Frequently Asked Questions

What cake flavours work best in novelty pans?
Firm, dense batters such as mudcake or butter cake hold the petal detail particularly well. Lighter sponge batters will also work. Just ensure the baked cake is completely cool before turning it out of the pan to avoid petal breakage.

How should I decorate the sunflower cake once baked?
Apply yellow buttercream to the petals using a palette knife or piping bag, then fill the centre with chocolate-brown or dark chocolate buttercream. You can also cover the entire cake in fondant and add texture and detail with a leaf veiner or ball tool for a more sculpted look.
