Dalek Cake Mould

This review is for an older version of this product

I wasn't sure how effective this mould would be because of all the fiddly details, but as a die-hard Doctor Who fan (and a family who are the same!) I just had to buy this! I found the recipe (8-egg choc cake) on the product detail page, and gave it a go. I've never baked more than a 4-egg cake before so I was very apprehensive, but I used spray oil on the inside to grease the mould and it came out perfectly! I've read that it makes a good jelly mould too, so I'm intending to try that out for my son's birthday party. Pic: http://tinypic.com/r/120o28x/8

Use it for the first time, baked my daughter's birthday cake - it is Brilliant - The trick to getting the cakee out is to turn the mould upside down while cooling and let it drop out

Used the Dalek mould for the 1st time yesterday, was a bit unsure about the amount of mixture to use so i went for a 10 egg madeira was a little left over but wasnt to worried about that will still use the same measurements next time, It took just over 1.5 hrs to cook but i like to cook low and slow 150c, left it to cool in the mould and it popped right out this morning :-) I decided to cover mine in fondant turned out pretty well if i do say so myself bit fiddly at times but i didnt let it beat me. I would recommend this product just make sure you put the pan on a tray for stability :-)

I have just used this mould for my grandson, s birthday, I was totally happy with the way it cake out of the mould best one ever. I used cake release before I put the mixture in and it can out wonderful.....

Bought this to make a birthday cake but after reading reviews about the cake cooking unevenly i got scared so I got creative. The result? A giant Dalek chocolate Rice Krispie cake! The mould took 4x a "normal" Rice Krispie recipe to fill but by separating out 1/4 of the mix and crushing the Rice Krispies into a powder and using this for the first layer of the fill all the detail of the mould came out perfectly ready for decorating. 2 cans of edible gold shimmer spray, some black fondant icing and a couple of dolly mixtures later the result was one perfect, delicious Dalek.
