I've made this cake twice this week - 1 vanilla slab and a chocolate one - used 1 1/2 batches in each and they are now in the freezer ready for my pop's 90th on Sunday. ;D Do you think it will be ok to thaw them on Saturday night and decorate them then????? I thought they should be ok popped straight into the fridge and left overnight.  ???
Thanks in advance  ;D

Help!! I am making cupcakes for my dd who turns 18 on Xmas eve to take to work!!

First time I have ever used this recipe, first of all it was very runny, is that normal or maybe my scales were out, it was more pouring consistency than spooning.  I filled the cases up to about two thirds full and baked them and they are like volcanoes, see picture.  I have soo much to do and not enough time!!! Now I have to start again!! Any tips would be most welcome.

I found I only needed to half fill the cupcakes and the mixture was pourable (not even sure if that's a word) good luck

You could make fairy cakes as well couldn't you?  Just cut the top bit down a bit for the wings.  Save all your scraps of cake if you use Megan's suggestion and make Chookies Queen of Puddings with them. You can use either breadcrumbs or cake crumbs for that recipe.

I Meagan, what a wonderful suggestion I would never have thought of that. I am such a perfectionist that I am my own worst enemy sometimes!!!!!,  made two more batches and have now worked out just the right amount to put in the cases will. Try your suggestion for my practice icing!!!
