My Baking Hobby.. :D by purplelips(f): 9:04pm On Jul 03, 2015
So after downloading so many online videos, I finally summoned up courage to try cake decorating and guess what.... cheesy




I got the basic tools... spatula, cake comb, piping bags, 3 nozzle tips, flower nail and a coupler. And this was what I did...the roses didn't come out well tho sad I had problems lifting it off the nail.

I took this 'wonderful' sample to class the next day and shared for my colleagues... smiley

The cake was devoured....lol. They loved the cake but not the decoration tho. Two of my lecturers also had a piece..and that's how it all started.

One of them told me she wanted me to bake her birthday cake... she wanted something small. So I came up with this... this was my second attempt.

I used a new buttercream recipe and the roses came out better than the last. cheesy This was done yesterday..

One of the doubting Thomas touched the rose and scattered it angry

.

Is there any major difference in using oven and stove?

The reason I ask is because most of the cakes I eat overseas are very ssoft(Almost like ice-cream) unlike our cakes which are harder. I prefer the harder cakes in Nigeria.

Is it because they use ovens abroad?

I know its a silly question, but I'm just curious.
Not really... at home, I bake with oven. The texture of a cake depends on the recipe. The cakes I bake aren't hard... they basically melt in the mouth. Here a picture of the cake I frosted.. I used a mixer for the creaming tho

Maybe u need to reduce the heat, don't bake at 200 degrees rather bake at 150 degrees always use a sizeable cake pan.
