Royal Icing

Fri, 20 Feb 2004 19:59:26 -0500

One of the parents in my class brought in some sugar cookies topped with this icing. It was delicious! The recipe came from a book called Cookie Dough Fun. I just made this recipe myself, and I had to add a 2 tablespoons of milk to it - the icing was very stiff and it hardens quickly. The taste is fantastic though and it looked really pretty on the cookie. -- posted by Elmolvsu

White Buttercream Icing

Wed, 17 Mar 2004 19:59:59 -0500

I decorate cakes and this is my most requested icing. This recipe will decorate one 9x13 or smaller cake. This icing tastes the best with yellow or white cake. The creme bouquet flavoring is made by CK Products (www.ckproducts.com to find a location) and can be found at some stores that carry cake decorating supplies. If you cannot find it, substitute any clear flavoring of your choice. I got this recipe from the Wilton cake decorating courses. -- posted by Moe! Larry! Cheese!

Never-fails-me Buttercream Icing

Tue, 28 Sep 2004 20:00:04 -0400

I was so happy when I made this icing the first time because I knew that I would never need another icing recipe as long as I lived, lol. It was just so light and fluffy, and it still had a very buttery flavor even though it doesn't have any butter in it; probably because of the white chocolate. -- posted by MizEmerilLagasse

Professional Decorators' Icing

Mon, 11 Jul 2005 20:20:31 -0400

I needed an icing to use to make my daughters castle cake. While in Farmer Jack, the woman at the register ahead of me talked about how she decorates cakes. So I took that as my opportunity to ask her what recipe she uses for icing and this is what she gave me. I got lots of raving reviews. This hardens up like the cakes in meijer, etc.... and it's not too sweet. -- posted by mandikaake

This came from Good Morning America's feature on the "Cake Doctor". It was paired with some Red Velvet Cuppies, but I have a sensitivity to red food coloring. So, I posted the cuppies with a note about the food dye. I can eat it in small quantities, but otherwise....noooo thanks! I cannot wait for the holidays to get here so I can bake to the "sounds of the season" and give this stuff to some of my favorite people! -- posted by Redneck Epicurean

Decorating Icing

Thu, 03 Nov 2005 20:11:06 -0500

The powdered egg whites act as a stabilizer and allows the icing to harden. Make certain to purchase only POWDERED egg whites, powdered egg whites are available in the baking section of most major super markets. This is wonderful to decorate Christmas cookies such a gingerbread cookies, you can also pipe it through a pastry bag. Add in food colouring to create colours if desired. I have usd this recipe many times, it is wonderful for anything you want to decorate! -- posted by KITTENCAL

Chocolate Espresso Cake

Fri, 13 Apr 2007 11:55:29 -0400

I found this while looking for something else on the Nestle site. This cake is so delicious, having a coffee glaze brushed on the cake before you frost it. Speaking of frosting? It has a fabulous buttercream frosting! This is not for dedicated dieters! Note: regarding the chocolate in this recipe, you will need to use "Nestle Chocolatier 62% Cacao Bittersweet Chocolate Baking Bar). This will be for the cake and the frosting. I will refer to the chocolate by typing "Nestle chocolate baking bar." You can find this in the baking section of your supermarket. -- posted by FLUFFSTER

You can use the base of this recipe to make almond and/or vanilla buttercream frosting. The vanilla works wonderfully with most any cake flavor. The almond is highly recommended with a chocolate or devil's food cake. Note that the entire recipe makes 7 1/2 cups of frosting. I discovered this recipe in Bon Appetit, 2004. -- posted by Bev

Heavenly Vanilla Buttercream

Sat, 12 May 2007 16:51:22 -0400

The smell of powdered sugar makes me gag, so when I came up with this buttercream (loosely adapted from Alton Brown's Buttercream recipe), I knew I could never go the sickly sweet frosting route again for my cupcakes. This frosting is so fluffy and light and buttery and not too sweet. This frosting, however, does not set, so it's not good for piping flowers onto cakes, although is sturdy enough to support decorations made out of royal icing or "Crisco and powdered sugar" buttercream. If you have vanilla bean paste (you can get this at Williams Sonoma for the same price ounce for ounce as vanilla extract), use 1 teaspoon of the paste with 1 teaspoon of extract for that special, delicious effect of vanilla bean specks throughout the frosting. -- posted by jenw1041

Orange Golden Layer Cake

Wed, 27 Jun 2007 16:46:55 -0400

Oh, so good! Makes a nice birthday or special-occasion cake. I used to sift the flour, baking powder and salt together, but nowadays most commercial flour is pre-sifted so I don't bother. If you don't want grated citrus zest in your frosting (though I love it!), after allowing the orange juice in the frosting to infuse some of the flavor from the zest for 10 minutes, you can pour it through a strainer and discard the zest. -- posted by echo echo

Perfect Cream Cheese Frosting

Thu, 20 Sep 2007 10:42:35 -0400

I found this on the howtoeatacupcake blog. I haven't tried it myself but the reviews were great. Here are some tips: To have perfectly smooth cream cheese frosting with enough body to spread in dramatic swirls or even pipe through a pastry bag, you have to know these two secrets. First, overbeating breaks down the cream cheese, and produces grainy looking frosting that is too soft to hold a shape. Second, cold (not softened) cream cheese produces the best texture in both of our methods. Have the butter, if you use it, at the temperature recommended for the method you choose, and sift the powdered sugar after measuring. -- posted by TeksGlutes

