bosunjohns: Hi tpia1, I wanna know a very good dough mixer I can use for commercial cake making. I need something very rugged, durable and reliable. And how much does it cost? Where can I purchase it? Thanks.

Not sure what types of dough mixers are used in nigeria, but generally, going by brand names often helps when unsure of a product. You might have to check with professional cake makers though.


Imo, brand names like kenmore, etc which have been in the business for long, might be ok, but at the same time one should not assume newer, unknown brands wouldn't also be good. However, its just better to check with someone who knows, rather than by trial and error although never say never.


Cost and purchase: probably online or at any general merchandise store.

Nah !not funny jor. Back to the topic. Would like to know more about fundant icing.
Secondly has anyone tried baking with wheat flour instead of the common flour? Would like to know your thought. Tanks.

Haven't tried baking with wheat flour, do you mean baking a cake with it, or like bread, cookies, etc?

ebonylady4real:

Yep. National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC)

Thanks, thought they did drugs only.

ABC is known as the building blocks of language. The entire alphabet in itself is just 26 letters which don't mean anything unless they are used to form words. So XYZ is not an ending, but rather a beginning.

tpa1 would you rather be my teacher?

Nake cakes, also known as rustic or naked cakes:

You have to choose your flavors and fillings carefully.

Unlike with a traditional frosted cake, the flavors and fillings that you choose are going to determine what your cake looks like. If you’re looking for a style that’s cohesive, you’ll want to stick to flavors in a similar color profile which is something you don’t have to think about with a buttercream or fondant cake. Molly suggests, “It’s up to your personal preference, but naturally colored cakes look the best, like vanilla, carrot cake or hummingbird (a cake spiced with nutmeg and cinnamon) instead of food coloring dyed cakes like red velvet.” As far as fillings go Christina Tosi baker at Momofuku Milk Bar says, “Make sure all of your frostings and fillings make sense when eaten as a whole. Every filling should be a sliceable consistency when cold or room temperature. A layer of fondant hides a runny curd or jam or jelly layer, but there’s no hiding fillings or underset layers with a naked cake!”

If you’re thinking something simple, you can totally DIY!

If you want a simple naked cake for your bridal shower or engagement party then making it yourself is totally doable (really!). “With frosted and fondant cakes there are so many things that could go wrong and you need to have a lot of skill to pull it off,” says Alana, but that’s not the case when it comes to a naked cake, “It’s really hard to go wrong, as long as you bake your cake evenly and have good buttercream.” Momofuku hosts classes at their shops in NYC and Toronto or you can buy their cookbook and read up on how to make your own!

Naked cakes shouldn’t be stacked too far ahead of time.

Make sure to ask your cake baker how far in advance they’re going to stack your naked cake. Here’s why, “Naked cakes are exposed instead of being covered so they’re going to dry out faster,” Molly says. “24-hours before it’s going to be served is the max [time] that you’d want for a naked cake to be stacked.”

Smooth lines make the cake.

Clean smooth edges are what sets a great naked cake apart from the rest. “It doesn’t matter what cake flavor you bake, the outside edge is going to be darker than the rest of the layer. Trimming off the edge is going to bring out the color of the cake as well as make it look cleaner,”

@ tpia thanks for this thread.I made my first cake yesterday.it came our perfect except that it got burnt.though not too bad.
