AHey Roxylee, that looks abit alright doesn't it?

AWow Roxylee, that mmf looks really good! The sticky gloopy mess that I made tasted lovely and I can't stand sp.

Tiddy, I love Baileys so much! Why have I never made a Baileys cake? Anyway I agree with Mel, just dump some in, taste, repeat, dump some in, taste, repeat, etc,etc, etc! As long as you remember to take note of how much you've added when you're warm and fuzzy you should be OK!

Ooh, actually i've just had a thought, I love baileys in coffee, a coffee cake with baileys would be lush!

AHi Maisie, I made cupcakes once with Bailey's buttercream, was soooooo lush. How did your cakes go today?

AOr a coffee and walnut cake with baileys buttercream. Mmmmm. Yum!

ANow thats right up up my street, coffee cake and Bailey's, heaven on a plate I'd say!

AHi, nanny, I was just thinking that would be the easiest, just flavour the buttercream with baileys. No cakes today nanny, one for one of my daughters classmates for Monday now. The pigs in mud cake went well, (in the end) much easier than I thought it would be.

How did your cakes go nanny? Last time I looked in you had about 37 to do in 2 days! Haven'tseen any pics tho, have i missed them?

Thanks Nanny and Maisie I just need to find something to do with it now though that shouldn't be to hard.

Nanny when I made my cake lace today it had loads of tiny bubbles in it, I let the icing rest for ten minutes then tried again and the second lot was loads better. Did you get bubbles in yours or have I done something wrong do you think? Here are the pics, the white ones are the first batch and the pink the second but I don't think you'll be able to see the bubbles properly on the pic.

some bits broke when I was getting them out of the mat.

AOooooh Roxy lovely lace!

Thanks Petitecat. 

AWhat I found was you really need to make a paddle movement back and for, then give it min or so and you will see all theres little air pockets appear, do do it again and again, if it broke when you tried to to take it off it means it isn't dry enough I think.

What Do you think of it Roxylee?

Hey Maisie, I've had a quiet few weeks, then all hell breaks loose next week and the week after, got 8 cakes, with 2 cakes in 1 day on two occasions, nuts! And 6 of them are so fiddly, well for me they are, not so much the cakes but figures etc.

AIts looking good though Roxylee.

AI'd love to try the mmf recipe roxy thank you! I'll send you the bc recipe, if you don't like too sweet I think you'd love it :-) it's harder to work with under SP as it's softer but I usually fill with it then do the crumb coat with ganache :-)

ALovely lace Roxy, so pretty in the pink.

You'll be fine nanny, are you worried about the pirate ship? Just saw your post on another thread.

I used a small angled spatula on the first batch then baked it in the oven it said in the packet for 15 to 20 minutes but some were a bit sticky on the side that was touching the mat and some were cracking. I think maybe that's because some mats were deeper than others so some weren't done enough and some were over done and cracked because they were to dry. When I saw all the air bubbles I had a quick look on the internet and it said about the paddling so I used my plastic spreading knife that came with my Ikea silicone mat.The claire Bowman video on you tube says 10 to 12 minutes.I had left the icing covered in the fridge to rest and  I had turned the oven off after the first batch so just put the second lot in while it was still warm and left them in until it went cold then put them on the table to air dry for a couple of hours. They were still a bit fiddly to get out but were a lot better and loads less bubbles. I have done some more and left to air dry overnight to see how they turn out. I read something earlier where it said to do another coat of icing and it will be easier as it is a bit thicker.

Thanks Nanny and Maisie.

I would like the buttercream recipe thank you Grey will send you the MMF recipe now.

AI'm off to bed now, g'nite everyone. :-)

goodnight Maisie 

AHi Tiddy, just saw your post about the baileys cake. When I make it, I replace the water/ milk or flavouring amount with Baileys and double it up. So if your recipe calls for two table spoons of milk, replace it with 4 table spoons of baileys. And when you torte your cake, drizzle some baileys on each layer and add more baileys to your butter cream.:grin:

oooh thank Bashini! will give it a go 

heres the random bag cake i decided to make for no reason lol

ANo problem.:-)

Siany, your work is fabulous !!

Tiiddy, the handbag is lovely an lurve your cake room too !!!

Maisie, two fab cakes!!!

And Barbara, sooo loving your kitchen!!!:smile:

That's fab Tiddy I love the texture on it, did you use a mould for the zip or make it yourself?

Haha, well I wish I could just decide to make a handbag cake and it look like that. Have you done all that today?

AStarted it yesterday afternoon and finished it in between two Minecraft cakes today :) I'm a bit spontaneous like that foxy! Hence the mahoosive spend today lol I'm going to take it to my daughters school tomorrow afternoon and bribe the headmaster to let me give out some leaflets :D

Thanks chasingmytail, the chocolate fondant sounds nice.

AFoxy? Haha! Auto spell :)

Haha, that's a good idea about the school you would get loads of orders then from all the mums.

A

Gray could I get that buttercream recipe to please. I find buttercream far too sickly so I'd love to try another option.

Roxy could I trouble your for your mmf recipe to please? Yours looks to have come out really well and I would love to try it. Thanks.

AWell that's the plan....need to get some money back haha! No one knows I make cakes so this should suprise them!
