Replacing eggs on your baking

If you have someone with egg allergies that you cook for often, then you would have heard about doing this. You can definitely use banana, applesauce, pureed apricot or even soft tofu to replace an egg. Use 1 very ripe banana smashed or 1/4 cup of applesauce for 1 egg. Banana has a stronger flavor, and you may taste it so be sure the flavor of your baked goods go well with it. I would use applesauce over bananas. Also add an extra 1/2 tsp baking powder to the recipe to help with rising.

cake paste...?

Cake paste???? Well cake paste is what you make when doing cake pops..cake leftovers and butter cream. When making this cake paste make sure it is not to wet or too dry...then you can use it like clay and shape it for things like tails, heads, legs..and you let it dry a bit and cover with icing and or fondant. I love using it for shaping legs and tails etc.. It sticks well to other cake parts or for building up parts of your cake...

Want a moist cake every time?

Want a moist cake every time?
Add a box of instant pudding to your mix or recipe!
Bake at a lower oven temp for longer time.
Simple sugar...equal part hot water/white sugar. Mix until surgar disolves. Let Cool and brush cake.
You can also flavor the simple sugar with just about anything as well.. Liquor is most common. Like Kahlua, Chambord etc... Don't use Liquor when children will be eating said cake.

Butter cream icing too Sweet?

If your butter cream is too sweet...add a pinch of salt. That is all you have to do..and it is less sweet tasting...

baking

When ever I am baking a cake cupcakes etc...I ALWAYS bake at 320...it takes longer but your cake bakes more evenly with less of a crown(raised middle)..It makes leveling your cakes much easier.
