Awww.... thank you.

nifdem:
Ok...thanks. pls is it just butter u added to baked cake before covering with fondant or butter icing. If it is butter icing,is it same measurement u gave above u used....thanks for ur time

yeah... buttercream... same measurement.

nifdem:
Pls do u mean butter milk shd be used instead of water/milk and pls wats the measurement we will use in mixing d milk, vinegar and water for d butter milk for a 500g flour..thanks

To make buttermilk, add 1 tablespoon of vinegar to 1 cup of full fat milk and let it stand for 10 minutes.

cynhamscakes:
Hi Purple, kudos to you. Your fondant is really neat for a first timer. The first fondant covered cake i did was like a a sacrificial cake to the gods. ...lol. that was then sha.

I saw your recipe. Your sugar though its the appropriate measurement but you can try reducing it to 400g, then replace the 1 cup of water/milk with same quantity buttermilk.

Thank you.. I owe the fondant recipe to you.

About the buttermilk part... would it still go stale quickly? I'll try it with the next cake I'm going to bake. Thank you.

nifdem:
Thanks so much

My pleasure.

spiceechic:
@purplelips .... Please tell me what measurements you used for your buttercream & fondant frosting/icing. Never tried fondant and I haven't found the right consistency for the buttercream.

For buttercream I use
200g butter/margarine
500g icing sugar
2 teaspoons of water

For fondant... I used Bece's recipe but substitute the 1/8 cup of water with 1/4cup. Here's a screenshot.

nifdem:
Pls at wat point will u add the water and do u add ur eggs at a time to ur batter....tanx

The eggs are whisked and then added the to already creamed butter and sugar mix. The water (or milk preferably if you plan on keeping the cake in the fridge or using preservatives) is added alternately with the flour...

Ewuro4:
Good job. It looks neat and professionally made. Next time place the cake under a fan to speed up the drying process.

Good job again.

Thank you.

prettyjo:
nice

Thank You.

pitipom:
Wow. You mean you didn't attend any catering school? Send me your email address pls. Im your number one fan.

Lol.... I didn't Thank you.

As if all my suffering wasn't enough... the red didn't dry, and when I wrapped up the cake it smeared all over
I had to start 'repairing' the cake.. lol

She loved the cake though...happy customer, happy me

I sha manoeuvred myself and came up with this
