Invent a cake


Recommended Posts

If you could invent a cake what would it be?

 

No, I'm not going for the next series of the Great British Bake Off but I do love baking and recently have been experimenting with different combinations and ideas when making fairy cakes. This weekend I make chocolate peppermint ones: chocolate sponge with mint buttercream in the middle, topped with mint water icing and a quarter of an after dinner mint.

 

A few weeks ago I made some cupcakes that had the digestive biscuit base of a cheesecake, the middle layer was the lemony bit from lemon meringue pie and the topping was the top of a Bakewell tart.

 

I'm looking for more ideas - so, what would you combine? I've got a ginger biscuit base, lemon sponge and almond thing in mind!

Humm difficult one....i have a recipe for a gin and tonic cupcake! Rhubarb and strawberry (great combination!) or something along the lines of sticky toffee pudding? If you're going to do a wimbledon one it would need pimms icing though! How about lemon and elderflower (making elderflower cordial tomorrow!)

Thank you! I'm noting lots of alcohol in the suggestions so far - should I be worried?! ;) have any of you seen the Hummingbird Bakery Cake Days book? Has recipes for strawberry daiquiri and mint mojito cupcakes!

 

I like the idea of puddings as cakes. I'm wondering about an Eton Mess cake? Like the idea of a lemon and elderflower one too - maybe using elderflower cordial as a flavouring...

 

As for tasters - yep all welcome, I don't particularly want to eat more than one (or two!) just like making them. Am happy to do photos if you really want. Sunnyday - thinking about cake doesn't usually cause problems - I always think I'm thinner than I am until I catch a glimpse of a mirror!

How do you get nice eyebrows? Any tips gratefully received.

 

Cakes: Dairy free coffee and walnut cake please. Could you do a tea time cake with scones and sandwiches type thing??? Lots of jam and summer fruit?

Definitely luck rather than judgement!

 

As for cake - coffee and walnut is a favourite, never thought about dairy free. Not quite sure what you have in mind by sandwiches in a cake? I can definitely make bread and therefore sandwiches - maybe cheese and tomato muffins?

Oh gin and tonic cupcake sounds yummy :-)
