Chocolate Teacake Mould

first time using the tea cake mould and it was perfect, lovely smooth, perfect tea cakes. I did cheat however!! I used marshmallow fluff to fill and chocolate digestives for the base- a perfect fit-my only comment would be that they are too big, a meal in itself really. A smaller size would be better.

I was bought this for my birthday in October and as other reviews I had no intention whatsoever to use the recipe included! The chocolate comes out of the moulds perfect every time! I pile in the Marshmallow fluff and pop on a chocolate digestive as these are the perfect size. No mess, no fuss, no hassle! (Regular digestive too large!) To date I have made just short of 200 for birthdays, school Christmas fairs ( Christmas puddings a blob of white icing on the top with holly and berries - fabulous) All gone down a treat every time. Pleased to hear I can bake cakes in it too!! Love it!

Lined the shells with tempered chocolate for a shinny finish. Then I made I made up a jelly and soaked some Genoese sponge and let it cool.i had previously made some confectioners custard. Piped the custard into the chocolate moulds, followed by the cooled sponge and fruit jelly mix, topped off with a biscuit from the recipe. Finally more chocolate to seal. Leaving the whole to chill before turning them out. Finished them off with a swirl of creme chantilly for a special tea time treat.

This mould is great for making small spherical cakes with (bauble cakes). Also excellent for drying large sugarcraft flowers in. Excellent multi-use mould.

I had some vouchers to use and thought I'd give the teacake mould a try. It is alot of effort and it takes time but I've really enjoyed myself and the results are delicious. Instead of putting chocolate on the tops of the biscuits I used squeezy jam which was delish!
