Dress up a Sheet Cake: White on White Wedding Cake

Image
I've been thinking about all the things that have been cancelled because of Covid19 and I think the saddest is the weddings. So much expense, planning, excitement... gone. Now, I know most of you who had to reschedule your wedding will eventually have them. But I don't know how much money you would have lost because of the cancellation of your first planned wedding. So, I thought some of you might need to save money on your future wedding. So, I thought I would share with you a way you could make your own wedding cake out of a regular, plain sheet cake. I started out with a frosted sheet cake. You can frost it yourself or buy it frosted.  Then I thought I would use all of these tips, but I only ended up using the small round tip and the medium star tip. The petal tip and leaf tip weren't needed for this design.  Using a skewer, I traced two interlocking hearts as well as the monograms of the couple.

Dairy-Free Swiss Meringue Buttercream

After going through the effort of making my vanilla cake gluten free, dairy free and soy free, I needed a dairy free frosting. American buttercream is easy to make dairy free. But the family I'm making the cake for prefers Swiss meringue buttercream. I googled how to make dairy free Swiss meringue buttercream, and basically every blog I found said that it wasn't possible. They all said you have to use butter. I am not willing to accept that answer. So, I decided to experiment a bit until I found a ratio that works. So, first off, here's the recipe: Dairy-free Swiss Meringue Buttercream: 7 egg whites 2 cups sugar 1 1/2 cups dairy-free margarine 1/2 cup shortening pinch of salt 1 tsp vanilla extract or 1 tbsp vanilla sugar 1 tsp butter vanilla flavoring (optional, if omitting, double amount of vanilla flavoring)  I'm using a stand mixer today with a whisk attachment.  I first whisk the egg whites, sugar and vanilla sugar, if using vanilla sugar. Then I h...

Recipe: Homemade Fig Newtons from Fresh Figs

Image
 Funny story: when I was pregnant with my second child I craved fruit in all shapes and sizes really badly. I really wanted fig newtons at one point, and guess what you can't find anywhere in Germany? You guessed it. Fig newtons. So, when the opportunity arose, I knew I had to try to make them myself from scratch.  Fig Newtons: For the Fig Jam: 500g (about 8) fresh figs 1/2 cup (100g) brown sugar 1/4 tsp salt 1 tsp vanilla extract or 1 tbsp vanilla sugar 1 tbsp lemon juice For the shortbread crust: 1 1/2 cups (190g) flour 1/2 cup (60g) powdered sugar 2/3 cup (170g) butter 1/2 tsp vanilla extract or 1/2 tbsp vanilla sugar 1/4 tsp salt Start out making the fig jam. Cut the tips off the figs and quarter them.  Put them into a small saucepan. Add the brown sugar, salt, vanilla and lemon juice.  Stir well.  Heat over medium heat until mixture comes to a boil. Then reduce heat to low and simmer the figs, stirring occasionally for 45 minutes to an hour.  The outsi...
