Hi Nicola, What height cake tins did you use? Mine are standard 2" but yours look a lot taller? Thanks :)

Maybe just make sure you have a taller paper collar!

For wedding cakes I love this recipe from Jane Hornby on Good Food - https://www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/simple-elegance-wedding-cake the vanilla cake recipe is a nice sturdy base but delicious and keeps well. I use it time and time again!

Hey Imy, HOW EXCITING!!! When is it? I have a few questions...

1) How many people is it for?

2) How long does it need to sit out? / What time will it be eaten / What time will you be delivering

3) Is there somewhere to store it or will it be stored at room temp? This is why weather is important too

4) What is your transport situ?

Happy to also go through this with you in more detail in email but those questions will help decide what sort of cake / what recipe to go for!

Hi Nicola! I love baking from Kitchen Projects and usually have quite a lot of success but so much went wrong for me with this one - the walnut infused cream split before soft peaks formed, and after leaving the buttercream out at room temp for a couple hours I tried to re-whip it but lots of liquid escaped and it never reconstituted. Any help with where I went wrong would be really appreciated! Thank you ☺️

Hi. Looks like a fantastic cake. One question, After being so careful to fold in the butter and not knock out all the air incorporated, wouldn’t dropping the tins from 20-30cm have an adverse effect on air in the batter?

Hi! I love your newsletter. I always learn something from it, so I like to take down some notes. I noticed both this and the Lemon Butter Ricotta Cake one were numbered 58, not sure if that was intentional.
