I have just been making Patrick's birthday cake for the party tomorrow and came up with an easy way of making even sized cupcakes or muffins without the mess - an ice cream scoop! It holds the perfect amount to fill a muffin or cupcake tray, and the mixture slides off easily allowing you to make all the cakes the same size! I hate the fiddlyness (is that a word???) of using two spoons, and trying to get the same amount in each tin without it dripping, but the scoop worked really well!
I have made a rectangle party cake in a baking dish, and eight cupcakes for the top - hopefully to resemble a Lego brick - simple, yet relevant to Paddy's major interest at the moment (and preferable to making a Wii cake!!!).
Lauren's cake is going to be a masterpiece - fortunately I am not the master piecing it together! That's all I'll say, but hopefully there will be photos of both here tomorrow! If not, the Cheesecake Shop is just down the road!!!
