PARTY CAKE – FLAVOURS AND COLOURS

Marble Cake

In previous posts I went trough some basic recipies for a Swiss Roll and Victoria Sponge. The next step is to outline how you can add a little flavour or colour to the basic recipies.  Don’t forget you will need to add the flavours to the cake mix before it is baked.

Vanilla :  Never seems like a big deal but 1/2 teaspoon will make a difference

Chocolate : 1 tablespoon of cocoa powder can be added to the flour

Orange : I X teaspoon grated rind and juice from 1/2 orange can be mixed with the butter

Lemon : I X teaspoon grated rind and juice from 1/2 lemon can be mixed with the butter

Marble : A few drops of pink colouring and 1 dessertspoon of chocolate powder.  The above ingredients can be used to make a marble cake, full of colour and excitment! Divide the prepared sponge equally  between three bowls, then colour one pink, one chocolate and leave one plain. Fill the cake tin you are using to bake the cake in from the three bowls. To get a good mix put the mixture into the tin one spoon at a time from alternative batches. Then give it a good swirl before baking.

Children are fasinated by marble cakes and you can make up all sorts of stories as to how you did it.

At the end of all my posts I remind readers that we specialise in pre filled party bags for all ages. Don’t forget they are not just for children. Hen parties are also perfect for giving out party bags. Let your imagination run riot.
