Bday cake

I really look forward to the birthdays of my boys, as it gives me a great opportunity to bake a cake and decorate it to my heart’s content. So this time, when J’s birthday was approaching, I took time out to deliberately choose the cake and the icing. If you remember, last time I had prepared the chocolate cake covered with chocolate ganache and decorated with chocolate roses. So, this time I decided to deviate from the chocolaty stuff and make Vanilla Pound Cake with Whipped Cream Icing instead. (more…)

Cake Pops

Posted in All Recipes, Bakes, Cake Decorations, Cakes, Desserts, Snacks, tagged , , , , , , , , on November 25, 2012 | Leave a Comment »

Cake pops are such cute little treats to look at!! They come in various colours and designs. While making the cupcakes for the blog anniversary, I had made up my mind to make some cake pops as well and so had kept aside some cake and buttercream frosting. Making cake pops are pretty easy but the trouble starts when you start with the chocolate coating. I knew that that this could be a messy affair and so had kept my work station organised. Moreover I had two little helping hands of my son D. Just didn’t realise how time went by. D was giving his suggestions and I enjoyed the whole process more than ever. (more…)

Coconut Cupcakes

Posted in All Recipes, Bakes, Cake Decorations, Cakes, Desserts, Muffins, tagged , , , , on November 22, 2012 | 2 Comments »

Today, this blog completes one year. How time flies!!! My mind was preoccupied with the thoughts of my Dad’s surgery that I completely lost track of it. A reminder from wordpress put me back on track…Being the first anniversary, I had to make something special. The first thought was to make Pina Colada cake, which I had baked some time back. A relook at the recipe and I decided to change to Coconut Cupcakes with Pineapple Buttercream Frosting. The reason for this decision was the non availability of pineapple in my pantry. Running to the grocery store was the last thing on my mind…:-) So much for laziness…:-P (more…)

Buttercream Frosting/ Icing is a type of icing or filling, used inside cakes, as a coating, and as decoration. In its simplest form, it is made by creaming butter with powdered sugar, although other fats can be used, such as margarine or lard. Colorings and flavorings are often added, such as chocolate, fruit purees or various extract. Buttercream is a common and popular topping for cupcakes, sponge cakes, butter cakes and other desserts.

Stabilized Whipped Cream Icing

Posted in All Recipes, Cake Decorations, Eggless Cooking/Baking, Quick to Make Recipes, tagged , , , , on March 4, 2012 | 32 Comments »

I prefer whipped cream icing on my cakes as it has good consistency and is easy to work with. During my initial years, I always found it difficult to work with whipped cream, as it would turn runny after some time. Determined to solve this problem, I did some research and I realised that the problem was not with me after all. The cream will always run down unless you stabilise it.

Lately my favourite show on TV is ‘Choccywoccydoodah’. The way they sculpt beautiful creations on chocolates is just mindblowing. Such amazing talent!!! Truly inspiring!! I was so inspired that I decided to try out my moulding skills by making chocolate roses to decorate J’s birthday cake.
