Hi, you can use egg yolks to make Pastry cream/Custard and use it as a filling in your cakes.You can use it as it is or add to your buttercream filling.You can also use them to make Custard based buttercream.Its very yummy and can be used as a filling or for coating cakes.

You can use for scrambled eggs…and I freeze leftover yolks and use when I bake my cakes.

Scrambled egg is simply beaten eggs, or egg yolks with a very small amount of milk added in, salt & pepper. Place into your greased frying pan. Move them about with your spatula on medium heat, until cooked. About 4-6 min for one-two eggs. On to your plate….done. I sometimes sprinkle on some cheese…. ❤️
