Purplelips, you motivate me. I know how to bake and I've been trying to learn how to decorate. Your decorations are lovely and to think you didn't go to a catering school, wow! I would really appreciate if you do share your buttercream and royal icing recipe here for interested persons. Much love. |

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 ![]() 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

Re: My Baking Hobby.. :D by purplelips(f): 3:22pm On Aug 02, 2016 |

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. ![]() 1 Like |

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 |

Re: My Baking Hobby.. :D by purplelips(f): 9:48am On Aug 15, 2016 |
hotmomma: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. ( ![]() (9) Allow cakes to cool in pan for 10 minutes before unmolding (removing from the pan). |

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. |
