Caramel Sauce

I love the sauces that is served with the ice creams and the list is topped with caramel sauce. Did I know that it is so easy to make at home? No I did not as I did buy a readymade caramel sauce from the super market and licked it in the ice creams we ate at home.. Then I wanted to try this sauce at home and thought it would be so hard, but I was so wrong. This one is so simple and can be stored easily and used when needed. You need very few ingredients and I am not sure why I did not try this before. Enjoy your ice creams, shakes, cakes, pancakes and waffles with this delicious sauce.. Indulge!!

Vegan Fondant–with stepwise pictures

Fondant is a product I got introduced in the last few years. I was so intimidated by it when I first saw and now I am more comfortable and love using it. Have you ever wondered at the pictures of tiered wedding cakes which look more like a photo and less like a cake and also the beautiful beads and decorations on them?? Looks awesome and so professionally done.. I have used store bought Fondant in the past and this time I tried my hands on home made one. I got this recipe from Veena who was sweet enough to share her recipe. It is very simple to do.. Hard part is finding the ingredients.. From ifoodtv – “History of Fondant  - Usage of fondant is traced back to 15th century, where people decorated their cakes with paste made from a mixture of sugar and almonds. Another earlier version was made with egg white, rosewater, lemon juice, and gum paste. Fondant, in early times, was mostly used in candies. It came to be used as an icing in the 20th century. In recent years, using rolled fondant has become a popular practice in cake decoration.” There are two types of Fondant – rolled fondant and poured fondant. This is rolled fondant.

Eggless Cake Pops

I made chocolate cake for my daughter's birthday and wanted to make the cake pops with the left over cake crumbs or cake pieces.. My daughter loved it and it was an instant hit and I had fun playing with various designs. This was one of the choices chosen by Pallavi for this month’s Home Bakers Challenge. You can play around with the designs and sprinkles. This also makes a great kid time to allow them to play and decorate their cake pops.. My daughter thoroughly enjoyed it..

How many times I have admired the cake decorations in the bakery, pictures in magazines.. They look so appetizing and appealing that I would not want to cut the cake!!

Then I learnt this very simple frosting recipe and now this is what I recommend to everybody.. If you are not great at getting smooth icing, then this cake will be so ideal for you as the icing is very obedient and it listens a lot to you... This recipe will cover and frost one 9 inch round cake. I decorated my chocolate cake with this ganache frosting and we loved it.. It was picture perfect too…
