Here is my Guinness WASC Recipe, I made this for St. Patricks Day, but now that I see Macsmom's recipe for Baileys cake, I may try making both cakes and alternate layers of cake, for a different version of the Irish Car Bomb!

Guinness WASC

2 chocolate cake mixes
2 cups flour
2 cups sugar
1 1/2 tsp. salt
8 eggs
2 2/3 cup guinness, pour it into a bowl before hand to get rid of bubbles
4 tbsp. oil
2 cup sour cream
3 tsp. vanilla

Enjoy!

Chickie Those look so awesome. I'll bet they were delicious.

I cant believe this thread I just spent about 3 hrs reading is absolutely amazing and full of information,
MacsMom you are amazing ! Thank you for sharing your flavor enhanced brain with us.
I found this because I am in search of a delicious apple cake, not as dense as if it was apple bread but good enough to stack a 4 tier cake Wondering what would you guys do I want it to be gourmet

Thanks!

My goodness!!! I am truly amazed at the generosity of all the people at CC. Going to potlucks, church functions, and other events, I've seen people guard their recipes as if they were top secret or classified. And here, at CC, members are truly willing to share what I can only imagine must have taken years of practice to master. So, to all, THANK YOU VERY, VERY MUCH!!! I'm very much an amateur. Maybe some day I'll be able to contribute and add to your wisdom. Again, thank you!

Macsmom - I have to thank you again!! I made your rainbowlicious cake for my daughters 4th birthday yesterday and people couldn't stop talking about it...in fact all the parents had a piece too and that NEVER happens! As a result, I have no leftovers for me!

Next on my list......well, I don't know! But I have another b-day cake to make for the family party in 2 weeks, so I need to decide quick

I haven't been getting emails and somehow my "watch this topic" flag got flipped.

I saw a question about a Red Velvet WASC recipe and I posted MacsMom's recipe from this thread. There are several questions about the quantity of batter that the recipe produces. MacsMom ... or anyone ... can you jump in and help them out? Here is the link:

I have made Macmoms pineapple cake with white chocolate truffle filling-it was out of this world. Now, I need a banana cream or mousse recipe, can someone help? I am going to make the nilla wafer cake and want to fill with banana cream and ice with white chocolate buttercreme.
I am somewhat of an amateur but I have learned so much from this forum. I bow in amazement to you guys!!!

Macsmom,

What about using Mudslide mixer for the liquid in the Bailey's cake?

Also wanted to let you know that if you have Save-A-Lot in your area, I found Strawberry Nectar there.

So it took me awhile, but I finally tried out the samples I received in the mail. The first cake I tried was a coconut cake with toasted coconut frosting. Absolutely wonderful!!! The second cake was a chocolate hazelnut with hazelnut frappuchino frosting. Not the greatest. I tried the whimiscal bakehouse frosting recipe and didn't love that either. It has a very greasy texture and is similar to eating straight crisco. Has anyone had this experience, or did I do something wrong??? I ended up mixing more of the amoretti toasted coconut compund into the basic whimisical frost and it tastes pretty good with a light flavor, but still has greasy texture. I tried Macsmom's chocolate truffle filling and mixed in the amoretti hazelnut ganache. it tasted great, but I didn't have enough to fill all the cupcakes I had made. I ended up mixing in the whimisical bakehouse into that too.

I noticed with the amoretti products, the end result is has a much more oil-like/greasy texture too. I ended up using quite a bit of their product to get a good result. Both cakes ended up very moist, light and fluffy.

Thanks again to all of you who have posted great recipes and I will forever be trying all of them out!!! Thanks again macsmom!

Macsmom thank you so much for the Irish Cream Cake recipe. Today I found a Irish Creme creamer (International Delight) can this be use instead of the vanilla creamer. Do you think it will give the cake a strong flavor using the creamer and the liqueur? what kind of frosting do you use for this cake?

holy cow...it's 12:23 in the morning and I finally got to page 90. I too have not been getting reply notices, so I definately clicked on the "watch topic" once again. This is the 3rd time it's happening.

Macsmom, today I came up with a flavor list. Crazy flavors, not my usual stuff. I emailed it to a girl who wants a winnie the poo cake for her son's 1st birthday.
She called me back and complained that she didn't know which one to pick. Se proceeded in ordering the usual boring stuff and I had convinced her to order your rainbowlicious recipe.
People get scared when they see all the different flavors.

Still I am feeling a bit more empowered with my crazy flavor list. Like a baker who knows her craft. I want to thank you for giving me the insight to venture out of my bubble.

Oh, I was checking Kmart for different cake mixes & turned around to see all the TGI Friday's mixers---they had a mudslide one too. Must say my mouth was watering thinking about it.

ambolil, you're not off on the WBH buttercream. My dh says the exact same thing. i'll save you the time & tell you meringue buttercreams are the same. But if you'll add more flavor than the recipe calls for or different flavors (not butter it doesn't go well) then that'll help the flavor too. I like it personally, but to each their own. To use it up, cause it makes a ton, mix it w/ 1/2 of your regular buttercream & use it as fillings for cakes. it helps cut the sweetness & if you have a sweet rich powdered sugar based buttercream a lighter filling helps.

Has anyone put a filling in WASC cupcakes?

I made some yesterday and was worried they might be too dense for a filling?

This morning I had to try them again to see if the refrigeration changed the texture of the frosting, etc. They were actually pretty good. The consistency of the icing changed quite a bit. The coconut frosting was the one that had the worst texture and after it set up and I had dunked the cupcakes in toasted coconut, you can't tell at all. I will have to take my earlier opinion back. I do agree and can very well see that when added to another frosting, it will make it lighter and less sweet. Good to know!

Thanks again

Good morning!! Just wondering if anyone could help me...I know it's a dumb question, but I need a strawberry jam/strawberry filling recipe that is shelf-stable and not "creamy or moussey". (Bettercreme is out.) I mainly use fillings which require refrigeration, but this will not have refrigeration available. (Cake is being picked up the day before the party.) I very rarely use fruit fillings and I dislike sleeved fillings. Strawberry jam mixed with bc is just too sugary sweet. Strawberries, sugar, and cornstarch? Thanks for your help!

someone here on CC gave a great tip on what she does for fruit fillings. She uses a regular size jar of jam or preserves and mixed in a package of jello that corresponds with that flavor!!! It was a great idea and now that is pretty much all I do. It is shelf stable and it a nice thick consistency so doesn't ooze!!!

get at least a 16oz jar of jam or preserves flavor of your liking. I scoop mine into a bowl and then microwave it for about a minute.. slightly warm. Then I mix in a small box of jello of the flavor that I want. Mix until dissolved.. then back in the jar it goes and in the fridg until I need it. Then I just barely heat it up so that it spreads easy.

Wonderful Wonderful WOnderful....... did I say wonderful!!! And easy!!

I wish I could give cuddo's to the person from CC who shared this great tip

Macsmom...

My customer wants a chocolate mint truffle filling. I don't know if you had a recipe or if I found it somewhere else.

I was thinking using your truffle recipe but using chocolate mint chocolate chips. Does that sound like it will work??

yayuh! I wrote to Amoretti yesterday and got called today!! I will DEFINATLY be ordering from them. The customer service was really nice and I'll be getting samples too.
