Favourite Things Cake - Finished!

It came together really well in the end! :o)

Spidey was climbing out of a hole, just in front of the cake. I couldn't get him climbing the side of it... his legs kept breaking! LOL!!

Customer was really pleased when she collected it. I sent her a message today to ask if she's got an email address (so I could send a link to the cake on my website) and when she replied she said "Cake was amazing. Everyone loved the cake!"


Currently got an 8" round choc cake and a 6" heart vanilla cake in the oven. I rather filled the tins a bit more than usual, plus the extra pinch of baking powder in the choc cake... they're MONSTERS!! LOL!!! Huge. Really deep!


I want to order some new cake tins. I want the range of heart shape tins (5" - 12" inclusive.. except the 10", which I already have), plus the 3 sizes of rectangular tins. I can't believe how expensive they are!!!! Not sure if I'm going to order them. Will have to think about that one. I wonder if people take into account that sort of expense, when they order cakes. I've got round and square tins from 4"-13" inclusive. They cost a fortune. Plus all the equipment I've got for the decoration of cakes. All this sort of thing has to be factored in. So it's not JUST butter, sugar, eggs and flour that you're paying for. It's all the equipment, too. And the electricity to bake the cakes (I like to cook them for a longer time on a low heat... I just prefer the results that way). And then my time to decorate them. And the cake board and the box... and foil for when I wrap the cakes overnight before they're decorated. And sillicone baking parchment to line the tins. And all the other bits and bobs I've probably forgotten. It all adds up.
