    When you run out of the rum with your vanilla beans, if you don't add more rum, you can freeze dry the spent beans and turn it into powder. That's actually a thing you can buy. Makes great vanilla sugar

    • @marypayne2066
      @marypayne2066 2 года назад +7

      Also works well in recipes like cakes and cookies when you don’t want to add moisture and you can use the inside of the beans for custards, pavlovas, ice cream, etc. but you may need to use a bit more than a recipe calls for because the taste may be a tiny bit weaker than originally.

    • @firequeen2194

      That’s what I do! When my current batch is done, it’s time for new vanilla beans which I’m doing in rum this time because that sounds fantastic! The “old beans” I just stick in a mason jar with sugar, shake regularly, and let the sugar absorb the flavor. Yum!

When I make an Upside Down Rubbarb cake, I use mini marshmellows and strawbwerry jello on the bottom of the pan for the topping when I turn it over. I've made it this way for almost 50 years and my kids still call and want me to make it.

    When I saw your little “divit” in your cake, it reminded me of my sisters wedding. My mom made her wedding cake and it was beautiful. Of course mom always made more icing than needed in a bowl and brought a piping bag along for touch ups. We put the cakes in the trunk of a friends new Cadillac. When we got to the reception hall and opened the trunk of the car, there was a “rogue” bowling ball that had been rolling around hitting the cakes like a pinball machine! After picking my mom up off the parking lot, we got the cakes out of the trunk and used every speck of the icing to repair the front of the cake. Only my sister and new brother-in-law could see the back of the cake. But from the front,it looked great and the pictures were beautiful. ALWAYS make extra icing😀

    As a professional baker/decorator, I have some cake hints/suggestions for you (although your mother's technique is working for you, so feel free to ignore my advice) there is no need for pan spray when you bake a layer cake. You want the cake to rise as high as possible. Without spray the batter clings to the side of the pan and gains height as it bakes. I bake all my cakes at 325 which produces a flatter cake layer. When the cake comes out of the oven cool 10 min. then run a dull knife around the cake pan (a sharp knife could scratch the pan and produce metal shaving that you don't want in your cake) and flip the layer onto a cooling rack. Leave the parchment on until time to decorate. a cardboard cake circle wrapped up with your cake will help protect it from getting dented in the freezer. most cake thaws quickly enough you can work with it right from the freezer. The only flavor I have a problem with is carrot cake, which freezes really hard. I think it's best to put the flat side on the cake plate, add the filling then put the top cake upside down. That gives you good adhesion to the cake plate and a flat surface to decorate. I think this recipe sounds good. I haven't tried it yet because unlike you I don't have a very productive rhubarb plant. I'm harvesting it as its available and saving it in the freezer 'till I get the 12 Cups

    The choice is absolutely up to you but as a cake decorator of 10 years, it's actually preferred by myself and everyone I've worked with to frost a cake while it's frozen. It saves from cake crumbs getting into your icing.

It was done as a group with no assistance from my assistant or I. They were "judged" on a variety of things from working together to keeping their station clean then we sampled the final product discussing what went right, wrong and and what we would do differently. It was a fun 12 years.

    Professional cake maker here... You should not frost frozen as it causes air bubbling in the frosting but if it is slightly frozen make sure you cut a slit on the cake to help it release air. Also on another note... if you add 3 tablespoons cocoa, 2 tablespoons red for coloring gel and switch the flour to cake flour, you can make a red velvet cake.

I wouldn't have otherwise known what it was and wouldn't have gone in.

    Hi! I really enjoyed watching you bake chocolate cake :) You asked for rhubarb - ideas. I don't know if anyone has said it earlier in the chat, but rhubarb juice is delicious on a warm summers day. You cut your rhubarb into maybe 2 cm pieces, and put them in your steam juicer. When all the juice has been pulled out of it, you just add as much sugar as you want. I use about 1/3 of the raw rhubarb's weight in sugar+ lemon juice. Then you get a very good rhubarb- juice which you can mix with iced water. You can also make a lovely sirup of the rhubarb. Boil 5 parts rhubarb (gramss) with 2 parts water and 2 parts sugar. Boil for 30 minutes, siw it, and let it reduce until you get the consistency you want. Good luck. :-)

    Hi thought you might like to know that for easiest spreading of frosting sometime having a tall glass of hot water helps for smoothing out. What you do is dip your offset spatula into it then dry it and spread. Unless you have a frosting that's too dry then leave it moist. (Also you might want to get a class from "Wilton" on cake decorating. They are easy and fun. I think you might like it because you already have a vission for different styles of cake).

