I made ILB cake yesterday, but most gone already.

Made this cake again - this time for DS's birthday . . just before the candles and some other "tropical" decorations were added. . .

[Wonder]

That looks fantastic goldfish, I love that tin.

I used this recipe but the vanilla version for DD's birthday cupcakes, strangely a few people said they tasted better the day after the party!

[goldfish]

Thanks, Wonder - we love the tin, too.  When I first saw it I thought it would be a nightmare to have the shapes come out properly, but I found if I just rub it carefully all over with butter there's no problem . . . .I've "up"graded the tapatalk and now I can't seem to control the size of the photographs      Am I missing something??

[Wonder]

What brand is the tin GF?

When I use tapatalk I have 3 different options for photo size but I remember others seem to not have those options - sorry can't help.

Wonder - the tin is from Nordic Ware

According to Victoria's Basement website this morning, it's available there . .

I have this cake in the oven as fairy vanilla muffins - replaced cocoa with vanilla custard powder then added some 100s&1000s to the mix in the last 20sec of mixing. 
Have no idea how they will turn out but hopefully they will be good - hoping to send them to school with miss7 on Friday as a end of term treat for the class as well as art of a thank-you and good luck for the teacher who is going on maternity leave. 

Will try to remember to post pics either here or the oops thread!!!!

Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeellllllllllllllllllllllllllll...
I for once bypassed my rule of checking the TM scales before using them, went ahead and wondered why the mix was too big for the bowl  , cooked them anyway and while the effect is there (colored streaks all thru) and the flavour of the insides is nice, the outsides were burnt before the insides were cooked.  No fault of the recipe, all fault of mine. 
Sure not wasted tho, the girls are eating them like there is no tomorrow!!

Hi everyone, I am planning on making these as cup cakes tonight and icing them in the morning. I have some cup cake 'cake toppers' (the rice paper ones - Fremantle Dockers ones for a grand final snack!) - but I have never used them before. What kind of icing would you recommend? I understand you don't want an icing that stays moist as it will make the image run.

Any tips would be appreciated.

Thanks

Shan, there should be some instructions that came with the topper?  I had some last year and they recommended white buttercream.

The finished result - I taste tested one last night....delicious!! Thanks for the recipe and help.

They look tasty Shan. What a pity they didn't win after that.
