It's easy to add wow factor to a simple layer cake using stunning ombré icing, a white chocolate drip and a crown of candy bark.
This playful cake is the perfect balance between whimsical and elegant. Once you've placed the bottom row of polka dots, you have a guideline to follow for placing the remaining dots in a diminishing pattern to the top. You can smooth out any fingerprints left on the dots using a fondant iron once they're set but haven't dried completely.
Fat trimmer: This dark moist cake does not call for the 2 eggs and 1/2 cup (125 mL) butter of a typical quick cake.
Celebrate this summer's reunion with a cake displaying your family tree. To get it to the picnic, cover it with a cake dome, or place toothpicks at 2-inch (5 cm) intervals around top edge and drape with plastic wrap, then transport it in a cooler.
For wonderful flavour, grill the chicken (see Peanutty Chicken Pitas). Serve this salad with fresh corn and peaches for dessert.
