Lemon Raspberry Cupcakes. Lemon Raspberry Cupcakes How cute are these cupcakes? They’re summery and pretty, and I smile every time I look at them. I made these lemon raspberry cupcakes for a wedding a few weeks ago and from what I heard, they were a big hit! Of course I made a few extra for Mike and I to eat (quality control!) , and we absolutely loved them. Mike could not get enough of the raspberry buttercream. I will warn you, if you make these, you will be tempted to dig into the icing with a spoon. The cupcakes themselves are slightly denser than the typical light and airy cake you might be used to.
How to: make apple-shaped cake pops. I wanted to post some detailed instructions about the apple cake pops I made when we went to the orchard a few weeks ago. That was not the first time I had made apple cake pops. Last fall I made them as my first cake pops ever, and took photos step-by-step. Instead of re-taking all the photos, I thought I would post them so you can see how much your photography can improve with a year's practice :) Start by baking a cake, letting it cool, and crumbling into a large bowl. I used white cake so the apples would be more realistic when you bit into them. Mix in 1/2 to 3/4 can of frosting until you reach moldable, "cookie dough" consistency. Shape into apples: round balls that are narrower at the bottom and have a dimple on top.
You can also pre-poke holes for your stems at this point. Flip the apples over, and poke a candy-dipped stick about halfway in. Let the candy set, then dip the whole apple into melted candy coating. Push the stick into a styrofoam block to dry. Dark Chocolate Salted Caramel Layer Cake « Lea & Jay. Dark Chocolate and Salted Caramel…What a wonderful combination!

50 Tips for Baking Better Cakes. Happy American Thanksgiving! I was sitting here planning a bunch of upcoming baking posts, when I realized that we’ve never really chatted about some of the basic steps that make for consistent baking and caking. I thought that it may be helpful to post these tips now, before we get too hot and heavy into more cake recipes. This collection of tips and tricks is made up of suggestions that happen to work for me, that I have either learned from the pros, read in books, or figured out along the way (and am still learning). I can say that implementing these steps completely changed my life as a baker, and I thought it would be fun to share. I hope that even one of these tips will help you along too. Since it’s a wordy post, I’ll get right to it, but feel free to print this list off for reference {print} Recipe Ingredients: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 1 large egg white = 37 grams, 1 large egg yolk = 20 grams. 9. 10. 11. 12. 13. 14. 15.

A lot of cake's that I have experimented with before are like a vanilla cake with bits of Oreo in them, which didn't really give them enough Oreo flavor. But these were a lot better. I used a dark chocolate fudge cake mix instead of just a regular chocolate cake mix, which went really well with the cookies and gave the cakes just a little more flavor. So, in this recipe there is Oreo's in the cake, in the frosting, and at the bottom is a Oreo surprise. Ingredients 1 package Oreo Cookies, regular size 1 package Mini Oreo Cookies, for decoration (optional) 1 package chocolate cake mix (mix according to directions on box) 8 ounces cream cheese, room temperature 1/2 cup butter (1 stick), room temperature 3 3/4 cups powdered sugar 1 teaspoon vanilla extract cupcake liners Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Notes. Coca-Cola Cupcakes. I don’t drink coca-cola. But I do eat it. Weird. Yeah, I dunno. It’s way better eaten. Let’s take a look, shall we? There’s some dark and white sugar cooked with dark dutch processed cocoa powder…and a can of coke! Your kitchen will smell all sorts of delicious. There’s some the ol’ that pouring into this and this pouring into that. There’s some mixing. Take a little PAM and spray the liners–this is a sticky cupcake batter.

Hi everyone! Happy Friday! Okay, it is just about 15 minutes until Saturday here, but I’m still going to call this a Friday blog -:0) — Let’s celebrate by making a zebra cake! In my last video tutorial, I demonstrated how to decorate a cake with zebra stripes–a very fun look for your safari, fashion or just plain funky themed cakes! Well, today I’ll show you how to continue the theme to the inside of the cake.
By the way, I did not invent the zebra cake. First, let’s talk batter– You’ll most often see chocolate and white zebra cakes (although it would be fun to try a hot pink and white zebra cake sometime!) We went the boxed cake route and bought a box of Duncan Hines Devil’s Food Cake, and a box of Duncan Hines French Vanilla. We made slight changes to the box directions: French Vanilla Cake– We used 1 cup plus 3 Tablespoons Water rather than the 1 cup that it calls for. That’s it! Let’s get started! Two bowls of batter…. Continue the process until your pans are approx 2/3 full. Hooray! Snickerdoodle Cupcakes.
