This two-tiered wedding cake is beautiful in its simplicity and classic style. Use double-sided tape to attach the ribbon ends at the back of the cake and be sure to wrap the stems of the flowers with floral tape before inserting them into the cake.
Each of these dramatic mini cakes has a truffle in the middle. As the cakes bake, the truffles melt, ready to flow at the first stab of a spoon. You can vary the liqueur in the truffle filling and accompanying Crème Anglaise for a new flavour accent.
This tender, fluffy cake can be made ahead then refrigerated or frozen until ready to be decorated.
Brilliant blue icing and a fun speckled effect make this show-stopping chocolate cake look like a robin's egg. For best results, practise your speckling technique on waxed paper before tackling the cake. The speckling can get a little messy, so protect the cake plate with strips of waxed or parchment paper.
This cake stays flavourful and moist even when baked the night before serving.
Tender cake on top of lots of warm saucy blueberries is a comforting and classic one-dish dessert.
Tall, dark and rich, this super-chocolaty cake spikes up the drama on your buffet table. A subtle hint of raspberry complements all the chocolate. Bake it, then layer together at least a day before the final assembly. Refrigerated, the finished cake can await your guests for up to two days.
If the stomach is indeed the way to a loved one's heart, then this ultra-decadent chocolate cake is sure to seal the deal. Just as easy and versatile as a cake mix— but way more moist and delicious—it's a recipe you'll want to make again and again.
