Not always mademoiselle, I for one, I'm a homely guy.
Inviting bae home gives me a closer look at her character, a closer look which cinemas or eateries would never afford.

If you say so bro but we both know that you'd be hoping to get some.

Thanks purplelips, hope my questions won't be too much of a bother, do u recommend any good n affordable mixer? Also, can pot and stove/gas be used to bake temporally till I get a oven considering present financial situation. Thanks dear.

Ermm....you can get a Kenwood product or Masterchef. I use Breville though. And Yes, you can use a pot. Check the link for details www.dobbyssignature.com/2012/12/how-to-bake-without-oven.html?m=1

Purplelips, reading back, all i can say is youre amazing, not attending any baking school n ure this good, please i want to try to achieve this. Wanna learn to bake for just home purposes first, please, what equipment do i need for now to buy? First cake recipe i should try out too. Also mixers would be important to me cos i don't like manually mixing butter n sugar, lazy me. Please mentor me on this

Thank you.

Since it's just for baking, not much equipments are needed. You'll need:
i) Electric mixer
ii) Baking pans
iii) Oven
iv) Mixing bowls
v) Measuring scale or cups

You can try this Vanilla Cake recipe:

Ingredients
500g butter/margarine
400g or 2 cups of sugar
10 large eggs
500g or 4 cups of flour (sifted)
1tablespoon baking powder
1tbsp vanilla extract
1 cup of milk

Procedure
(1) Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
(2) Grease the sides of the baking pan with butter and then dust with flour. This prevents the cake from sticking to the pan.
(3) In a large bowl, mix the flour and baking powder together.
(4) In the bowl of your electric mixer, beat the butter until creamy. Add sugar and continue mixing at medium speed until light and fluffy.
(5) Scrape sides of bowl with a spatula and add eggs one at a time, mixing after each addition.
(6) Next, add vanilla extract and mix until combined.
(7) Finally add flour mixture and milk to batter in 5 additions (flour, milk, flour, milk, flour) mixing after each addition. Do not over mix batter.
( cool

Pour batter into prepared cake pans and bake in preheated oven for 40 to 45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the middle of the cakes comes out clean.
(9) Allow cakes to cool in pan for 10 minutes before unmolding (removing from the pan).

Buttercream/Butter Icing Recipe

Ingredients:
500g of confectioners/icing sugar
125g of butter/margarine
2 tablespoons of milk or water
1 teaspoon of vanilla flavoring (or any flavouring of choice)

Direction:
1) Cream room temperature butter with a hand mixer or a wooden spoon until smooth and fluffy. Gradually beat in confectioners' sugar until fully incorporated. Beat in vanilla extract.
2) Pour in milk and beat for an additional 3-4 minutes. Add food coloring, if using, and beat for thirty seconds until smooth or until desired color is reached.

**Personally, I juts add everything together and mix till I get the consistency I want. You can use an electric mixer if you have one. But I prefer using my hands. cheesy

Hi Guys, so sorry I've been off. Final year in school hasn't been at all easy. From one posting to another, project, care study and exams. Thank God it's almost over...less than 4 months to go cheesy

Now that I'm less busy, I've decided to grant to request of those who want to learn cake decorating. I'm still a learner too but I'd love to share a few things I've learnt. Here are pictures of some of the few equipment I've gathered...still got a lot more to purchase..

1) Gel colours
2) Flavorings (artificial)
3) Cake combs (metal ones) & Plastic scraper

Her opinion. This is one of the reasons I don't believe in friendship with opposite sex. Any relationship beyond religious,academic or professional one between a man and a woman is Yimu . Its like a friendship between a lion and an antelope

Hmmm.....this got me thinking.

Much love.

Nice cakes you've got there. Is it possible to interview you on your caking journey? Tried PMing you some days ago but not got a response yet.

Kindly respond to this and I will get back to you ASAP.

Thanks

Hello Readers,

Been peeping into this section for a while and I'm really wowed by the writing skills possessed by writers on this forum.

Anyway, I have a story that has been lingering in my mind for over 2 years and I'm motivated to write. I'm not much of a writer though. I have a diary here on Nland that I left un-updated and I hope I won't do the same to this eventually.

I've titled this 'White Roses'. Please, I'm pleading in advance, kindly pardon all grammatical and typographical errors. I no too know book.

Thank you.