    I love Rhubarb juice! I mix it with sparkling water! I just want to taste the rhubarb but not the sweetness.. It's so refreshing! For two liters of juice you'll need:
    1 kg rhubarb
    250 g sugar
    1.5 l water
    Juice of one lemon
    You should allow about 30 minutes for the preparation of the rhubarb juice.
    Wash the rhubarb and remove the stalk. Peeling the rhubarb is not really necessary.
    Cut the rhubarb into pieces about two centimetres long.
    Bring the water and sugar to the boil in a pot.
    Add the rhubarb pieces and the lemon juice.
    Cook the mixture over medium heat for about 15 minutes until the rhubarb pieces have softened and the sugar has dissolved.
    Puree the mixture.
    Pour the juice through a sieve into the saucepan.
    Boil the rhubarb juice again.
    Wash out the glass bottles with hot water.
    Pour the hot juice into the glass bottles and allow the juice to cool in them.

    I was in Horseshoe Bay yesterday and they have this cute bakery with all kinds of goodness there… but Nooo rhubarb! Man was I disappointed, lol. The banana cream was the best I’ve ever had though, soo not too sad.
    Then I see your video today!💕 You speak to my soul and have inadvertently helped me more than you’ll ever know. I’ll message you one day.
    Anyway, Great video, Becky. Enjoy your weekend and can’t wait to hear what your secret is!💕

    Real buttermilk is the liquid that comes off beaten cream when making butter. One can make a buttermilk substitute using a cup of whole milk adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice. Mix and let sit for 5-10 minutes
    The cake we used to make for birthdays was the 1 2 3 4 a yellow cake which gets its name from the proportions of ingredients - 1 cup butter, 2 cups sugar, 3 cups flour, 4 eggs. Traditional recipe for at least 70 years and readily found on google. Frosting of choice and I have done chocolate, marshmallow like frosting, cream cheese with lemon. When I use cream cheese frosting I fill between the layers with lemon curd and sometimes with sliced strawberries.

    With parchment paper, 2 hacks. You can use your scissors to trace the pan, effectively cutting it out as you trace. Or, you can fold the paper in half and in half again making a smaller square that is roughly a quart of the pan & then fold in half from the point (making a triangle) another 2-3 times, cut off the edge rounded and when you unfold it, it should be pretty close to the pan size. ☺️

    Becky, your mother is correct about the parchment paper on the bottom of the cake pan. I've been doing that with wax paper for years. When you press it to the bottom, start in the center so you can work out all the air bubbles, then press the edges.
    Your batter would have been just a little thicker still if you had made your own buttermilk out of whole milk. I did that myself recently when making a cake to donate for a bake sale.
    Question about mulching with the rhubarb leaves,... does leaving those large rhubarb leaves not encourage snals/slugs?
    Also like the SnapWare containers! We always remove the rubber seal before putting the lids in the dishwasher.

    Hi Becky! An old way here in Finland to preserve rhubarb is to waterbath can it just on itself (it's acidic so it cans well as is) or stuffing a glass bottle full of rhubarb pieces, topping it up with clean water, corking it well and keeping it in a cold and dark place. You can also make a delicious rhubarb cider with your steam juicer! I always use the scraps for a pie filling after juicing.
    My grandma made delicious rhubarb soup by boiling sugar, rhubarb and strawberries (and cloudberries, but you guys probably don't have those)
    in water and thickening it with potato (or corn) starch. Serve cold with whipped cream.
    Your rubarb crisp looks mouthwatering!

    • @leena2522
      @leena2522 2 года назад

      Also rhubarb mead (non-alcoholic) makes a refreshing summer drink:
      Cook 5 cups of chopped rhubarb in half a gallon of water for 20 minutes. Strain and add 18-19 oz of brown sugar. Add half a gallon of water and 1/4 cup of lemon juice. When the liquid is lukewarm, dash a tiny amount (1/8 teaspoon) of dry yeast on top and let ferment lightly covered for a day.
      The next day, bottle in clean bottles and add one teaspoon of sugar in each bottle. It's ready to drink after a week in the fridge and keeps about a week more.
      These measurements are a bit vague, for metric system doesn't translate well to imperial, but then again this is not exact science either.

I like to make a rhubarb tart with almond extract that I found a number of years ago on the Pillsbury website. Calls for strawberries and rhubarb; I go straight rhubarb, 4 cups total. Rhubarb syrup or jelly from juiced rhubarb is delicious, too, and a good way to preserve it. I also freeze rhubarb in quart bags for pie.
