Raspberry Butter Cream Frosting
What can one say about the modest Raspberry, except that it is delightful, nutritious and makes the most amazing jam and cake frosting. Hands up those who have smacked their lips at the even sight of Raspberry Butter Cream Frosting?
They also make a perfect addition to muffins, fairy cakes and ice cream and Oh! Not to forget raspberries and fresh cream with a scone or on their own. Am I making your mouth water yet?
When I think of Raspberries, I think of my grandpa Ted who I adored and how I used to help him in his enormous, and I mean enormous vegetable and fruit garden. Granddad Ted and granny Min had 11 offspring and when they grew up and got married, they lived close by; some of them even built houses on land bought from granddaddy.
Each child produced many children, quite a clan we were all fed from Granddad's grand garden plus his pigs, poultry and rabbits.
Anyhow back to the story. Whenever granddad was not working as a Master Baker, you would come across him, in his garden or looking after the livestock. This is where I loved to come and assist, and be taught the "How To" on it all.

You cannot go wrong with this cookbook if you are looking for delicious treats to bake. Besides of cookies and bars, she has recipes for cakes and pies, scrumptious frostings. (book worm)
I recall the Raspberry Canes, they would line 3 lines deep 2 canes per hole either side of the path to the house, which also led off to the pigs, poultry and rabbits. Each Cane standing around 6 feet. And I used to love helping grandad stake and tie these canes before fruiting, as each one gave of its best
gramps was really proud of his garden; the land was rich and rich and produced only the best of produce. After each harvest the ground was fed with well rotted manure and compost, dug in deep, turned 2-3 times left for a 2-3 weeks, turned again, then new crops planted in a rotation system.
I remember how It was drummed into me "Raspberry Canes, are tricky little devils, they don't like to get soaked feet, and won't do well if weeds tickle their legs Margie" he used to say. "Don't tie them too tight, you will bruise the cane, just enough to give 'em support, show 'em love and they will yield you fruit to be proud of" was the repeated instruction every time we gave the canes support.
The Raspberry canes did show us love, with an abundance of fruit, flawlessly formed sweetened, scrumptious berries ready for us to pick and eat as is, or turn into something comforting and delightful like grannie Mins Double Sponge Cake which was so light, I used to believe one puff of wind and it would blow away. All filled with fresh whipped cream, layered with fresh raspberries and topped with the best raspberry frosting I have ever tasted.
Grandfather is long departed now, even after all this time, I still miss him at times, it is funny how memories can come bouncing back when you look, touch or smell certain things. Raspberries, those delightful berries do it for me all the time.
Oh those Raspberry canes, they kept on giving, year after year, after year.

When Making Birthday or Special Event Cakes for Kids
Author: Barbera Muzacz
When decorating the birthday cake, it is important to keep in mind what the individual likes and dislikes. The type of adornments may depend on the age of the person or about the time of year the birthday falls on. Here are a few great decorating birthday cake ideas for just about any age.
The first idea involves themes in line with the time of year the birthday celebration is on. One of many ingredients that will be essential for any decorating is actually food coloring. You can easily find any kind of whitened icing and shade it to use inside your decorating. These are a few of the cake decorating suggestions that I have used previously for various holidays that could give you inspiration:
Easter designed birthday cake: For this kind of cake, you can easily use a bag associated with coconut to imitate grass. All you need to do is put the preferred amount of coconut inside a Ziploc bag and add a few drops associated with green food coloring. After shaking this, sprinkle over the top from the cake. From here, you can include a few pastel colored M&Ms to look like Easter eggs. If you can find one, it's also a good idea to add a little Easter bunny figure to the cake.
This review is from: Tinkerbell Fairy Friends Signature Cake Topper
I was looking for a beautiful Tinker bell cake topper and I found it here. When I saw it, I decided I would make this cake and It actually turned out pretty similar to this one. I made the cake and the frosting and my brother decorated it. He really did a great job (posted pictures of it in the CUSTOMER IMAGES!). ("Norma Fehr")
Halloween birthday celebration cake: This kind of dessert involves a lot of different types of candy. For it, you'll need some Oreo cookies, a few gummy worms, and various additional pieces of candy. Make use of a layer of darkish icing on the dessert, and then grind in the Oreo cookies into a good mixture. Sprinkle this particular on top of the cake as well as add gummy worms into it. This will create a weird effect and preferences delicious. If you want a much more colorful cake, you may also add various little pieces of candy up of the cake.
The 2nd theme for designing birthday cake suggestions is based on the pastimes the person has. If it's a child, then often a TV character may be beneficial. Since most characters tend to be cartoons, it is simple to build your own drawing instead of have a bakery make it. Here's one example of a designed birthday cake:
Ninja Turtle birthday celebration cake: For this dessert, all you will need is actually icing, decorating ideas, and food color. Start with some topping that has been tinted vibrant green and make the actual outline of a Ninja turtle mind. This should be roughly how big the cake. After setting out, use the color flavored to outline the mask. Fill in the actual facial area along with green icing, after which use white topping to draw the mouth area. After this, fill in the actual mask with the color of your choice. Then make use of the white icing to create the eyes. As this is a cartoon character, the form should be simple as it is already drawn in a 2 dimensional format.
Always remember that anything may be used to decorate a birthday celebration cake for any kind of style. Figurines, candy, as well as toys can give your own cake that small something extra to really make it pop. Always have enjoyable with your decorating, simply because even if it doesn't come out perfect, the best part of the birthday cake is definitely going to be getting to consume it!
