Ok..for the girls that posted the pics of the cakes..thank you..I think I just gained 10 pounds looking at it!!!! They look yummy! I made one this weekend and let me tell you..OMG! I made the chocolate variation of WASC, PB cookie, and mock bettercream chocolate. I actually ran out of the mock bettercreme and yes had to use....canned frosting (gasp)! I ran out of milk at the time too or I would of made another batch of the mock bettercreme. And as for the pic of the bettercreme...I am on a personal mission to track that stuff down in this state somewhere and buy the store out. I did ask the local bakery and they looked at me like I was nuts.

Great looking cakes everyone! I am starving...rofl......I don't have a bettercreme source......can someone please post the recipe for the 'mock bettercreme'? THANK YOU.

HI everyone! I read this and TRY to read all of the cupcake thread (still trying to read what was posted b4 I found CC) Well, I too finally tried this idea. I made kakeladis *original* WASC, with a butter cake and no almond flav. And I made a choc chip cookie. I think my cookie got too thick, I used a whole pouch in a 9 in pan. I made the cake in a 10 in, so I had to double the dam. I havent cut it yet cause Im waiting till after dinner tonight to we can all see it. My hubby thought it was a great idea. Ill let ya know how it turned out!

Thanks for the great idea!!

Thanks for the great ideas! I made the chocolate cake w/peanut butter cookie and everyone loved it! The cookie was very moist, even after a few days.

Again, my pleasure Raquel!! I had so much fun coming up with recipes and stuff using Bettercreme, and was getting so many questions when I'd mention something in passing, that I thought I should kind of put it together in a better fashion! I always feel compelled to share because I glean so much knowledge here!

Macsmom,
Thank you, thank you, thank you! I didn't really know what I'd been looking for all these months. And I know I've NEVER seen the stuff! But now I can go to the store armed with that picture!

Never in a million years would I have thought to put a cookie in a cake! I can't wait to try this!!!

Melvira-- I love all the stuff you make and your roller technique. Sooooo, you wanna share your ABC recipe?

I LOVE Whimsical Bakehouse's House Buttercream. I can (and do) eat it by the spoonful. Vanilla and chocolate.

I use hi-ratio, too, and use meringue powder instead of Dream Whip.
I use vanilla coffee creamer instead of water, and a lot of salt and a ton butter flavoring so it isn't so sweet and tastes nummy.

I do it the "mad" way -- throw it all together and the beat the poop out of it

Hahaha macsmom... you must use icing-making as therapy like my mom did!

I don't know if it's as much therapy as it is that I hate having to make so many different things for one cake! "Take THAT you extra ingredient!"

HAHAHAHAHA!!! I hear ya!!

I have a question for all you great minds would it work to make a "cookie" crust similar to a graham cracker crust of a pie to use between the layers? you know graham crackers, butter and sugar baked for 8 minutes.

I was thinking of making a key lime cake adding a layer of lime curd a layer of the graham cracker crust and then a layer of either bettercreme or lime smbc. Am I crazy? Will the crust fall apart?

Thanks in advance for any wisdom you offer!

I think it would work - at least enough to give the impression you're going for with the key lime. Just bake a very thin cookie, which would require a very small of amount dough squished into the pan because it will rise.

I think that it will work just fine! That sounds sooo good! I will have to make it for my family. My grandparents lived in the keys most of their lives and grew key limes and are very into key lime pie. I bet they would love a cake like that!

What about a Chocolate Chai Cookie filling with cream cheese frosting and chocolate cake

Ohhhh my gosh, I'm SO gonna hafta try this!!!!

I added chai liquid conentrated tea to my pumpkin cake and it was great! I wonder how adding it to a sugar cookie filing would work.

Ok Girls, you ready for this I made this

1/2 cup water
2 (1-ounce) squares bittersweet or semi-sweet baking chocolate
1 cup firmly packed brown sugar
1/2 cup Butter, softened
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 cup Sour Cream
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
3 tablespoons instant chai tea latte mix*
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt


Glaze Ingredients:

1 cup powdered sugar
1 tablespoon Butter, softened
1 tablespoon instant chai tea latte mix*
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
4 to 5 teaspoons milk

Heat oven to 350°F. Grease bottoms only of 3 (5 1/2x3-inch) mini loaf pans; set aside. Combine water and baking chocolate in 1-quart saucepan. Cook over low heat, stirring occasionally, until chocolate is melted. Remove from heat; cool to room temperature.

Combine brown sugar, 1/2 cup butter, eggs and 1 teaspoon vanilla in large bowl. Beat at medium speed until creamy. Add chocolate mixture and sour cream. Continue beating until well mixed. Reduce speed to low; add all remaining bread ingredients. Beat until mixture is smooth.

Spoon batter into prepared loaf pans. Bake for 30 to 40 minutes or until toothpick inserted near center comes out clean. Cool 10 minutes. Remove from pans. Cool completely.

Combine all glaze ingredients except milk in small bowl. Beat at medium speed, adding enough milk for desired spreading consistency. Glaze cooled bread.

And let me tell you, YUMMMMMMMMMM, I am trying to figure out how to make that a cookie..ha ha ha ha ha... it says its a bread, but it tastes like a cake....


[quote]Hmmm... I'd have to taste it to really know if it was good, so why don't you go ahead and make one and drop it by? I'll get back to you as soon as I consume the whole thing in one sitting!!
