Last weekend a friend received an order for a parcel cake, so I decided to share the following steps with my fellow cake lovers.

You see the cake you want, you order and pay, then you pick it up or get it delivered to you if you live locally. Simple!!.. undecided

FoodRe: Pls How Can I Make My Cake More Soft/fluffy by Rubyventures:
The secret to geting a fluffy cake is by creaming the butter and sugar together at a moderate speed. Once you get that creamy texture add the eggs gently and do not let it coagulate. Fold in the flour. Make sure you sieve your flour first to incorporate air. This will make your cake lighter.

Try this victorian recipe :
250g each sugar,butter and flour(self raising).
Four medium size eggs
1tsp vanilla
1 tsp lemon juice or milk (optional)

Jam and freshly whipped cream for the filling.

Try this method and let us know how you get on.
FamilyRe: How Do You Reconcile With Your Partner After A Shouting Session by Rubyventures: 10:21am On Sep 22, 2013
soledadd: Couples differ in ways of settling quarrels. And its better one finds a way suitable for ones spouse so that issues may not escalat. My own i think may be different. And if applied by another may not work but it has been workng for us. Initially i usually appologise, but hubby sees it as if because i find it easy to render appology it makes me to always be misbehaving then if i appologise it does'nt seem to go down well with him. Again in our case there is nothing like one partner shouting to the other, because if i shout he would shout back and if he shouts i will fire back immediately saying everything i need to say before it becomes too late. At the end we would have quarrelled. No matter what after that we give ourselves some space for one or two hours. Then we would forget everyting and start conversing again as if nothing happened. After the quarrel, from what we voiced out each person will make amendment towards the others grieviances and we move on. No appologies no regrets from any side and no one is expecting appology. Its from quarelling that we reshape our behaviours to suit ourselves.
@soledad this works for me and my other half too. You put it down exactly word for word.
FoodRe: How to make fondant icing? by Rubyventures: 1:20pm On Sep 21, 2013
@degurl your fondant streches like gum because of the CMC or tylose powder you add. I never add tylose powder to my fondant except when am making gumpaste. Like eveything else different strokes for different people. It is better to stick to what works better for you. Also climate affects fondant too. So goodluck and thanks for sharing your experience.

FoodRe: Big Size Kenwood Cake Mixer by Rubyventures: 9:31pm On Sep 20, 2013
There is a website called buyspares and thats where i buy my kenwood attachments from or you can try the kenwood site directly.
FoodRe: Big Size Kenwood Cake Mixer by Rubyventures: 5:02pm On Sep 20, 2013
degurl: Thanks Ruby. Do you have an idea of the cost?
for the one you are after, it should be from £400.00.you can convert that to naira about £100K

degurl: @ruby, how many litre/kg is yours? Now many kg of butter /sugar mixture can it cream at once?
Mine is 1.5 ltrs and I cream 750kg butter and 750kg sugar maximum but I think you will need the 2.5ltr bowl, I too am also thinking of getting just the bigger bowl 2.5ltrs.
FoodRe: Big Size Kenwood Cake Mixer by Rubyventures: 1:00pm On Sep 20, 2013
degurl: Good day everyone, please i will like some info on Ken wood cake mixer or any other reliable brand. The one i use currently to cream butter and sugar is small and doesn't rotate. I want to go for some thing bigger with rotating ability. Unfortunately shops i have been to doesn't have the type i want. The rotating one i have been seeing is too small (cant even mix upto 1kg butter/sugar).

Anyone with info on how i can get a big size mixer of 2.5kg - 4kg capacity with rotating ability should please let me know. Also i will like to know the cost.

Below are screen shots of the kind of mixer i am talking about.

Secondly is there a way to soften topper or rhoda butter before creaming (with hand in case of power outage)?

Thanks.
@ degurl my advice to you will be to get a friend to buy Kenwood in the uk and ship it down to you. Ive been using the Kenwood for years and it is very reliable. The other brand kitchen aid ive never used it but I know lot of people who do and ive been told is also a very good brand. It depends on your pocket.

Everyday is a learning curve. I've never made fondant without glycerine but I will try your recipe and let you know how it turned out.

Just in case Crisco is the same as shortening.

schendy: When it comes to fondant, u have to be very careful with recipe 'cos, u have to put d weather of where u are into consideration. If you use the internet recipe don't be surprised if ur fondant starts crying and remains wet. Well, the recipe above works for Amaka, and I assume ( I stand to b corrected tho)that she resides outside nigeria, also, if u want to use the marshmallow in fondant for a cake that u'l eat @ home and not when doing commercial purposes its aiit(I.e covering cakes for customers),but how many would u have to buy when covering a wedding cake. Ill give a recipe that's @ least to my knowledge sure proof of naija weather condition and also cheap to obtain in the market.


Recipe

1.5kg bakers choice icing sugar (I don't work 4 bakers choice, I only use it cos d fondant comes out whiter than others )

Gellatin. - 1 n half Tbs measuring spoon
Water- varies btw 50grms to 100 grms ( depends on d gellatin, there r two kinds of it)
Glucose. - 100grms
Flavour- (optional)
CMC - half Tsp (optional) add during rainy season, exclude during dry season.


Procedure
Measure gellatin and glucose in seperate bowls add water to gellatin and allow it to sponge (rest n soak), place the two bowls in a pot of boiling water and leave for 20mins, pour abt 50grms of icing sugar into a large bowl and pour the gellatin and glucose on it, mix with a spoon and keep adding d sugar lil by lil, then pour lots of sugar on a worktable and pour the content of the bowl in d middle. Knead like u would do a bread dough.when it all comes together in a ball, ur fondant is ready. N.b keep adding sugar till it forms d ball and Is a bit hard, u can put d CMC and flavour while kneading.
@ op pls try this recipe and come back to tell us how it came out.
Without Glycerine and Crisco in this recipe the fondant will be breaking up in bits and too hard.
