Here are my latest attempts. Sticky toffee cupcakes with salted caramel topping and Pear and Almond cupcakes with a Vanilla topping. The sticky toffee topping was a bit on the thin side so didn't pipe very well.

thank you so much for the lovely comments about my cakes! sometimes i really do think seriously about taking it up for a living, but then my sensible head kicks in!!! LOL

Anyway, my giant cupcake mould came today! YAY!! I can feel some experimentation coming on this weekend. Does anyone have a foolproof recipe / quantities / cooking time for this kind of mould?

Many thanks in advance

Hi Moosetastic
Could I just ask where did you get your cupcake cases from all I can find are little fairy cake cases or the silicone muffin ones.
TIA

Thank you. These were out of woman and home food magazine which cones out 4 times a year. I was lucky enough to get the hummingbird bakery cupcake book and Australian womens weekly cupcake book fir Christmas last year and they have some really lovely ideas in them.

go back to post 215 and you will see the ingrediants and amounts to put in your mould if it is the silicone one.

I have just finished a christening cake today, I will post pics later after I have delivered the cake.
Thanks for the suggestion of the cornflour and icing sugar it worked a treat, although I think my kitchen work surface is suffering today.
Just got a few cakes to do this week, but at least its onky for my son, he has asked for a go go crazy bones cake, doh why did I ask him what he wanted!

I'm really pleased with the way it has turned out, and I definately think my writing is improving.
