    well ds had a fab day at school - thanks for all your replies!

    I am a bit less stressed but I still have his birthday to sort out for tomorrow. I bought a silicone giant cupcake mould to make his cake which wasn't a great success so I have had to make another this evening - this time a tried and tested choc one:D

    will catch up properly Friday when all has calmed down.

    well done to the winners - wow you are on a roll

    What happened with your giant cupcake?? Did the mould not work well?? I was going to buy one of these. A friend of mine that makes cakes told me that you can get the same effect with a pyrex bowl an an 8 inch tin and cut the shape with a knife - might try this instead.

    it stuck to the mould - maybe I didn't grease it enough. I will try again and hopefully succeed for ds2's birthday in November:D

    Maybe get that spray oil to coat the inside of the mould first. Did it cook ok in both parts of the mould??

    it did cook ok but took AGES. I have used the mould to make the second cake using a different recipe (that I have used before) and it is taking much longer than usual to cook - weird!

    Cuttlebugglers and Bigshotters and even if there's another Wizard out there, over on the Cuttlebug Challenge blog there is a challenge to make a happy birthday card with at least two layers, easy peasy for the talented crew on here. It started today so plenty of time.

    Ah, thank you! I knew it would be something obvious! I wish I could ban acronyms from this world, I can never work them out. :/
