I have just received a pirate ship cake case for my sons birthday. Any tips from bakers out there and how to work out how much mixture to make to fill the case??

One solution would be to fill it with water and pour this into your regular cake form. This should give you an idea of how much cake mix to use.

I hope you will post a picture of the finished product, I dont think Ive seen a pirate cake before.

Yup, this is exactly what I would do.

Just found this site and thought it might be useful to you. I'm no good at "cups"... I can do pounds and ounces or grams and kilos easily but no idea what a "cup" is

What about just making a double mixture (or a recipe you know is big) pour in what you need for the pirate cake, then use the remaining batter to make a reward for yourelf . I have a small cake form (a teddybear shape from my Mum in law) for exactly that purpose.

one cup is 8 fluid oz or about 240mL. HTH. (in US 2 cups make a pint but as you can see this is short of an imperial pint... ooh, now I want a beer but it's a bit early in the morning... )

These molds can be a bit tricky as I found out. A good dose of non stick spray helps..I have a castle one that I use for my daughters birthday, dont know if it is the same company I got my castle from but the recipie I got with the castle was rubbish, the whole thing overflowed and the cake itself wasnt that nice. In the end, and much experimentation I found a white chocolate mud cake recipie that worked a treat. I found it worked better if you put the mold on a baking tray as well, seems to stop excessive browning. Best advice if you havent used these silicone molds is to make a trail run before hand and make the final one the night before..save you a lot of tears.

If you are talking about fluids then the calculation for cups into metric is:

1 cup x 0.24

example: 3 cups water = 0.72 liter or 720ml

And here's a conversion table from cups, sticks, ounces, fahrenheit etc to metric - on my blog .

Feel free to ask if you need a translation, but the figures should be clear.
