There's a doll cake design idea on this birthday cake recipe article. They suggest using a vicoria sponge cake as a base - what do you all think? Is that steady enough to support a heavy design (using multiple fondant layers)?

I assume no-bake cheesecake does not require eggs. Most of us don't comsume raw eggs. Good luck!

lol - I thought this post contained an actual recipe. Does one fry the cupcakes together with the paper cups? :)

There should be a product reviews section. The best thing to do before purchasing cooking gadgets (and most other products) is to find reviews by those who have purchased them. You can avoid wasting money and needless hassles. Thanks for sharing!

A good savings tip - eliminate as much wasted food as possible. Purchase less, check fridge often for leftovers threatened to become unedible (follow food-safety guidelines), and re-use leftovers in new recipes.

Stonyfield Farm makes amazing organic yogurt. I would use that as a base and add naturally sweet fruits such as bananas. You don't need any extra sweetener. I prefer the full-fat version as well. We do need fats to live and yogurt seems like a great source.

You may have to experiment with a few before you find a method that is both easy and has great results.

Scotch - looks like you got great results and thanks for posting a simple recipe. Cake recipes can get so complicated!

Try searching google for food safety guidelines and refreezing. You may find a more definite answer that way.

Sounds like an interesting mix. I prefer wine for marinades. I once tried marinating with mustard as one of the marinade ingredients and did not like the results. I used cheap mustard (that wasn't tasty enough for any other uses) and could really taste it in the final product.

ChefJune - I find Russian-style breads to have superb texture. They can make a simple bread and butter sandwich taste like a five-star experience. Russian breads come in many varieties/grain options.

Interesting how the gloves above would do in the wash. If they can survive the washing machine, they seem like a great deal!

I do wonder about the safety of home canning - one must be very careful about sanitizing all equipment. Seems so much easier to buy canned products ready made. I would use fresh produce for cooking only.

That could work well with holiday turkey. Interesting idea!

What about a brownie base? You will get very firm results and lots of chocolate! Good luck!
