11inch Cake (Daughters Birthday)

[razer121]

She is 5 and i've taken on the task of making this cake for her...she has no idea yet but im pretty worried as the first 1 failed....really badly! (wasnt enough mixture)

So onto the cake, the tin is a whooping 11inch one....no small cake as this thing has to feed all her friends that come over, so i've got the presure of getting this done by tomoz aswell as all the other parents counting on me to get it done by 3 tomoz eek!!!

So far the bottom half is cooking now...lets hope it doesnt fail! i will update with pictures when it is done!

And just to make it clear, it's going to be 2 halfs with iceing in the middle and on the top

Show! i want to see, this is about the 3rd cake i've made. I purposely made a few beforehand to make sure i could do it

i am fine with the sponge side of things as i do all the cooking at home, buttercream and jam in the middle with buttercream on top. i got a piping kit from tesco today to see if i can make a nice job like yours

Nice job Razer, after reading your first post I was half expecting fire and tears by the end of the thread. Outdid yourself there mate.

That looks pretty spectacular actually!

The way you were talking I was expecting a split and dripping Victoria sponge

Thanks guys It was TBH a mess to start with, the first half didn't rise and fell apart, the second time i had to make anouther mix and mix it into the bottom half (yes the bottom half has two mix's in!)

The top half was the only bit that went smoothly! even the icing had to be made twice XD and as for icing...well lets just say i used a nife to remove them blobs (im sorry i dont know what there called) a fair few times!

So yes it was a very eventfull night to get it done but i'm impressed and so was everyone else and the emily was overly impressed so i'm a happy chappy.

just a bit in the colouring, the jelly diamonds were not bad either, natural colourings

[razer121]

Damn you Gonzo.....Thanks for making mine look dull XD plus1 for creativity though! Did it take long to do the side's on thatlooks very yummy mind

scooped it on thick and used a fork to spread it round

it was really nice but we have all put on weight, the 1 on top has 2 meaning's. 1 year old and 1 million calories

Dads girlfriend couldn't believe i did the bday spread and cake all by myself
