Apple blossoms in baby colors !
Apple blossoms are very simple to make, work very well as elegant filler flowers in an icing flower bouquet, but I love them the most when they sit in happy clusters of their own!! Enjoy your weekend. * This is one of the first few cakes i decorated, made for a baby shower alomst one and a half years ago.
Hi Archana... it's almost 4am where I am and sitting up with daughter's low blood sugar while she eats. I'm trying not to eat. Here I come browsing and look at this beautiful creation... now how will I get back to sleep without a sweet! ;)

Vaayum polichirinnittu ippozha sound vannathu!! Gurukale,oru samshayam,ee AP flour,plain flour,self raising flour,ivayil yethanu sharikkum cake undakkan best?BTW hw r these different,any idea?Yellam saada gothambu alley?
ReplyDeleteHi this is rg. Your cake looks awesome. I'm sure it tastes great too. What a pretty decoration on it ....I just kept on staring at it for several hours now... it's that wonderful...How did u manage to make such beautiful flowers without any mess? do u add colors to the icing?I wish I could decorate the same way(let alone decorating, I wish I knew to bake a cake from scratch)....You've a very good talent and I guess you've lot of patience too...Very very good, Archana.
ReplyDeleteDoc,
ReplyDeleteFor baking cakes, the best results are obtained with " cake flour", which is a low gluten wheat flour( Lower the gluten, softer the cake). If you can't find cake flour, use " Pastry flour" which has a slightly higher gluten content than CF, but it is still very good. AP flour has intermediate gluten levels, so that is made to fit all different kinds of food preps, you can make a decent cake with it too. Self raising flour is premixed with baking powder ( usually 1 cup flour + 11/2 tsp bp). Use this flour if the recipe calls for it. Most of the time recipes call for different proportions between flour and bp, so it is good to have just the flour without any added leavening agents. Atleast in the US terminology, AP flour and Plain flour are the same. When you are making bread, use a high gluten flour like bread flour. You can make decent breads with AP flour too. Hope this helps Shynee. Gothambinte oroo maya vilasangale.... Nattil nammude Maida kondu ellam cheyyan pattum ennanu ente abhiprayam.
RG,
Thank you for visiting Spicyana, and spending time to write these encouraging lines. I am so happy that you liked the cakes. Please do come back. I add food grade gel colors ( Wilton or Cakeart) for coloring buttercream. If you are interested in cake decoration, you can enquire about Wilton classes in a hobby store near you.
Archana - this picture looks truly amazing. I can't get away from the picture... I can't stop looking...

ReplyDeleteHi Archana,
ReplyDeleteur really a talented girl .cakes are awesome .
recently i joined wilton classes
can u please tell me how to smooth the cake after icing . here is my email id: lvk_206@yahoo.co.in
i would be really grateful if u could send me any tips for smoothening the surface of the cake .
Hi Archana,
ReplyDeleteYour cakes look truly amazing!!! I can't imagine how anyone can bring themselves to eat these works of art. I've never ever baked a cake but if I could bake one which looked even 1/10th as good as yours I would be really excited.
Hi , those apple blossoms are royal icing ones or buttercream can u respond to this . lovely cakes
ReplyDeleteHi Anonymous,
ReplyDeleteThese flowers are made of buttercream. I freeze the flowers soon after making , so that i can freely and effortlessly transfer them on to a cake.
