The cake I get requests for most often is a marble. The last mix I made I thought was too "preserved" tasting. I would really like a great scratch recipe. Do you scratch bakers use a mix of a yellow and a chocolate to make a marble?

Thank you, Beckalita, for the diabetic recipes! I fix hair for a sweet elderly lady who is diabetic and I was recently thinking I needed to find some recipes so she can enjoy a little sweetness too! icon_wink.gif Thanks a million!

mkolmar and txkat: On the mimosa cake, do you HAVE to use champagne? Is there anything that can be substituted and still get a close end result? Thanks!

Yorkiemum, thanks so much for the recipe. I was wondering if you had any scratch rum cake recipes. I stay away from box cakes because (IMHO) I always pick up the "box" flavor. Maybe I can add rum extract to my regular yellow cake recipe and follow the Bacardi Rum recipe steps for adding the syrup when it's hot. What do you think?

The Mimosa cake recipe is up on another thread. To all those who PM'ed, please forgive the lack of response. My CC pages take so long to load, it would take me hours to respond one by one with the recipe.

Bon Apetit!

My DIL brought me a piece of cake a couple of days ago. She presented it to me with the request that I figure out how to make it. This place charges 300.00 for a full sheet cake of it. It was VERY good.

Well, in trying to figure out the different layers of stuff, I decided that one of the layers HAD to be a mousse with cream cheese in it.

Anyway, in my search I came across this recipe...
http://www.cdkitchen.com/recipes/recs/39/Cream-Cheese-Mousse93238.shtml


I doubled it...added 1 1/4 cup of melted white chocolate chips(measured then melted) to the cream cheese/gelatin/ps mixture....

Awesome stuff.

recipe looks as if it would be kind of tedious....but it just seems that way...3 or 4 steps to an awesome filling.

Whose cake is it ? I can probably point you in the right direction. I know pretty much every posh baker in the state.

No kidding? You're in NC?

It came from a restaurant in Troy...

Gino's...Zino's...Dino's....Beano's


She gets it all the time from there....

I didn't know if they had it shipped frozen or if they actually made it there. I know a lot of restaurants do their desserts that way.


It's a marble sheet cake...split into 3 layers...cake...white moussey stuff...cake...chocolate truffle moussey stuff...cake...chocolate ganache


my daughter had to bop me in the back of the head to get my rolled back eyes to look straight again after eating it.

I just made a basic vanilla cake today for the 4th of July cook-out, think I'll fill it with this cream cheese chocolate mousse. It sounds really good.

Is it a white cake based marble cake ? I think it may be Mad Hatters tuxedo cake, which we make for them.

hmmmmmmmmm....seemed so.

and looked as if there was some sort of white chocolate swizzle type decorations on top....

If it is one that ya'll do for them, what's the white moussey layer? Is it a cream cheese mousse? If you are unable to divulge that info, I understand. I'll have just as much fun trying to figure it out...my thighs might not agree but they'll come 'round soon enough.

Tuxedo cake is white/chocolate marble cake with alternating layers of white and dark chocolate mousse, ganache, whipped cream icing, and chocolate drizzles or curls, depending on who we we're selling it to. The drizzle is a ganache/glaze.

There was no whipped cream icing...just a nice, thin layer of chocolate ganache with some white drizzling on it.

It is an incredible dessert!

Okay...who is supplying them with this audacious dessert?

I just made the Whimsical Bakehouse's Orange Cake, and it is HEAVENLY! I made a Grand Marnier simple syrup to brush the layers, filled it with orange mousse (also WBH) and covered it with IMBC.

That orange cake is unbelievably wonderful. Of course with the zesting and juicing of oranges, the house smelled wonderful too. icon_smile.gif

Next time, I'm just going to drown the orange cake in a dark chocolate ganache. Yummmmmmm

I can't believe I just read through 15 PAGES!!!

Well at least I don't feel as if I missed anything, nor will I be repeating anything and I've already saved and printed a bunch of recipes. icon_lol.gif

My contribution to this thread will be two recipes. The first is a chocolate cake recipe from a cookbook my mother bought my grandmother back in '73 or '74. It's the McCall's New CookBook and I did find the recipe online, so here's the link for Perfect Chocolate Cake: http://www.azcakerecipes.com/perfect_chocolate_cakemccalls_recipe-2411.htm

The second recipe has become my favorite this past year. It's the Lemon Sour Cream Poppyseed recipe from The Cake Book. I've made it twice and have had rave reviews. I think I could have probably eaten a whole cake myself. I do love lemons and this was definitely delicious!

I could not find that recipe on the website, someone on another thread lead me to this one. Do you know what name it's under?
