another failure!  >:(
All the cake is in the freezer. Luckily for me I did a Cake Pop class last week. You make them with discarded off cuts of mud cake mixed with choc ganash or cream cheese. So I now have enough cake to make about 300 cake pops! So all the cake will now stay in the freezer untill I get some sticks. I think cake pops will be on the menu for DS2's 1st birthday in June.  :P
Going to try a normal butter cake recipe tomorrow and hope that I get better results with that.

@HomeMum, have you seen our cake pop Queen Maddy's cake pops - scroll down to check out some pictures on this thread and here's another one
Then there's these (first posting) and these lovely wedding pops.  I'm sure there are a lot more but these are just a few I found.

Bugger @HomeMum, what a shame. I have trouble with moulded cake tins, I think some cakes work and others don't. Gee hope the next one works for you or you will be making 400 cake pops lol. :)

OK so attempt #4 is now in the oven. This time I am trying this one- Basic Butter Cake - Lady Flo Bjelke-Peterson
Coated the pan in the cake release from the recipe linked above. Fingers crossed once again  :D

 ;D Yay! yay! yay!  ;D
Attempt #4 worked beautifully. The butter cake recipe was perfect. Breathing a huge sigh of relief here.

Milk choc mud sadly did not want to come out of the tin. Even after 3 attempts

Butter cake came out beautifully first time.
Thanks everyone for your encouragement, help and advice.
Now that the cake saga is all over I am heading back to the kitchen to start baking the cookies!

Loved this cake Denise! Thank you  :)



I poured the batter into 3 sandwich pans, and baked for 37 minutes, middle rack.  Also let the cakes cool completely in the tins, and came out easily.
for the icing I blitzed 100g cherry jam until smooth and runny, then set aside.  I  made a double batch of creamy vanilla frosting (minus the vanilla extract), and subbed with the jam.
absoluteley will make again  :-*

Maddy your cake looks far good to eat. Wow your presentation is amazing. It wouldn't really matter if the cake was made of cardboard as it looks wonderful :)

I am going to have to try this recipe. My daughter can eat a block of Cadbury's in one sitting so it will be perfect for her. What do you usually use for frosting/ icing?
