cakes

[pinkglitter]

I currently make cupcakes and my friend has given me only 3 days notice to make 20 cupcakes for a special occasion , anniversary- she must have known i would not be able to get the bits by three days trouble is I said yes but it is short notice. I don't want t let her down but his is last minute. com

I love butter icing.

To bake or not to bake tonight... Do you think I might be finished before Sunday?

[HoneyDragon]

Depends. If you're a professional you'll be lucky to be done by Sunday, if you are just a rank amateur than you'll be finished by tea time tonight.

Ye gods, do you realise you can get "electric cupcake makers"?? We are living in the end times, people.

[HoneyDragon]

I bought one of those when my oven packed in , it was great.

[Fakebook]

I've just put some cakes in the oven and will ice them later. OP, where are you up to?

[MadBusLady]

I like your priorities, Honeydragon. Roast shmoast, casseroles meh, pasta bakes bleh. CAKE. NO MEANS TO MAKE CAKE. AAAAAAAAAAH.

[fancyanother]

Don't go to Cineworld, buy a medium popcorn deal with diet coke thinking it's a low cal alternative to a hotdog and then put it into myfitnesspal

[MadBusLady]

Look, you could also have bought this Electric Pie Maker which is apparently "a lot less hassle than firing up the oven".

Well, that's a relief.

[fancyanother]

They get 4 hours to do the showstopper challenge on Great British Bakeoff!

[HoneyDragon]

MadBusLady clearly, you were in my house at the time

[HoneyDragon]

Now I have a hankering for scotch pies .....

[Lweji]

There's also the 5 min cupcake
Who needs an oven?

[Lweji]

I certainly hope not to fire up my electric oven!

[MrsBucketxx]

Op probably feels a bit silly, well a lot silly.

I only ever make batches of 24 anyway cause they go too fast I inhale them

[CakesAreNotTheAnswer]

The only reason it would take me 3 days to make a batch of fairy cakes is because I spent the intervening 2 days and 22 hours scoffing the 4 previous batches I had made. ..

weirdo

[JerseySpud]

yabu

and why is it anyone who can bake fairy cakes nowadays without burning them suddenly makes cakes to order?

[Lj8893]

I have just bought and ate a pack of doughnuts because of this thread.

I would have made cakes instead but wanted them now, not in over 3 days time.

[Wheresmycaffeinedrip]

:o jersy

[HoneyDragon]

I don't bake to order

Well unless you count the dcs coming in the kitchen and wailing

Caaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaake

Ad infinitum until I switch the oven on.

I love it when people call cupcakes "fairycakes" it must be so irksome to the wannabe cupcake professionals.

[HoneyDragon]

A properly done little fairy cake with a blob of buttercream in the wing divot and lightly dusted with icing sugar "wings" is a thing of beauty.

[ViviPru]

Amen to that. I've got the Prospero out and am now attempting Vicky Sponge Take Two. Self raising self raising self raising self raising self raising self raising.

[HoneyDragon]

Viv

You need self raising flour

[farewellfigure]

Ooh Viv are you the vicky sponge woman from a previous thread about the weird names people call food? Like Tommy K for ketchup? I've called it a vicky sponge ever since.
