Great cakes girls
BZB, I love your cupcake wrappers.
In the last couple of days, I have made cupcakes, 3 different slices, 4 different biscuits and tonight I had to make more bread. My kitchen has been chaotic,and my dd has  also made 2 different types of biscuits and scones.  I am running out of plastic containers

Great cooking ES, how many of each do you have to present for the judging?

[CreamPuff63]

Dont jump to conclusions girls, ES is a big show stopper and her kids are likely to follow in her footsteps but probs just practicing ATM for the show? Hats off for getting them in the kitchen ES

My DH said thank you for all the birthday wishes. He's quite amused that he was mentioned in this forum.

ES, those cupcakes are stunning. Do you give classes?

Too pretty to eat Emerald 


Today's iced mud cake...shame it doesn't show the glitter....this one was from the new nordic ware tin, was really happy with how it baked evenly



And the spare one made in the silicone form....it's really rubbish in comparison for baking, so it's been turfed!

Don't be so frigging harsh on yourself Maddy. Those cakes are great x

[maddy]

Great cake Maddie. Can I ask which mud cake recipe you use? I have to make DD's this weekend and have always used one from a member on the taste forum.

Wonder, I made this one from RC  http://www.recipecommunity.com.au/recipes/best-ever-mud-cake/56147
Didn't mind it....it does need a larger tin or 2 tins....thought mine was big enough, but clearly not



....just cut the top off & all was good.  My tin measurement was 21cm x 8cm D.  Kept wrapped in fridge & iced next day.
Used the same recipe for the giant cupcakes.

Great cakes ES and Maddy.  Such talent you ladies have.

ES all that cooking looks great, those cupcakes look amazing.

BZB, we are using those same cupcake wrappers for DD's birthday next week but in lime green.

Maddy, those cakes look great. I'll compare the recipe to the one I normally use. I'm doing a fondant cake for her main cake so planning on making sunday and then icing over Wednesday/Thursday all ready for Friday night.
