I bought a silicone giant cupcake mould. I have the metal one but like the idea of being able to take the top part our if it cooks first!

Will this take a 6 egg mix? Or more?

Thanks x

I'm interested to know if you use the 6 egg / 12 oz method for best results, or weigh the same quantities of the eggs, fat, sugar and four?

6 eggs
350g butter
350g sugar
350g SR flour
175g plain flour

Hope the pic doesnt turn out too big! I havent been on in ages but thought I would share my latest cake with you. Im very proud of this one, especially as I have been suffering with bad morning sickness (Im pregnant with twins) and still managed to finish it :T. I was so nervous about getting it done but had lots of compliments. Bottom tier was fruit, 3rd tier vanilla sponge, 2nd tier chocolate sponge and top tier vanilla sponge again.

That is stunning, cake4brains! Well done on managing to do it with morning sickness! What sizes of cakes did you do?

The recipe I use is 6oz butter, 6oz sugar, 6oz sr flour, 6 eggs, 2tsp baking powder, 1 tsp vanilla. I got it from someone here ages ago (cant remember who, sorry!)

Cake4brains, that is amazing, well done for being brave and doing it while you've been feeling rough xxx would love to see pics of your wedding cake when you've done it
