Tips for Perfectly Shaped Cupcakes👇
🧁Fill your cupcake liners to about 2/3 full. Use a batter dispenser for thin cake batter (like #funkybattercake ) or an ice-cream scoop (3tbsp) for thicker batter.
🧁 I bake my cupcakes at 350F/180C. Placing the cupcake pans in the middle of the oven really works. The bake time varies according to the recipe.
🧁 To avoid soggy bottoms, remove cupcakes from the pan while still warm and place on a wire rack to cool.

Cake Pan Release Recipe👇 (an age old recipe being used by bakers for almost a century) have you tried it yet? ♥️
Mix equal parts in volume of Shortening, Vegetable oil and flour (I used cocoa powder for my Chocolate Cake)
Use a Blender to emulsify it.
Wait till the cake cools completely and it’ll slip right out! It’s like Magic 🪄
Can be stored at room temperature for upto 3 months or refrigerated for 6 months.
You can use butter instead of shortening (the cake pan release will need to be refrigerated)

For everyone who hasn’t been exposed to this number system, it’s called the Indian Numeral system to express large numbers. The term is lakh or 1,00,000 (one hundred thousand, written as 100,000 in the Western system)
I’ve lived in India for most of my life and moved to Canada only a few years ago…the Indian Numeric system is ingrained in me 😅😅😅
Where do you live? And did you know about this number system?
Do you sketch a cake and follow it to the T, or do you like to go with the flow?
My Easy Wafer Paper fabric…let’s make leather tassles 🤠
🤎Mix Brown Gel Color with Glycerine and vodka. I used a cosmetic sponge to paint the wafer paper.
🤎Dust the wafer paper with Cocoa Powder.
🤎 Make strips from the wafer paper and use a sharp pair of scissors to make the tassles
🤎Use a handheld steamer to manipulate the edible fabric.

VINTAGE COLORS IN BUTTERCREAM
To give your buttercream colors a vintage look use brown and white:
🎥 Start with your base color, whether it’s a pastel shade or a more vibrant hue. Ensure it’s evenly mixed into your buttercream.
🎥Gradually add a small amount of brown food coloring to your base color. This will tone down the brightness and give it a muted, vintage appearance. Mix thoroughly and add more brown as needed, but do so in tiny increments to avoid over-darkening the color.
🎥 Incorporate a small amount of white food coloring to soften the color further. This step is crucial for achieving a faded, antique look. Again, mix thoroughly and add more white as needed until you achieve the desired vintage effect.

We’ve been told Ganache is easier to work with in the summer…but let’s be honest, not everyone likes chocolate in their frosting and ganache can get expensive…Specially with the chocolate price spike…has it affected you yet?

Top Tips for Successful Cake Stencilling 👇
💙Chill your cake well before stencilling. I like to chill my cake in the refrigerator overnight. If you’re pressed for time, use the freezer. #funkybattercream only needs about 10mins in the freezer!
💙The consistency of your Buttercream is very important…it should be thick enough not to run but smooth enough to spread evenly.
💙 Apply a thin and even coat of buttercream
on the stencil using an offset spatula.
💙 Scrape off the excess buttercream gently with a tall scraper.
💙 Don’t press down the stencil on the cake too hard, otherwise you’ll end up peeling off your cake along with the stencil!
💙 Once you’ve applied the frosting, carefully lift the stencil straight up to avoid smudging the design.
💙 Smooth the top edge of the cake to remove any excess buttercream.
💙Refrigerate again till the buttercream sets.
Always Practice the technique on a flat surface or piece of parchment paper before applying it to the cake. This helps you get a feel for the right amount of pressure and frosting consistency.
