Hey Jane could I freeze this sponge to use a week later?

Thanks

Used the piñata cake recipe with this decor for my grandson’s 4th birthday cake – he requested a rainbow cake! Really happy with the results!

In reply to Katy. What brand of colours did you use? It will likely be this that's the problem x

My son wanted a pink and blue cake for his 2nd birthday so I’ve made this recipe but just pink and blue. I used the exact same blue colouring as you but when mixed with the cake batter it turned green! How did you get the cake to be blue?! The pink also wasn’t strong enough. Not made the buttercream yet and so disappointed it’s not going to be what he wants!

Hi Jane, if I wanted to make a smaller cake but still 6 layers so possibly 6” tins how much do I need to cut the recipe by?

Thanks

In reply to Chloe. Hiya - these are relatively thin cakes and need to be as you are stacking 6 sponges in one go! x

Hi Jane how thick does your cake turn out (prior to halving it)? Mine seems flattish and my srf is in date. Not sure if using a springform tin which then domed up have affected the rise

Hi Jane!
I made this once before and it was insane!!
I’d like to make it again for a friends birthday but it needs to be dairy free… (eggs are fine)
Do you have any specific recommendations for dairy free butter/spread and will the icing hold as well on the outside?
Thanks so much! Literally every recipe of yours always turns out amazing!

In reply to Grace Blackwell.

Hi Jane,

I would like to make this recipe with 3 layers but 6 inch. Can I use the same amount of buttercream you have posted or will that be too much? (I am using 300 g of ingredients with 5 eggs.)
Thank you

In reply to Jade. Hiya! Without this, the ganache will be more of a yellow because of the white chocolate, so its really up to you! Hope this helps! x

Hi Jane. How important is the white food colouring for the ganache? The one you recommend is unavailable right now. Thank you x
