X posting form food as not sure who can help.
I'm good at baking but mainly small things (muufins,bread,small cakes etc). Not really proper iced cakes. However I am trying to make a birthday cake for DD.
So, questions include.
- Batter: I got a shaped silicon mould and made a double vic sponge recipe (350gm sugar/butter/self r flour/6eggs/3teasp baking p). How long&what temp should I bake it. Took forever at 180C and edges a bit burnt while centre took ages to set.
- Icing: way to sloppy (120gm butter&250gm icing sugar). Any suggestions? Or is roll out prepared icing easier?
Looking for tips form the experts!
Cheers!
