Is making cake reversible?

No - in the process of making the pancakes you mix the ingredients irreversibly - especially the eggs, which you can't un-break. When you cook them, they undergo irreversible chemical changes as well.

How long does it take to design and decorate cakes?

The answer to this question will greatly depend on the cake you make, or basically what the 'client' wants. It will also vary according to the resources available, whether it is made by a one-decorator home kitchen or a well-staffed bakery. In my experience in my home kitchen, and I do not make but the occasional mega wedding cake, a well decorated cake can take as little as 8 to 10 hours, or they can take weeks from start to finish. A well staffed bakery can cut this time by at least half.

Initially you will spend about one to two hours discussing the client's needs, clarifying the terms of any contract you might have, and developing a potential design. Occasionally you'll spend part of this time doing research for at least some part of the design. At least a few minutes may be required to purchase special supplies or other shopping needs.

Although there will be some argument with this, I tend to make cakes ahead of time and freeze them. Many celebrity cake decorators boast that they're cakes are "never frozen" but in my experience (and if stored properly) this actually improves the moisture level and texture of the cake. Usually, again depending on the size of the cake, I'll spend at least a portion of a day doing nothing but baking.

The remaining time spent will depend on what the client wants on the cake. Sugar flowers, whether made from fondant and gumpaste or icing, generally take a long time to make and then require time to 'set'. Depending on the number required, several hours to several days will be required for just this portion of the cake. Fondant icing takes more time than frosting to make, roll, cut and cover the cake. You can save some time by buying pre-made fondant, but the poor flavor and the additional cost is not worth it in my experience. If the cake is decorated in all frosting, or frosted with pre-made flowers, then it can usually be completed in one to three hours in addition to the time spent on communication, shopping, baking, or any other specialty work that might be required.

How do you make a cake with cooked pudding?

Instant pudding is a great comfort food, but buying it one box at a time when it's not on sale gets expensive. Here's how you can make your own instant pudding mix in chocolate, vanilla, or any flavor you'd like. It's easy, delicious, and well worth making your own instant pudding mix. Step 1 Combine all dry ingredients. If you're making chocolate pudding, add 2.5 cups of the unsweetened cocoa powder. For flavors that you'll use liquid flavoring extracts, don't add the flavoring now! If, though, you wanted to make a vanilla cinnamon instant pudding mix, you would add the cinnamon now, to taste (we use two tablespoons). Step 2 Store in an air-tight container until you're ready to use. Step 3 To prepare, add one half cup mix to two cups milk, mix in a saucepan over low heat, and heat and stir constantly while boiling. Step 4 Once cool, add liquid flavoring extracts like .5 tsp vanilla extract or .5 tsp lemon extract. (You could even add coconut extract or other flavors! Yum.) Step 5 Refrigerate until ready to serve. Homemade instant pudding mix is especially delicious with whipped cream on top! ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Would you like to learn how I made one piece of chocolate cake decrease from 280 calories to 180? I got this cool idea from a girlfriend at work, and honestly did not think it would work, so I tried it the same afternoon. Any you will have to follow my (very first) EHOW post and just see for yourself. Read on my friends... Step 1 Place one cake mix into a bowl. Stir one 12 ounce Diet Coke into the mix until smooth. It is not necessary to remove all the lumps, just mix like a brownie mix. It makes no difference if the Coke is cold or room temperature. Step 2 Pour the batter into your prepared pan as directed on cake mix package (or to reduce calories, use a non-stick spray). Step 3 Bake as directed (or slightly less). Step 4 I found this as a good sweet treat while trying diligently to watch my daily calorie total. It satisfied my chocolate craving, and I hope it does your too. This was the first time I actually enjoyed a piece of cake that was not "caked" in frosting. Enjoy! == * Cake mix * Diet Coke * Bowl, spoon, butter spray, pan and oven

What can i use instead of butter for a cake?

You can use any other oil or lard. Cream and other milk products may contain enough fat to have much the same effect as the butter on the texture and taste of your cake. As for fat-free options you could search for and experiment with vegetable gums such as Guar Gum, Pectin, Xantham Gum, etc... that are used in industrial baking as fat substitutes.

Can you mix two cake mixes together and bake them or do you have to make them seperatly?

Well--I am going to try. The brownie cake [in a football cake pan] is in the oven.

Watch here for what I used and how it turned out!

OK -- here is what I used: 1 Betty Crocker Super Moist Butter Recipe Yellow Cake Mix; 1 Betty Crocker Dark Chocolate Fudge Brownie Mix.

To the combined cake/brownie mixture I added 2 cups of eggnog, 1/2 cup softened butter, 1/4 cup canola oil, and 3 eggs.

I poured the batter into a football shaped cake pan about 3/4 full. [Could have been less]; the remainder of the batter I poured into 12 cupcake liners.

Baked at 350 degrees.

The taste is delicious. The edges of the big cake and the tops of the cupcakes got more "crisp" than I would have preferred, but the cake texture is perfect!

The color is perfect for making a football cake! I just added white icing "laces" to the cake and the cupcakes. Perfect for our superbowl party!

OH--why eggnog? why the combo? Post Wisconsin blizzard=no trips to the store=use what you have on hand!

Six bakers can bake six cakes in 6 hours how many cakes can twelve bakers bake in twelve hours?

The same length of time it takes to cook one cake, provided the oven is not overcrowded. If the available cooking space has the cakes too close together you could need to adjust time and temperature upwards a little; if the cakes are crowded, leaving little airflow between them, you might have to look at cooking, say, two at a time.
