Using A Giant Cupcake Mould?
Hi everyone,
My giant cupcake mould turned up today :-) I couldnt wait to try it. However,mmm,
it didnt turn out quite right! The cake itself is fine. I made sure i greased the both the moulds well as directed on instruction leaflet but a small amount did get stuck. It said to use marg so thats what i used could this be why ?
I cooked it at gas 4 for 35 mins ( the top ) and and extra 10 mins for the base. The cake is lovley. It rose perfectly but maybe a little too soft ?
I was quite impressed for a first go at this !!
I didnt actually have the full amount for the top LOL so it wasnt as big as it should be. But this is a trial run. I should of been more patient and had a trial run tomorow but i couldnt help myself !!
It mentioned using a ' box' mix? which i have to say, would be a little easier for me. But i did expect to make up my own mix. Is a box mix ok ? Are the amounts in box mixes all the same ?
I actually used, for the trial run a couple of packet mixes that a neighbour had given me a while back. I dont usually like using these.
I thought, rather than wasting eggs,butter,caster sugar etc on a cake that could possibly end up in the bin! i'd use these instead.
Im sure The Giant CupCake Queen can help me ;-)
But id be so happy for any advise, i shant put a pic of it on as its not perfect ( i decided to ice it and im having a nightmare with that at the moment lol )
Thank for any help
Lisa

Thanks katy ;-) I dont know what im going to do yet, June. The lady wants white chocolate butter icing but, at the min, thats still a problem. I might have to suggest something else or just explain that i cant do it. Need to tell her soon if i cant. Dont like letting people down .
I saw on Youtube, about making chocolate cupcake case by pouriing melted chocolate into the base mould. i thought of using white chocolate but not sure it would be a strong as using milk/dark chocolate ?
I ve googled a few images and also thought of, ( if i can get something sorted to get the butter icing right ) instead of just piping the top, maybe piping roses ?
Although i really do like your idea of doing the paper. :-)

White chocolate dries just as hard as the dark Lisa. So if you want to use that method, no reason why it won't work. :o)

Looking pretty good Lisa. How can you have lost your new nozzle already? Please don't tell me you've done what I have a habit of doing.......clear up and chuck things away by mistake?
btw I don't know if you know of this lady on Youtube (think she's a member here too), but she is an awesome cake maker and decorator and puts tutorials on youtube. I was notified this morning of a new one she has done on icing cupcakes. Edna de la Cruz is her name and this is the link to the tutorial -

Your cupcake looks pretty good to me Lisa. I have lost tips... where to look??? the garbage. That is where I have usually found them. Tossed out with something else in my hand. Have "gloved" up, and gone through. Haven't lost a tip yet. I have a habit of keeping a large kitchen plate where I put all my tips when I am working. Soon as it comes off my bag, right onto the plate.

Yup Lisa..... that's where you usually find them. Especially if they are disposable piping bags!!!!! When I decorate, I keep two plates, one for clean tips, one for dirty. Had to disipline myself cause i got tired of going through the garbage!!! Hee Hee.... :o)
So glad you found your tip.... starts costing $$$$ when we lose stuff.....

Ha ! I did actually think about the bin but convinced myself i wouldnt of been that stupid HA!
Just as well it wasnt an expensive one !! I really would of been cursing!
Wish id had of gone through the bin before so i could of tried the roses with the tip ive just been reunited with !
Thanks again

Im going to make the cake friday,and butter ice and decorate on the sat to deliver it sat afternoon.
Now, how do i store the sponge cake overnight ? Because of the size of it, it wont fit in a tin !!
Also, i cant find a box big enough to put it in to deliver it either. With one thing and another ive not been able to get one.
Any ideas girls ? Thank for any help :-)
