you're happy with the flavour.

Hi guys

Looking for a lemon buttercream filling.

Heard people say use lemon curd. Do you just use that will standard buttercream?

Also how much if so

thanks

My mouth's watering just thinking about this. Yes, get some lemon curd and add it to your standard buttercream.

Also, a word of advice, don't buy the cheapest lemon curd because you can really taste the difference between the 23p jar and the 50p jar

Already bought it, got the extra special one for a whole £1

Thanks for the tips too

Hi All

In rather a hurry last night I made weetabix cake (tesco value version!) and as I was in the middle of all sorts I took it out thinking it was cooked only to cut into it this morning to see it's tacky in the middle still.

Will tea time tonight (24hrs after the event) be took late to give it a boost in the oven again? If so, will it be ok to eat anyway? I would have to drench it in custard or something.

Annoyed with myself as it was the lunchbox treat for the kids

Your help is very much appreciated as I am on such a tight budget this month as some of you may have seen (other thread still to be updated in case anyone wondered)

Thanks peeps

I don't know about putting it back in the oven Debtfree - more experienced cake makers will advise better on that one but I wanted to say my mum was a fabulous cake-maker but of all her creations one that us kids enjoyed most, and I still remember to this day, was a fruit cake accidentally cooked at the wrong temperature. It was cooked perfectly on the outside but the middle was all gooey and delicious - us kids loved it! She refused to make us another like it though! :rotfl:Your cake will probably be the same - even if it's not perfect it will be full of good ingredients so I shouldn't worry too much. Taste and see.

I usually put mine in the microwave if it isn't cooked, that way it doesn't get over brown.

I have just made a Plum crumble tart from plums off a neighbors tree and have forgot to put the sugar in with the plums, very tart to say the least. Dont want to throw it away any suggestions to sweeten it up please, going to work now so will look in tomorrow morning to see if I can save my Tart!!!!:(

Just sprinkle sugar on it?

Or could you scoop the innards out? Put them in a pan with added sugar, allow to cool a fair bit and then pout it back into your tart?

Perhaps serve the crumble with ice cream? Or serve it with custard made slightly sweeter?
