I have a customer asking for Crown Royal filling. I have never made anything like that before. Does anyone have any ideas on how to do this? They want a vanilla/ butter type cake. I don't even know what CR tastes like! TIA!!

You and my DH. The only problem with that is he would drink it all before I could get it in the mix. LOL Wouldn't that make for a potent BC

only about 3-5 TBS of liquid in a batch of BC....

doubt it would be all that potent...and the alcohol would gradually evaporate over time leaving the taste.

3-5 Tbs of CR is enough to do it to me. I'm a light weight when it comes to whiskey! icon_lol.gif

Go to the liquor store and buy one of those tiny bottles. It is small enough to fit in your pocket or purse until the time comes to use it. They only cost 2-3 dollars. Beats buying a whole bottle, which sometimes never gets used otherwise.

I am thinking about possibly subbing SOME of it into the BC. I am actually using the whipped BC reciep for this cake. It might actually be really good. Maybe I should go ahead and get it and taste it to see.
Anybody know the cost of a bottle? Isn't there small bottles I could get so that I don't have to get a big one?

isn't Crown royal a top shelf whiskey? My best pal's hubby loves the stuff. Too strong for my liking. Usually it's taken straight since it's high quality but have heard of folks mixing it with coke. thre are recipes for whiskey cakes out there - most either have whiskey backed in the cake or soaked with a whiskey flavored syrup. I did find an Alabama Lane cake that has a liquor flvored filling:

This particular client drinks Crown and gingerale. I am the "bartender" where I work and that is his fav drink, but I have honestly never really paid attention to what it really is!!! It's a mid shelf drink, not like Godiva or anything.

Ok, I looked it up.. It's whiskey.

Okay, I'm a woman on a mission.

I've been trying to find a recipe for a cake filling with whiskey and I think I've found one. It's a frosting recipe to go with a cake recipe. Here's the link: http://www.cooks.com/rec/doc/0,1915,145171-242206,00.html

What about making more of like a glaze or simple syrup? And then just use regualr frosting to fill it?

In school, we flavored our simple syrups with all types of booze (LOL!!), so I would be more tempted to use it with a simple syrup and brush it on the cake than I would be to use it in BC (honestly, that kind of sounds gross to me, but I wouldn't drink CR with anything sweet either).

I would just use the regular simple syrup, and add some CR until you can taste it, then brush it on the cake.

JMO.

So, should I put a thin layer of BC over the SS?

Do you guys know if it'd be against the law to eat this if you're a minor or serve it to minors? icon_rolleyes.gif

No it wouldn't be. If it is made as a simple syrup the alcohol would be cooked out of it. I am selling it to someone who is of age and if there is any trouble with HIM serving it to a minor, that would be his problem.

However, in this case, the alcohol is cooked out anyway.

strawberry0121, I don't know if this would work because I never made a cake with pop. But I have heard that you could replace all the wet ingredients of a cake mix and add a can of pop. Since the client likes his CR with gingerale, why don't you incorporate that too. Just a thought I wanted to share. Good luck.

I might do that. I just wonder if it will be moist enough.

I have never had CR, why wouldn't you have it wilth anything sweet?
