Wow some great cakes, I love seeing the photos so thanks for posting them.

I've just been asked to make an angry bird cake, how can I make a round cake easily?

A Pyrex Pudding Basin?

Can any one suggest what the best recipe to use for baking a cake in a pyrex dish? mind you, im so rushed for time i was tempted to buy just add an egg mix lol!

I have used the recipe in post #951 for Birthday Cakes made in a pyrex dish.

That cake is brilliant! I can see the recipient loving that! I wouldn't fancy setting it up at the party though!

Heres a few cakes I have made recently


Maple and Cinammon cupcakes. So good!



This one for my hubbys birthday. Inspired by the Lorraine Pascale cake. He took it into his work and they were very impressed and it even got me a cake order!



Tatty teddy cake. Went to a half day class to make this. It was great fun. I also did a mini cake at the same place last year. I have instructions for both and I have been meaning to upload them so I shall try to do so soon.



A cake I made for a band I like. I went to an Acoustic gig of theirs on the day their new album was released and this is the album cover. They loved it



This is the order from hubbys works. Perry the platypus. I just made it a few days ago and Im very pleased with it





Loving the Mario cake above. So many good cakes on here. Im going to make a St Patricks day one for work this week

Question from novice again.....How do you get cupcakes to come out flat on top so you can do all that fancy icing?

I think it's just trial and error to be honest. Try varying the amount of mixture you put into the cupcakes.

Have you tried making a little dip in the middle so it isn't the same flatness before you bake them?
