Swiss meringue buttercream

Posted by Bake Club on Saturday, May 23, 2020, In : big cakes 

8 is such a cool cake shape to make! Just 2 round cakes with a slice off each end and pushed together.

She couldn't resist licking the bowl.

This is a standard way to make swiss meringue buttercream. I've also read a reverse method where you cream the butter then add cooled egg white/sugar meringue. Maybe I'll try that ...

Easy vanilla cake

Posted by Bake Club on Thursday, May 25, 2017, In : big cakes 

When it comes to birthday cakes, kids usually prefer simple flavours but lots of icing - and then just eat the icing. Our daughter requested a vanilla PJ Masks cake for her 5th birthday, so this is my first foray into fondant icing. It was easier than I thought.

The white eyes are made from a mixt...
