Thanks judydawn.
Ok next lot of questions. Done my test cake...haven't iced it though.
I would inc a picture but it is too large & I don't know how to downsize it 
It is only about an inch high then is rises in the middle, would I need a fatter cake?  Do I cut the top off where it has risen so it is flat to put my cake topper on?
I'm a real novice at this cake stuff!!!! Lol

Thanks KIMMYH. I'm about to make the practice cake, I'll do it in the tin I'm making the cake in to make sure the mixture is enough
Thanks everyone for your input.

I have never been one to make cakes & now I have a thermie I think I should try. My daughter is 8 at the end of this month & I would like to try & make a monster high cake. I bought a 27.5 x 27.5 cm square cake tin today so I have a few questions .....
What cake recipe should I use? Do I need 1 batch or 2?
I will probably purchase an edible icing cake topper off eBay so how do I go about icing it? I have googled monster high cakes & there is some really awesome ones out there but I think they have fondant? Icing.....looks very technical.
Any advice would be appreciated......Thanks

Hi. Just wondering if you can freeze pizza dough? Is there a best way of doing it if so?
Thanks.

Hi. I have leftover feta cheese approx 140g from making a dip yesterday.
Has anyone got any suggestions on what I can make with it? Seems a shame to waste.  Thanks in advance..

I've just been told that any orders before the 20th august get the old machine any orders after the 20th get the new machine.

So I put all the pkts into the freezer?
