quickcluck Posted October 11, 2013 Share Posted October 11, 2013 Does anyone know if these can be open in the oven??? I'm thinking of trying to make a cone shaped christmas cake! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redbug Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 I have only seen used to be assembled with choux (On cooking shows). Don't know much more about them. But they do look amazing when completed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lavenders_Blue Posted October 13, 2013 Share Posted October 13, 2013 I'm not sure a croquembouche mould would be oven-proof, as they are designed to be used for the assembly of the cooked choux buns. I suppose you could always check before you buy one, but I'm not confident they would be suitable to go in an oven. I also wonder how evenly a cone-shaped cake would cook - wouldn't the pointy end cook much quicker than the wide end? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quickcluck Posted October 13, 2013 Author Share Posted October 13, 2013 I had a reply from Lakeland and they say Noooooooooooooo never mind, will think of other ideas! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs Webmuppet Posted October 13, 2013 Share Posted October 13, 2013 How about stacking various shaped cakes on top of each other and do a bit of carving. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peachachecha Posted October 13, 2013 Share Posted October 13, 2013 you could make one 9 inch layer, one 8 inch layer, two 6 inch layers and a cup cake. Use 2 cake recipes or 2 cake mixes. It would take very little carving to shape it down to a cone shape. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quickcluck Posted October 14, 2013 Author Share Posted October 14, 2013 Hmmmmm good idea! I might think about a scaled down version as would work out too expensive in fruit cake.... but no reason I can't do a smaller one. Won't be easy to ice tho! lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
