Birthday Cake

Well I have had an interesting week.  I managed to throw away a whole cake and waste a lot of product.  But that was ok because I learned a valuable lesson.  I changed the recipe a little to much. Baking is exact!! It is a science therefore everything must be done in balance.

The difference between a Cake and Cupcakes is Density.  A cake is less dense moist.  It melts in your mouth. A cupcake has the same effect however, it is a little heavier.  Don't get me wrong you still want your cupcake as light and moist as a cake hence why you can use the same recipe to make cupcakes as cake.  Notice how I wrote that. A purely cupcake recipe must be carefully adjusted in terms of moist factor if you are to use your favorite cupcake recipe ie..Tiramasu, Champagne, Orange Dream yada yada.  Yes, these"typical cupcake" recipes can also be made into cake but just be careful of density.

My point i all this is I made my favorite cupcake recipe using buttermilk and eggs which is how I change a lot of my recipes to get a denser cake for my cupcakes well anyway the cake was a mess, it sunk was battery, overdone etc. So I started from scratch and remembered I was making a cake not cupcakes and the consistency of the batter matters!!

Decorations are cute but Taste is Everything!!!
