Howdy Folks! Welcome to my site for Birthday Cakes and this post filled with Birthday Cake Pictures. I am thrilled you stopped by. I am a retired school teacher in eastern Texas and I love to bake. My grandchildren talked me into developing a site for birthday cakes. So I got to work last summer (2011) and developed this blog chock full of cake recipes and resources. Everyday or so I work on this site adding a recipe or two, along with my other hobbies of gardening and painting animal and flowers on furniture. So you can see I stay pretty busy. I believe in birthdays and am always delighted when I can dig out a recipe and make a quick and easy cake for my friends and neighbors too.
I love the Internet and put together a wonderful source for ordering the things you might need to make your birthday creations and celebrations quick and easy and a success. Go ahead and click on my collection of markets I brought to this site. I do make an occasional dollar when you buy through me which is a lot of fun too! But mostly I love the convenience of ordering on line as you can get the darnedest things for making birthday cakes! I do love Amazon and I think you will too! Lots of Love to y’all and don’t be a stranger! – Fran
There are only two types of cakes – butter and sponge type cakes. Cakes that contain shortening are called butter-type cakes. The other type that rely on beaten egg whites for leavening are called sponge-type cakes. Within these cake categories there are a great many variations. Butter cakes are sometimes called plain cakes and are made by either the conventional (creaming butter and sugar together) or one-bowl method. Angel food cake is the most popular in the sponge-type group, which also includes sponge and chiffon cakes. I have created a collection of cake recipes in these two categories and in a wide variety of taste! I hope you enjoy…..
I have been asked about cake and cupcake decorating with step by step instructions and how to start up a profitable home business making cakes and cupcakes. I have put together resources that you need to have to take your cake decorating to the next level. Check out these eBooks listed at the very top of this site entitled “Discover the Secrets of Cake Decorating” and “How to Start a Cake & Cupcake Business Today.”
PS Don’t forget now, this is the Go To Place for all your Birthday Cake Needs!
