Make FAST Alphabet Blocks

75 days ago by Fernanda Abarca | 10 comments »

Hi all !!! Here is a quick little tutorial on an easy and fast way to make Alphabet ( or any other type) of blocks. It’s fast and you don’t have to worry about things drying and you save on fondant. Be sure to use shortening for glue and NOT vodka. As any water or vodka dissolves the sugar cubes completely. The font is so hard to see because I put this together on my iphone. So here are the instructions in case you can’t read it. 1. Buy some sugar cubes in the s...

Vintage Easter Basket

61 days ago by Bobbie | 0 comments »

It was wonderful having Sydney baking and decorating with me this past week, however I admit saying goodbye has become harder as she visits more often. I began realizing our relationship will be a series of visits and goodbyes. She loves living in D.C. and will probably go to graduate school at George Washington University. I am happy to see her become a self assured adult able to live on her own, but I would be lying to myself if I didn’t also… Royal Icing Recip egg whites 907 g...

Sugarveil

108 days ago by bootifulcakes | 6 comments »

I used sugarveil for the first time last weekend. I found it quite easy to do. Fix mix as per the instructions. I left this to sit for about 1/2 hour and then i was eager to use it. Lay your mat on a flat board as it will be easier to move to leave it somewhere to dry. When you are ready give the sugarveil a bit of a stir as it goes sort of “marshmallowy” once its been sitting. Scoop a bit out onto your mat using a spatula, then using the spatula (i found this ea...

Light and Fluffy Vanilla Cake

161 days ago by veenaartofcakes | 4 comments »

The recipe is very easy to make and the reason I call it light and fluffy is because the beaten stiff egg whites adds enough air that the cake is so soft, it almost melts in your mouth. Makes Two x 9 inch round cakes each 2 inch tall or One 9×11 inch sheet cake. Ingredients 400 grams / 4 cups – cake flour 325 grams / 1 1/2 cup – fine granulated white sugar 280 grams / 1 1/2 cup – unsalted Butter or 250 grams / 1 1/4 cup veg Shortening 5 l...

Vanilla Custard Filling

342 days ago by smokwa | 11 comments »

This recipe was the sweet treat that my mom used to fill cream puffs with. When I started making cakes, I tried using it as a filling and it was a hit with my husband and family, so I’ve been using it for that purpose ever since. It is not overly sweet and when paired with a white or vanilla cake it gives just the right balance of smooth vanilla flavor. You may replace the vanilla with almond extract as well to suite your need. I have also sliced fresh strawberries and layered them into...
