Cake dunce wants a silicon kugelhopf - not too expensive?

I have admitted defeat - I just can't cook cake that's not soggy in the middle. I follow recipes exactly and it just doesn't work.

So I figured one of those kugelhopfs would be a good solution - there's no middle of the cake to go soggy!
I know Tupperware sell them, but I also know how much the Tupperware ones cost, and while I don't doubt they're good, I want to know - does anyone know where I could buy a silicon kugelhopf for cheaper than a Tupperware one??

Nelle, I have seen kitchen shops that have them for lots less $$ than the tupperware ones. But thats in new south, so dont' know any shop names for down there sorry. But I like your thinking ROFL.

I've PM'd you :) And for those wondering what a kugelhopf is its also known as Bunt Cake Mould or Cake Ring Mould :)

But the average starts around $15-20 and can go up to about $50-$70

I've heard that you have to be wary of the cheap silicone ones - apparently they can have other stuff in them. Tupperware's are supposed to be 100% silicone so thats why theyre more expensive.
Then again, maybe thats just what tupperware say! :dunno:

Chef's toolbox is nice, but waaaay tooooo expensive. For what you get I could get top catering brand goods for the same price with a longer warranty.

Thanks heaps guys! So helpful!

K Rudd and I did a spot of shopping at the General Trader yesterday and I just grabbed a metal one - if that works for me then I won't need to buy a more expensive silicone one!

But seriously, thanks so much, if the metal one turns out not to be as friendly as I hoped, then I'll revisit this thread.

Honestly, if something goes wrong with my cakes now, I'm going to have to be admitted...I have never gotten a cake right since my beautiful sponge in year 10 home ec...and that was (ooer) 10 years ago! I'm sick of having to microwave cakes to sort out the middle. It's not the same.
