Have you tried lining the outside of the tin with newspaper? Also, adding glycerine to the mixture can make the cake more moist. Hope this helps and good luck! Zoe Dear Michelle

Glycerine helps to keep the cake moist but it is not essential. Please find a link below to Lindy's pdf document that will help with making wonky cakes. http://www.lindyscakes.co.uk/OnlineShop-DVDs.htm Good luck! Zoe Dear Sophie

And how far in advance can I fill and crumb coat the cake (planning on using white chocolate ganache)? Thanks, Michelle Hi there

I was wondering – if you use lemon curd as a filling for the madeira cake, does the cake need to be refrigerated? And how far in advance can I fill and crumb coat the cake (planning on using white chocolate ganache)?

Thanks,

My friend wants a cake for her sons first birthday but have just found out this is right when I have to help another friend prep her wedding venue 100 miles away! If I was to make a madeira and cover with buttercream then fondant how long would it be ok for? Would I need to use glycerine? I also may be using the wonky tins, how does this affect quantities? Thanks in advance, can't get a straight answer out of googl lol. Having a bit of a panic.

To store your cake, leave the lining paper on, wrap in foil or place in an airtight container for at least 12 hours before cutting to allow the cake to settle. Hope this helps! Happy Baking!