German Chocolate Pound Cake

Tue, 16 Oct 2007 23:43:42 -0400

This is a great switch on dark chocolate once in awhile. You can use the glaze shown below, or just hit it with some powdered sugar. I think that the cinnamon is a welcome addition. Enjoy! I take my baking chocolate squares out of the box they come in and put them in zippered bags, but I think the name of the chocolate is "German's Sweet Chocolate." -- posted by FLUFFSTER

Whipped Coconut Cream

Mon, 29 Dec 2008 23:24:49 -0500

This is the perfect topper for waffles, soy ice cream sundaes, cupcakes, desserts, or pretty well anything else that calls for a little something extra! It uses agave nectar or Maple syrup instead of sugar, making it a little less of a sugar shock for some diabetic fols. This is a Vegan whipped cream so good, it will even please the non-vegans at the table. For this recipe, you will need to create a cold version of a double boiler. Fill a small pot about half way with cold water and ice cubes, and place a bowl on top of the pot ( you may want to do some measuring first, because you do not want the bowl to fall into the pot). This is a great way to make sure the whipped cream stays chilled while you give it a good whip! Feel free to play with it, add some spices or flavors to it to enhance the flavour of your dish. -- posted by Big Fat Vegan

Ace's Ruby Red Grapefruit and Orange Cake by Melissa Winner

Tue, 27 Jan 2009 18:45:41 -0500

Entered for safe-keeping. From Melissa Winner, Gulfport, MS, as entered in Cuisinart Stand Mixer competition, and later entered on Food Network's Ultimate Recipe Showdown as Ruby Red Grapefruit Cake. I prefer a glaze such as this on my Bundt cakes, so no refrigeration is needed, although Paula Deen likes a cream cheese frosting on hers (see Recipe #324804). This can also be made as two 9-inch layers, which would work better with the cream cheese frosting. Ms. Winner recommends serving with dreamsicle ice cream and a sprig of mint. -- posted by KateL

Favorite Vanilla Buttercream Frosting

Mon, 09 Feb 2009 01:29:49 -0500

I've tried a lot of buttercream frosting recipes and this one is the best. For decorating, I like to use the Wilton recipe, but for simple frosting, this one "takes the cake." Makes enough frosting for two 8-inch layers. -- posted by ~Patrish

Pink Lamingtons

Sat, 09 May 2009 00:48:56 -0400

Entered for safe-keeping for ZWT. From Marie Claire. This is the most popular Australian snack, a sure winner at a bake sale. And is it easy! The more traditional Lamingtons have cocoa, but dare to be different. If using cornmeal, pulverize it in a food processor to get a fine flour texture. Preparation time includes 8-hours sitting time. -- posted by KateL

Pistachio Cake With White Chocolate Buttercream

Sun, 10 May 2009 19:57:45 -0400

This recipe is fabulous! It is the kind of cake that brings WOW's from your guests! ;) I've had it for eons just never posted! The caramelized pistachio shards make the cake look & taste like it was specially baked in a high-end bakery! BH&G Magazine, published in 2002, Meredith Corp. It has an hour chilling time and an hour standing time, for which I didn't factor in the time..It has a long laundry list but you will see it all goes together quite nicely, as it has a few item repeated.;) It is truly worth it!! :) -- posted by Manami

My Favorite Lower-Fat Cream Cheese Frosting

Mon, 13 Jul 2009 15:17:24 -0400

I don't like the overly sweet cream cheese frostings out there, so this is perfect for me. I add just a small amount of lemon juice to give a more tart taste, but you would never know it was in there. No softening the cream cheese (though you do have to plan ahead with the butter). No whipping to a certain point that occurs for all of ten seconds before it's ruined. -- posted by nsomniak6

Fudgy Mocha Frosting W/Pecans--Or Hazelnut Coffee Frosting!

Tue, 25 Aug 2009 02:20:47 -0400

A quick basic cocoa frosting that isn't overly sweet -- I like it with toasted pecans! Make it mocha by adding instant coffee granules -- or leave out the pecans, and add the coffee granules, hazelnut extract and 1/2 cup hazelnut spread to make a hazelnut coffee frosting! (SEE NOTE) This frosting can be used on Recipe #285364 :) and is a great addition to Recipe #266977 :) -- posted by Kerfuffle-Upon-Wincle

Meringue Buttercream Frosting - 1st Generation

Mon, 14 Sep 2009 12:07:22 -0400

Sophmore year of highschool I jobshadowed a pastry chef, and she told me that the best icing to use for cake is meringe buttercream. So I went online, found a cute little blog that told me all the steps in detail. mmhmhmm. Makes very fluffy frosting, great for decorating! Has a great texture, but unfortunately, it's VERY fattening because of all the butter, and also it has a pretty prominent butter flavor. That's my disclaimer. But don't be discouraged! When I discovered this recipe, I never went back to regular buttercream. Anyway, I'm working on a less fattening version involving gelatin. So check back! -- posted by MandyLovesPandys

Italian Meringue Buttercream

Tue, 29 Sep 2009 11:18:52 -0400

A very versatile Buttercream. This recipe produces enough buttercream to cover three 9 inch round layer cakes. This recipe can be turned into chocolate buttercream, or spiced buttercream. You will need to have a candy thermometer, an electric stand mixer with a whisk attachment, a pastry brush and a bowl of water. This is my favorite buttercream! It's sweet, but not too rich and just the right consistency to do just about anything with it. The recipe is from my pastry arts school. -- posted by pastrygirl_5280
