Would this work for a cake? I'm just not sure what the cooking times/temperature would be. Really want to make this for my daughters birthday cake!

Hi Briana,
I am not sure on making this as a cake. We have only made them as cupcakes. You may be able to use the same recipe and change the timing to make the cake but we haven't tried it.Reply
