My mom made epic buttercream icing...but the stuff that most grocery store type cakes ice their cakes with is simply non edible...imo. (tastes 'oily' to me...)
However, I remember ordering a really expensive cake from a highly acclaimed bakery for my dad's 80 birthday (cost over $100 as I recall) and the buttercream icing was just that...a thick layer of sweetly favored butter. I was so embarrassed that I had to serve to his guests...It's funny now though
sorry...that traditional wedding cake fondant icing is pretty damn gross too...actually the whole thing is yucky imo
gosh...picky, picky
:laugh: it's yummy.. especially the hard little fondant flowers.. Wedding cakes seem to be all mudcake these days. I haven't had proper old fashioned wedding cake in years.0 -

Back in the "olden" days wedding cakes were a rich dark fruitcake topped with a marzipan layer and then royal icing then decorated with little flowers for example that are pretty much hard sugar..
Feeling nostalgic.. you'd often get a little paper envelope with a slice of cake to take home..

What?! The icing is the best part! I wish you were in my family, I'd trade you icing for cake! I took Wilton cake decorating classes and made cakes every week with buttercream icing to take in and learn to decorate. I never got tired of all that icing!2 -

I bet your homemade icing was/is totally yummy. I would love to take cake decorating classes...except I'd want to eat it all!2 -
Tea loaf. Preferably made with Earl Grey. The crunchy sugar on top is a must.

I love all the pictures and ideas... How do you pop popcorn on the stove? My air popcorn broke after probably 15-20 years and I need to get a new one but in the meantime... ? Thank you...0 -

Super easy, but more calories and more clean-up. Put a little bit of high temperature oil in your pot. I use sunflower. Add three kernels of popcorn. Turn heat to high. Measure the amount of popcorn you want to pop. When the first one or three kernels pop, add the rest. Now you'll want to pay attention. Shake the pan to keep the kernels moving, and you can turn the heat down. Lift the lid little if it's not vented to let out the steam. Steam will make the popcorn tough. If you can keep the steam out, pan-popped corn can be much more tender than air popped in my opinion. As the popping slows, you can put a little butter on top to melt.
When popping is really about done, transfer to a large bowl. Add your favorite salt, brewer's yeast, cayenne, garlic powder, or whatever. Someone told me to add the tiniest amount, like an eighth teaspoon, of sugar. I thought that was nuts, but tried it once with just salt and it was actually pretty good.
Eat.
Then you have to wash everything.
If you have a mircowave, yeah, you can use that instead. I ain't got one of them.

Chocolate babka, all day every day. I shudder to think about the calorie count, and I'd absolutely eat the whole loaf.

Interesting!
I am always surprised when a wedding cake is anything other than white cake with white icing. Any kind, any color decorations0 -
A big honkin' piece of German chocolate cake.4

On the topic of popcorn, try different kinds! I like in order blue, red, white, then yellow. The flavors have a nutty quality to them and more flavor. I'll buy white at the grocery store. My preferred way of making is with oil, kernels, butter. When it's done take some more butter and brown it in the pot, then pour over popcorn. I usually just add salt but any seasoning would be good! I haven't had this in awhile, now I want popcorn and not air popped!1

It's cold and foggy and autumnal out there, and that means beef stew with dumplings!
...except not, because I'm a vegetarian, darnit.6 -

Much easier to make it in the microwave. Much much easier.
I will try it, thank you!0 -
