Thank you so much bobwonderbuns!

Help help help! Making an English Toffee cake for my husband;s brithday tonight. With all the Christmas and New Year's preparations, I always leave poor hubby's cake till the last second, and though I won't actually decorate it, I do get to have fun with the flavors. So I was thiking heath bar pieces in the filling? But what kind of filling? Ganache? Coffee? Hmmm .... don't know, don't know, please help!

I made the eggnog wasc bundt using the eggnog for the liquid,nutmeg and 1/2 dram lorann eggnog flavoring and 1/2 tsp butter flavoring. moist cake, great flavor I poke holes in the cake poured a chocolate eggnog glaze on top.

My family just loved it. FELLOW CC MEMBERS THANK YOU, THIS THREAD IS GREAT.

Cranberry filling recipie (adapted from Better Homes and Gardens)

1 12oz package fresh cranberries
1 1/4 c. granulated sugar
1/4 c. cranberry juice
2 tsp finely shredded orange peel
2 tsp lemon juice
1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
1/8 tsp ground ginger
1/8 tsp ground cloves

Bring everything to a boil, reduce heat and simmer til thick (10 mins)

I paired this with White Chocolate cake....Phenomenal!

Came across this tonight while looking for somethings on the net. says it's bakeable & wondering if it would work in the cinnamon roll cake http://www.amazon.com/dp/B000I0780W/?tag=cakecentral-20

Has anyone tried LoRann Cotton Candy flavor? I was adding a confetti cake to my list and thought perhaps making it a cotton candy flavor to stand out.

sorry, haven't seen that one but sounds like a pretty cool idea

I don't feel so silly now. I am reading Ace of Cakes new book and they have 49 flavors and counting... (some of which I don't have!).

Iactually did suckers this weekend for a first birthday party...they were moon suckers to go with my goodnight moon cake...not everyone likes white chocolate so flavored it with the Lorann Cotton Candy...it was not impressive in chocolate but did flavor it somewhat..I would be anxious to try it in a pink buttercream though...let me know if anyone does...fun for a kids birthday party.

I was wondering if you can use strawberry pruee for the amount of water that the recipe calls for to make it a strawberry cake?
thanks

thanks, I thought about that too, I'm just trying to find a way to have strawberry flavor and not all the red dye in the cake

It will be strong enough - that's what I do. Especially if strawberry will be a filling flavor, too. But if you have strawberry extract, go ahead and add it for more bang. Oh, add an extra egg and use about 2 tbls less sugar.

yes, like macsmom said definitely add the extra egg and cut back on the sugar. if i don't then my cake sinks in the center

Macsmom-- for your Kahlua cake I am assuming you would substitute the chocolate milk in your choc wasc recipe for the kahlua. The mudslide mix..what is that replacing? And is the water replacing anything or it's just extra. Sorry for all the questions. I am looking at the recipes and my brain just won't function tonight.

I have been asked to do a wine themed bridal party. They requested cupcakes and wanted a pinot grigio flavored buttercream. Any suggestions?

I have done a search for a recipie but haven't found anything. I'm still learning so I am unsure how to even get the pinot flavor? should i cook the wine down to a syrup and try to use that as a flavoring?

Any suggestions are appreciated! Thanks!

I wouldn't cook the wine down but try adding it as your liquid when making your buttercream. You might have to do some experimenting. It will probably just give you a subtle taste. Try coloring the BC the same color as the wine also and sometimes just the eye appeal will fool you into tasting that flavor.

I just read a description of the flavor and it says: These thin-skinned grapes produce wines that are marked by their dryness, crispness and acidity. This combination gives the grape tremendous mouth-watering appeal. On the nose the sensations are of flowers and the palate is honey, pear and lemon.

It would be hard to accomplish a dry wine flavor in a buttercream that is sweet, I think. Otherwise try adding the honey, pear and lemon flavors. Good luck! Let us know how it turned out.

Thanks GrandmaG , I had seen a lemon pinot grigio buttercream when I googled but haven't found a recipe. I think I am going to go with the lemon and pear keynotes. I'll let you know how it goes.

sweetsbyjen, here is a cupcake recipe that uses wine:

You could try sub the muscat and use the pinot grigio instead. Maybe even do the sugar/wine syrup and add that to your buttercream recipe.

In this website, if you go down to white wines, it gives a description of both muscat and pinot gris (grigio):

Is there a WASC Snickers cake? I tried a recipe from scratch and was not happy with it. I need to make it tomorrow. Thanks

I forgot to mention that there is no filling for this particular cake. Thanks.
