What is cake: Definition and 200 Discussions

I have a Death by Chocolate show that I'm doing tomorrow.... I've never done a chocolate show before, but I've started offering theme shows to increase bookings, and the chocolate show does get a good response. I'm making the Turtle Fudge Skillet Cake (hoping for March cookware bookings), and...

Has anyone done the lava cake in the fluted pan? I have a host's microwave who won't fit the DCB but usually the fluted pan isn't a problem. I figured I would still feature the stoneware this way.

The cake I made in the Grill Pan worked. YAY!! I did add the frosting on top before it baked. So when I flipped it onto a plate it was not firm on the bottom, which is now the top. I am thinking it is because of the frosting that is all over the cake. Tonight or tomorrow I am going to...

I have never done a lava cake in the rice cooker... how long do you cook it for? Whole can of frosting? Cake mix ingredients like it says on the box? How long do you let it set when its done Mwaving?

Sooo... did I mess up promising a turtle fudge skillet cake for a party tonight? I saw "family skillet" and thought "I have that!" but now I'm thinking... should it be done in nonstick? I have stainless steel. I had planned to test this over the weekend, but was so sick I couldn't. My husband...

I just made a MLC in my DCB and there is a ton left over (it was a trial run for 3 people just to use my DCB for the first time). I want to know how to store it now that there is so much. Does this need to be refrigerated (I figure it does, but want to be sure). Also does it heat up well?

I'm making the Lemon Pucker Cake from the Simply Sweet Cookbook tomorrow. The first step says to use dry bread crumbs to line the pan. Is there a good substitute if I don't have bread crumbs? I have 100% whole wheat bread I could put in the food processor if I need to but wanted to check...

Do I need to grease my DCB before making a cake in it? I've not used it a great deal so it's not seasoned well yet and I want to make one for an event this weekend. Thanks! Marci

I have a host who's mom wants a German chocolate ice cream cake for her birthday. Do any of you have any ideas for something German Chocolate? A trifle or something would be great as I want to do it as a demo. Thank you!

I am doing my first vendor event this Sunday. At first my thought was to make a cake, and serve it in my booth, am I shooting myself in the foot by trying to do something like that. The event is at a restaurant, and cake was the only thing they told me I could serve. But I am just wondering...

Does anyone have the recipe to make a cake in the Batter Bowl? I have a customer that is looking for one. Thanks. Tina

Has anyone ever done a dump cake in the DCB with good success? If so, do you have a good recipe? Recipe must not have any eggs. Thanks for your help! :)

I have a customer who would like two of these, but I would be interested if you only have one too! Thanks!

Has anyone done the Molten Lava Cake in the batter bowl in the oven? I have a guest last night that used to make it a lot in her microwave but now doesn't use a microwave anymore and wants to know if it can be made in the oven. I've never tried...

I have a host who is expecting 30+ people to her show on Wed. She requested the molten Lava Cake. I have only ever made it for about 15 people and that usually finished it. Can I make it twice in the same DCB (without cleaning in between)? Or does anyone have a suggestion on how to make it...

One of my guests asked if you could make the Molten Lava Cake in the rice cooker using gluten free cake mix. I didn't know if the consistency would be different, so I didn't want to chance making it at the party she was at. I told her I would toss the question out here on this forum, and see...

Does anyone have a Pink High Heel Cake Server still in the box they would be willing to sell? I'll pay full price and shipping, of course. I have a customer who placed an order this month and ordered it, and I let her because I thought I had an extra one... but of course I don't. TIA!

Can you make it in the oven? My host's microwave is too small. She wants me to make a dessert in the DCB though. Any suggestions if it doesnt work?

I have a recipe for a dump cake. I'm using Spice and Apple Filling. The recipe says to put 1/2 the cake mix in the DCB. I just want to be sure that "cake MIX" means you are not making the batter as the box says and then putting it in the DCB. Does anyone know? Thanks! Shari

I've never made this before and my host for tomorrow liked the sound of it when we were talking about it. I normally don't do this but it seems so simple. Any tips? I take it the lid stays off and I know from reading here before to use only 1/2 a tub of icing and make sure the plate had a lip...

Anybody know of a spring-y trifle that I could whip together for Easter dinner? :confused: I'm not necessarily looking for chocolate, and anything based off a spice cake or gingerbread says fall/winter to me. I had thought about the Strawberry-Coconut Tres Leches trifle, but our...

My director has been raving about her success in using strawberry cake mix and strawberry icing in the DCB, in the microwave...exactly how we have been doing the Chocolate Molten Lava cake. She had a regular host requests this and it was a hit. I think this would go great with a QSP recipe...

I saw on an older thread someone mentioning this with the Pink Panties recipe. I think this would be a fun show to do. Does anyone have the cake recipe, i can't seem to find it on here. Thanks

What is the torte cake recipe on the cover of the cooking show invitation postcards? It is a chocolate cake, and looks like it has cool whip piped in a lattice pattern over the top. Thanks so much!

Have a customer asking...Can you "bake" a microwave cake in the Lg Micro Cooker? I have seen that you can in the Rice cooker plus but wasn't sure about the Micro Cooker? If so, any tips, as for recipe and cook time? Thanks in Advance.

A future host just asked if we could make the 10 Min. Cake (cake mix & tub of icing) in the fluted pan but use applesauce in place of the oil, as she does with oven cakes. As anyone tried this? And if so, how did it turn out? I can find recipes online using a cake mix, pie filling and...

I have a customer that is inquiring about a PC recipe that I haven't heard of. She called it a cream cheese coffee cake. Does anyone know the name of this recipe or where I can find it?
