In reply to Jacqui Smith. Hi Jane, are these 8 inch tins just the standard sponge tins or are they the deeper 8 inch ones, thank you

Hi Jane I am going to adapt this for a Stranger Things cake! Can I split this into 3 x 8" tins rather than try and cut the 2 cakes in half? (That makes me really nervous )

In reply to Vicky. Hiya! For this bake, you can add 1tsp baking powder for a slightly lighter sponge! Hope this helps x

I’m going to split the recipe in half to just do a 2 layered cake, but I have a 7 inch tin! How much should I reduce the recipe by? Thanks! X

Hi Jane,
I can’t wait to try, I am new to baking, my first cake was really dense, my second was better, I noticed baking powder & soda was in it.
I’m sure this cake is unreal but just in case it goes tits up I’m thinking adding a bit, would you say definitely not, go with?

Hi!
If i’m wanting to make this cake the day before i’m going to serve it…how would it best be stored overnight? I know it says it’ll keep for a few days at room temperature but should that be in an airtight container or just covered, carefully, with foil or something? Thanks!

In reply to Jacki Dunne. I like to just melt sugar in a pan as if I'm about to make dalgona ,and then just let it cool and break it as normal. Good luck with your bake!

Hi Jane, do you have a link for some clear boiled sweets please? Can’t seem to find any! Thank you

I’ve had this cake vision in my head for a month! Can’t wait to try it.
If I did whipped cream in the layers instead of buttercream, do you think the colouring would still work?

In reply to Jane.

Yes, as mentioned in the notes you just use half for a 2 layer cake – as you’d be using one tin, not two, baking time is the same. You can’t buy the shards, you make them as per the recipe! x

In reply to Hannah. I would use 2/3 of the recipe! X
