Baking sandcastles

Some time ago a dear friend of mine gave me a fantastic Bundt castle cake pan! I picked it myself when we went shopping for my 'having helped with the wedding' present. I already baked a cake in it two weeks ago, but then I didn't use enough dough. This time I got it right, but the structure of the cake is a bit weak, causing it to crack. Next time I know how to make this thing work perfectly, but for now I'm enjoying my second imperfect attempt...
My friend's wedding took place last September and I had the honor of being her witness. It was a lovely sunny day and both the ceremony and celebration took place at the beach. This is what I wore, trying to look both appropriate and like my normal self at the same time:

Purple dress: bought in Paris
Black mesh hat: bought in Paris
Clutch bag: don't remember
Shoes: Calandschoen, Amsterdam

  1. I have that same bundt pan! I have trouble with the tops of the turrets sticking. :) But I love it just the same. They also have a cathedral one that is very fun.

    You look fabulous and perfectly wedding-appropriate. Very tasteful, yet still dark and elegant.

  2. How funny that you have the same bundt pan! :) I've never seen it anywhere before, but that's probably because we don't have such a big 'baking culture' as in the US or the UK. Dutch baking pans tend to be really boring.
    Wow, a cathedral? I should check that one out!
    Thanks for the outfit compliments! I spent a long time looking all over Paris (during summer vacation) for the perfect dress...pff, it was exhausting. But I really loved what I found in the end. :) It had to live up to so many requirements, a real challenge!
    I posted a review of The Woman In Black by the way. ;)

  3. Oh, I almost forgot: if you use a baking spray on the pan instead of regular butter or oil, you won't have the sticking problem that much. Perhaps that helps!
