The Phwoaar Cake Thread: All Cakes, All the Time!

Deadly Deadly Deadly- Mars bar slices!

its nothing to do with her letting them through as such, it's personal choice. When you do novelty cakes, what you need is something that is strong enough to carve, and to do that (as with stacked cakes) you need a special type of sponge cake. Many people use madeira cake as this suits its need but can be a dryer cake

don't forget, you can easily end up with around 1.5kg of icing on some cakes, so they need to be able to support it

Ahhh, I see. Do you have a recipe for these strong cakes?
One of the cakes I did was just any no recipe bash-it-out sponge, which was very crumby (IYSWIM) and annoying to do intricate stuff to.

passionfruit cream

wow like to try that.

 

[TrippyLondoner]

I wouldn't.

I've got to say, most of those cakes look absolutely disgusting, particularly all run together like this.

 

[ATOMIC SUPLEX]

Holy fuck!

Is that clotted cream?

 

[sheothebudworths]

More likely boiled condensed milk - which makes the toffee/caramel like layer in a caramel slice.

 

[sheothebudworths]

(And clotted cream isn't that runny anyway )

Somebody likes blue then?


This was my latest cake - a banana and almond cake with chocolate fudge icing/filling (which was naturally served with a huge dollop of thick cream ) for my son's 9th birthday.

The lolly decoration is fucking inspired I'm so doing that for Mr K's next birthday

 

[sheothebudworths]

Yeah - the chocolate button theme had got a bit tired and overdone, so....

(Kind of backfired a bit mind you, cos it meant they just raced to finish the cake so they could start on the lollies. )
