yes definately post it up. Ive had 3 'friends of friends' email me since putting photos on facebook, asking me to make a cake for them so think I may actually be able to make some money out of it. Obviously I dont expect to make millions but me and OH are hoping to get married in 2012 so need to start saving some pennies up!

I would love to see your ballerina cake.

You make great creations

I really need some good cake mix recipes for cakes and cupcakes, as i can decorate them well as i love art but dont seem to have the recipes right.
Any help please?
Thank you

If I do it I dont expect to be overloaded with cake orders, just the odd one here and there, but would be nice for it all to be official. I did say then about maybe selling some cakes at carboots and fetes and things. I cant really do novelty cakes like you do all that well but my cupcakes arent too bad really!
I've just put my form in for doing things officially bit scared of what they will say as my house is what you might call a 'family home' but having seen how some cafes operate (ie small cluttered kitchens etc) I think they will be more interested in seeing you follow good practice, and I am meticulous about handwashing, my fridge arrangement (!), cleanliness and clearance of surfaces etc etc. Fingers crossed it isn't too harrowing...

You have to be registered to do any kind of food making which involves consumption by the public, which I take to mean, people you don't know. It just protects you if there is a problem. Clearly, loads of people aren't registered ie school fetes etc etc so they can't expect to be too strict.

I tend to use the Hummingbird recipes for cupcakes. When all the ingredients are in, I don't mix for as long as the book says. I just mix til it is combined with no massive lumps. (I think if you mix as long as they say the raising agent will have peaked before you get it in the oven.) I also put a pan of hot water in the oven to increase the steam to keep the cakes moister. I have taken to doing this with cupcakes now as well. Before I was worried it might affect the cases, but it doesn't seem to.

I use madeira cake for large decorated cakes.
