Drop either 1/2 or 1 full tub of frosting on the bottom of pan, prepare cake as indicated on pkg, fill the flute with the batter and microwave for 12-18 min. depending on microwave. I used 1 full tub of frosting and it seemed like alot so maybe use less. I hope that helps.

THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!!!
And when its done, do you put the rest on top if you only use half?
Is there any frosting in the middle when it come out?

one more pointer... Make sure you grease your pan! When you turn it out the frosting will drip down the sides, you shouldn't need to add any more

This was the first micro cake I ever made. No one knew it wasn't baked and loved it.

I have made other micro cakes, but this one works best for me. Other cakes with regular frosting, just do not turn out as well.

Speaking of this type of cake...

I did a show tonight and used dark chocolate cake with dark chocolate frosting. Then, to dress it up, I used a pint of raspberries on top. Looked so pretty, and everyone LOVED it.

Pretty darn tasty, if I do say so myself.

Maybe that's my problem. I need to dress up my cakes after nuking them!

Micro Cakes & Chocolate Ganache & ideaHere is an attachment of micro cakes - change info to you.

Remember to oil that fluted pan! If you haven't done it before, [as I tell my customers], treat it the way you would new cast iron:
-preheat oven to 200
-take about 1/4 cup Crisco or Lard or Bacon Fat or other food Grease
-take about 4 tablespoons of SALT
-mix together in your fluted pan - be sure to pay special attention to the center cone and to the bottom of the pan - places it is most likely to stick.
-Pop into oven for 25 minutes.
-Remove and cool about 15 minutes
-Smear mixture around after cooling
-Return to oven for another 25 mintues
-Remove and cool again...turn oven OFF
-When cool enough to touch, remove as much as you can with paper towel - pitch out. Run HOT water in your sink, rinse/scrape away any remaining goo - remember to leave a thin film of oil on the pan.

Return pan to the box (that's where I keep mine, on a shelf) and remove to use when you're ready. Oil with a spritzer (or baker's secret...Pam with Flour) and you're good to go.

Those consultants picky about not using PAM are correct, on a new unseasoned pan, it will create sticky residue. On a pan prepared as I have described, it is Awesome Amazing Astounding Absolutely fine.

I bring a Cooling Rack and Flour Sugar Shaker when I'm doing anything baked - show them how to sprinkle powdered sugar on top through the rack, leaves a cool grid design on the baked item & plate.

You can always top something chocolate with chocolate ganache - awesome, awesome recipe from NatConf 2005, also attached. Goes well with any berries

Happy Valentine's Day everyone (and 14th anniversary to me!) God Bless You!

Is this the fluted store you are talking about? Just want to make sure I am understanding correctly...

 

[scottcooks]

Yes - though, I once forgot a fluted stone, and used a food prep bowl turned upside down inside a large deep dish baker - it worked GREAT! (used about 2/3 the cake batter) still had the cone in the middle of the cake.

so...what purpose does the salt serve?Just curious...Ann

Briliant!! I need to try this, I haven't gotten the courage up to spend the $$ for the fluted stone just for the micro cakes! I will go home tonight to try the DDB/Prep bowl cake
