If you're looking to amaze dinner guests with an impressive dessert, soufflés are just the trick. Since height is the sign of a successful soufflé, always serve them straight out of the oven, before their tops have a chance to settle. Serve a shot glass of crème anglaise to each guest so they can pour it in after opening the soufflé with a spoon.
This light-textured, not-too-sweet icing is ideal for the rainbow cake or to match a featherlight angel food cake. Freeze any leftovers in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks and use to frost cupcakes.
With a satiny white finish, this fluffy frosting is also dairy free. Or try Cupcakes with Toasted Seven-Minute Frosting (variation below).
Yes, there are treats at the spa. Portions are modest, yet they satisfy that sweet craving. The usual 1/2 cup (125 mL) of butter in a cake like this has been reduced. Serve warm.
