Wedding/ fruit cake question?

[Creemteez]

Did you use the Madeira recipe I gave you?

That's so strange! I haven't tried it yet - just got all my ingredients together to give it a go this afternoon. How long does it take in your oven and how many tins do you split the mix between?

[Creemteez]

I have used the entire amount in a ten inch round and used a standard ice-cream scoop to fill muffin cases can't remember how many I got - about 18 probably.

Well, the serious bakers in my sugar paste class work on a week to decorate and a week to eat. They have several tricks up their sleeves, ( they don't like sharing!) painting the cake with flavoured sugar syrup etc to keep them moist but they make sure that the cake is sealed as soon possible after it's baked with a coating of buttercream, ganache etc to keep them fresh.
I made a 21st birthday cake last week and made it 3 days before it was eaten and that seemed long enough to me.
Perhaps there are some bakers on here that will give us some top tips?!?!!

That's all I do and I run a cake business from home. As long as you fill and ice it the same day it will keep for a week as the icing protects it almost water tight if you like.

Wow that's stunning I have been asked to create one of these but I'm scared - do you mind me asking how you created it? Mark x

You guys are fantastic! I'm still a total novice to cake decorating and have focused more on flavours. I would love to be practicing as I have a year to perfect a wedding cake for a friends daughter but my oven won't keep heat anymore! Will be months until my new kitchen is done

Ive tried it a couple of times this week. My 2 oven aga is not that good at cooking cake long and slow....
My neighbours oven worked a treat!!
To be able to cook it in my oven I had to split it into tins, tried again last night. It's lovely thanks.
The kids think its fab - you're out of luck G4, they're greedy b@ ggers in this house
