Cake Decorating Tip

Cake Decorating Tip
This is a tutorial to show you how to decorate a cake that makes you look pretty clever. The beauty of this method is that you can put anything you darn well want on a cake. Your kid likes a certain team and you don't trust Stuffmart Bakery? No problemo. In this case, Gater wanted a "Dora/Princess" cake. First, bake your cake and let it cool thoroughly. Make your icing; a buttercream made with butter is best. *When you make your icing, you will want to sift the powdered sugar and mix the icing up quickly so you don't get lumps. Ice your cake. Print out a coloring page, and make sure it is the right size for the top of your cake. It is a good idea at this stage to decide how many colors you want to use in your finished design. Trim your coloring page, and tape it to the back side of a flat piece of glass. Tape a similarly-sized piece of wax paper to the front of the glass. Mix up the colors you will need for your design. Now the fun part! Now -- the magic! Voila! Related:  Breads and Cakes

Lucky Leaf Blueberry Coffee Cake I went to Camp Blogaway over the weekend, and to celebrate I baked a coffee cake! This year Luck Leaf sponsored* my trip to Camp Blogaway and asked me to create a new recipe perfect for a weekend in the mountains. Along with some fun items to give to some lucky campers – like muffin liners, pie carriers, samples of their Premium Fruit Pie Fillings, and funky retro timers – I brought this cake to share. After dinner, while we were all getting to know one another a little better, I shared slices of cake with some VERY happy campers! This cake has a rustic, homemade look, and when you slice into the cake you fine layer upon layer of moist cinnamon cake, Lucky Leaf Premium Blueberry Pie Filling, and toasty flaked almonds. So, a HUGE thank you Lucky Leaf for sending me to camp.

Fresh Strawberry Yogurt Cake Fresh Strawberry Yogurt Cake Fresh Strawberry Yogurt Cake Every time I take the kids berry picking, I think to myself, “I could totally do this. I could farm… It’s hard work, but peaceful and gratifying.” Then I imagine us buying a large piece of land and reinventing our life. This year is the first year we are going to give it a whirl–that is, be involved in a communal garden. I still like to pretend, as we’re picking berries, that I somehow had a part in cultivating them. This super moist cake is the perfect way to CELEBRATE juicy berries! To prepare Fresh Strawberry Yogurt Cake: Preheat oven to 325*. . and set aside. With an electric mixer, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.

Pumpkin Bread Recipe Like most bakers, I become a little wrapped up in pumpkin during the fall months. Some may call it obsession, but I prefer the term adoration. Yep, I adore – wholeheartedly adore – pumpkin. If I’m completely honest, I love that gourd from January through December, but I definitely get a little preoccupied with this magical orange squash throughout October and November. I’m that weird chick at the grocery store with the cart full of pumpkin cans because I totally fear another shortage. I’ll even admit it, there’s a mini pumpkin can tower hanging out on my counter right now because I ran out of room in the pantry. One of the first recipes that I make every October is Pumpkin Bread. It fills the house with the most intoxicating aroma – that I swear needs to be bottled because I’d totally wear it as a perfume – although it may be a bit odd walking around smelling like a loaf of pumpkin bread, huh? This bread has an incredible texture that remains insanely moist for days.
