    These cakes are stunning would love to have ago at some of these, just not quite sure what to do, can do basic sponge cake mix but how do you get the different shapes for the beer bottles

    my first attempt at a two tier cake, it looks ok from the front but from the side it leans a little, but im quite pleased how it turned out

    Hi all. I did a post a few weeks ago about my first ever market. Well it went really well! We sold 90 cupcakes and only had 6 left which we just gave away to the other stalls! Very pleased and cant wait to do another one. A lot of work the day before though!!

    Heres a picture of our stall on the day. We need to get a good table cover for the next time. This was just a temporary, not wanting to spend too much upfront, solution.

    And this is a cake I made today. First time I have ever made a bag and I am very pleased with it. I did it at a reduced price for a friend but I really need to stop doing that!

    Hi All your cakes are great I just wondered if I wanted to use angel delight for the icing would I add it to the made up butter icing? We bought some Morrison mix and it tasted just like strawberry angel delight

    Hi everyone! I don't post on this thread but am an avid reader and would be grateful for some advice!

    It's my sons birthday this week and as he is a golf fanatic, I thought it would be good to make him some Golf Ball cake pops.

    I have never made anything like this - is it difficult? and does anyone have a recipe and instructions? Also, what sort of icing would I use for the "white" outer bit?

    I thought I might be able to use white chocolate but, that tends to be creamy coloured and maybe a bit too sweet.

    Really fantastic creations on here! :T

    It would depend on how many you wanted to make, I use a basic vanilla mix and I would say an 8" would give you roughly 12. Use only a little bit of buttercream at a time, as for the coating I use Wilton Candy melts. They do a white cream one, try searching golf cake pops and see what images are brought up, I sell sticks on ebay if you need any! Look for cakepopkits seller, if you need anything else then please ask, hope this helps!
