Dear Bindiya
Visited your blog by hopping through the blogger's network and and i like your your display on the blog. I will visit your blog often, from now on.
Am a fellow blogger with love for cakes, too. Greetings to you from Botswana for new 2008. Do pass by my blog whenever you can
Congratulations!
This looks like the perfect way to celebrate :)
Thank you all soooo much, such sweet wishes!
Anonymous- You have to fold in the yolks and the sugar AFTER stiff peaks form (egg white).
The cakes look beautiful Bindiya. Wishing you both a wonderful Anniversary (albeit belated).
Its never too late to wish you both a wonderful anniversary & hoping that there are many more lovefilled years ahead.
The cake looks awesome. I really feel that we bloggers in Delhi should get together sometime. You know we could really plan out something.
Oh...oh...oh...gorgeous cakes!
Happy Anniversary to you both.
Hi Bindiya,
The cake looks too good. I have a question..can i make the frosting with fresh cream without using electric beater..bcoz i dont have one..can i use a mixer for it or a wire whisk will do..pls answer soon..
Anonymous- Yes ,you can make the icing using fresh cream, but not in a mixer, with a wire whisk, put the bowl over ice and beat well whilst adding icing sugar gradually.
Thanks a lot Bindiya for answering..i also tried the instant Pizza recipe n it came out excellent...you are doing a great job..
hi bindiya, this looks absolutely divine. what cream do u use? and how do u know the percentage of fat in it?
Your food photography is delicious :) Really helpful for those who aren't too good in the kitchen. Thanks!
