Alis girls Posted November 25, 2012 Share Posted November 25, 2012 i got my big cup cake tin albeit in silicone yesterday. I know some one had made one on here. It says a 6 egg mixture is the best recipe. Any tips please. I was goin to grease and flour it for ease of removal. Its ES's 17th on Friday so want to make in advance. thanks Ali x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlottechicken Posted November 25, 2012 Share Posted November 25, 2012 I'm pretty sure it was Craftyhunnypie, and she posted pics as well It was one huge cupcake Edited to add: here it is Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craftyhunnypie Posted November 25, 2012 Share Posted November 25, 2012 Oh that is such an old photo now - so embarrassing. My hair!!! It seems so short there! The cake was such a mess - ha ha. Just look at the icing running down. Oh it's so funny. I can't rememebr what sort of a mix I used. I've got a feeling it was my normal mix doubled up.. I normally do 175g of sugar, butter, flour & 3 eggs. So I think I doubled it all up, but I really can't remember. The mould has never been used since, as I didn't like silicone bakeware.

Olly Posted November 25, 2012 Share Posted November 25, 2012 If it's silicone, don't grease it - I always have to remind myself of this, but they are supposed to perform better without. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goosey Lucy Posted November 26, 2012 Share Posted November 26, 2012 I think you have to grease them the first time you use them. Tbh I always use that spray on fat spray and a light dusting of flour even for silicone moulds. I'm not a huge fan but this works for me. The other thing I have to remember is to leave it for at least 15 mins before turning out. This is critical! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quickcluck Posted November 26, 2012 Share Posted November 26, 2012 I always use cake release spray on mine and leave them till the cake is cold before turning out... The top cooks faster than the bottom tho, so keep your eyes peeled!!! I made a chocolate case for mine from the same mould..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alis girls Posted November 26, 2012 Author Share Posted November 26, 2012 Thanks so much everyone - and CHP - if mine turns out as good as yours I will be one happy mummy!!Sadly mine want homemade cakes - except when Man U cakes (Boo hiss - leicester girl here) are asked for - i refuse to ice lots of little men playing footie - they would all look like teletubbies the way I ice. I one did a Flick b'day cake (Bugs life) - never again - still got tin somewhere. I will have a bash ( note the word bash ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickencam Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 Good luck, mine always make complicated cake requests too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alis girls Posted November 27, 2012 Author Share Posted November 27, 2012 Well the cake is cooked and cooling. Might have to do a quick trim - otherwise - impressed. I will see if OH can take a pic if it looks ok when done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
