cake filling rescue....help!!!

[captainbovine]

now, I made a cake came to fill it and I don't' have any icing sugar, sooooo

I put N*tell* in a bowl with some butter and a drop of milk...uh oh, shouldn't have put the milk in, as it's split a bit. So I put in some cocoa powder but it's still looking split and a bit oily....

what can I add to take the wet look off it? and maybe stop it looking split.

I fankyou x

do you have caster sugar and a blender grind your own icing sugar.

[**towery**]

would more cocoa  help?

i would just have used  the nutella  btw, adding the butter has made it very fatty

[cookiecookuk]

or custard powder

[stroppy*cow]

might some melted chocolate help to bind it together as it sets? or some melted mars bar?

[captainbovine]

yeah, I realised that as I put in the butter and mixed it up....doh!!! what a twit am I.

Of course!!!! I have a blender...off to play and make icing sugar!

I love you guys

What is wrong with jam.  Hows about lemon curd - from Delia Smiths lemon drizzle cake or something - never made the cake but the curd is lovely.  must find the recipe - Sproglet might likt it on toast.

it's a tray bake, a chocolate one, so it was having a chock topping.

I've put it on the top now and once it's decorated no one will notice, also it may be a bit oily but the cake doesn't have a middle filling so it won't be too greasy.

looks good, I doubt it will last out the day with the gannets I work with!

just hope birthday girl likes it.

well, that cake got snorted and everyone seemed to like it....honestly, I've never seen cake disappear so quickly!!!!!!

it looked OK actually as it had dried out a bit and looked quite nice!!

Well years ago when kids had freedom I got sent over the station to meet my cousin off her train.  When I left Mum was making a victoria sandwich.  When we got back tea was served up followed by a crunchy sponge and custard.  Somebody had forgotten the sugar so cake had been broken up drenched in sugar and baked in the oven. Cousin and I still laugh about it.  Mainly because it tasted so good. LOL
