The forecast (Blogtoberfest day 23)

Nordicware castle tin

A ridge of pressure has been gradually moving in today, with a period of very high activity expected by tomorrow morning. A local alert has been issued for rising panic and possible strong exasperation.

The long range outlook is for calmer conditions and a 3rd birthday cake in the shape of a castle.

  5. Oh. My. I can raise my eyebrows from high on my pedestal (only because I don't have to worry about another birthday cake till mid March) Meanwhile I will wallow in denial.
    (Can't wait to see it! How cool)

  6. Those tins are heavy, huh? We have the caterpillar on and despite all the fiddly edges the cake came out brilliantly. There is a lot to be said for old-fashioned metal over groovey modern silicone.


    (but obviously not on the boobage front! ;-)

  12. Oh my goodness - you really are going to make a castle cake! How on earth do you get it to cook evenly when it's such a strange shape?
    I can't wait to see how it turns out.

  14. For anyone who likes the look of this cake tin, the brand is "Nordicware". Its a very solid 10 cup bundt pan, made from non-stick cast iron. When you follow the instructions, the cake just drops out of the pan with all the detail. Its amazing!

    Nordicware also do an array of other fantastic shapes.

    I received mine as a gift, but I know they are readily available in stores and online. The Nordicware website gives both retailers and distributors.

    If you are in Australia, this online store is very reasonable for prices
