    Lovely thanks, I'll post back with the results! Also I assume I'd have to use a denser cake than a normal sponge, something like a maderia would work yeah?

    I did another Mickey Mouse cake - this was my second time - this time I used a cake covered in vanilla buttercream to make it pop - think it came out well. My next one is going to be Elmo I think :)

    Tried Swiss Meringue Frosting. It was pretty nice but wouldn't be favourite topping.

    But it tastes SO much better than regular butter icing! I love it.

    Love the two tone! It reminds me of a posh 99.

    The two tone icing was easy I just put 1 colour on 1 side of the icing bag and the the other colour on the other side.

    How did you make the buttercream taste like candy floss?

    Gave red velvet cupcakes a try today, was my first time doing them and they came out pretty well in the end, I was happy with them :)

    Another christening cake I made last week, I didn't do the figures on top they were provided to me, I did the rest of it though.

    I love this thread so much and am always looking at the pictures! Thought it was time that I contributed :P
    I made a vanilla and chocolate marble cake with a chocolate buttercream. It was really tasty but next time I will do some more swirling! I was scared that it would all mix together and not be defined but it was grand and I just would have preferred a bit more of an impact on the inside. Other than this it was really tasty :)

    I love cake
    So glad this thread is still going after all these years. When I made it, Cake & Pie was a stand alone ignored forum, there hadn't been a post in 6-12 months.

    No pics to prove, but I made Anzacs last night. They're an Australian oaty biscuit, a little bit chewy. Great with ice cream! They were all devoured by this morning.

    Loving all the pics of the cakes and cupcakes. Just wondering what nozzle is the best for piping on cupcakes. Love the effect like the picture posted by Stray-Cat few days ago.
