Hi,

So my favorite frosting is basically Cool Whip + pudding because it's super easy and actually tastes good. No pipe-ability whatsoever. I was wondering if I added confectioner's sugar to this to stiffen it up, a) would that actually work? b) would it taste bad? Obviously it will be much sweeter but I'm hoping it would still taste okay. TIA! :)

I was my sister's 21st party last night. This is the first time I've made Giant cupcakes =)

A couple weeks ago I made cupcakes for a charity bake sale, proceeds benefitting my friend's mom's animal sanctuary.

My oldest friend asked for zodiac signs cupcakes for her birthday, but as I only made a batch of six cupcakes I could not include all twelve signs. So I just went with only her own one:

I am making cupcakes for a very small baby shower. Any ideas? I'm not going to do a lot of decorating, but I do want something other than regular old cake and buttercream. Any ideas?

Post from mobile portal m.livejournal.com

so I NEED to make these. this is a request from a friend who is moving away and I really want to make them for her going away party. I found a recipe for guinness cupcakes with baileys frosting.. all it needs is some jameson to make it a carbomb! so what do you cupcake genisises think? should I add some to the cake itself or the frosting? I'm thinking if added to the frosting it might be REALLY boozy frosting... which isn't nessicarly a bad thing. I've included the recipe under the cut if you wanna gander at it to get your best professional opinions :]

Thanks so much to those of you who responded to my post last month asking for decorating suggestions. I had a GREAT time exploring the possibilities of marzipan, and wanted to post some photos of my success!

( Have a look-see! )
My only problem with marzipan is that when I painted it, rather than dyeing it, the food coloring wouldn't dry. This was particularly a problem with the records; people's mouths got rather blackened from eating them. Any suggestions on how to avoid that problem? I'm not too concerned with most colors, but the black really just wouldn't have come out right without painting it on!

Hey bakers, wanted to pass this one on. I was in IKEA today and I scored this cake decorating kit for $4.99



Includes: Decoration comb (5x5"), cake divider (length 12", height 4"), 2 pastry bags and 6 piping tubes.

Total deal!

I checked the tags for this and even looked online but couldn't find anything that really was cotton candy favored. So my question is this;

If I use white cake mix and added like a Go-Gurt Cool Cotton Candy yogurt into the mix would that do anything to cake? Would it still rise? Would the taste still be there? What about if adding a Go-Gurt to the icing?

Any answers would be awesome thanks!
