My favorite cake will have to be red velvet with cream cheese icing. It is very common but I just love the overall taste. Red Velvet for me is a very light version of chocolate cake and the cream cheese frosting that I make isn’t overly sweet.

Marian, we just had this discussion today at work: which cake flavor is our favorite!!
it was a close race, but the two that topped the list were raspberry cake and banana cake!
I think if I had to chose just the cake flavor, not frosting or filling, I have to go with the banana cake, it’s one of those that you can eat for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and a midnight snack!

It’s really hard to decide I adore red velvet cake, but I also adore butter sponge cake that my mom used to make.

I like yellow cake with vanilla buttercream.
I think my fave is my own chocolate-mojito cake!

I’d have to say good ol’ white/vanilla cake w/orange mouse filling! That’s my kick for the time being
Hope I win!!!
What a great giveaway! I adore your gingerbread spatula. And the butterfly cookies are so gorgeous! I live in a small city so we don’t have the opportunity or shops to try or make anything unique like those in large metropolitan cities (which are at least 4 hours drive one way from where I live). So the only choices we have are boxed and boring store bought cake mixes. I like chocolate but vanilla gives you more opportunity for more flavors of icing or added bits. I would love a book that would allow me to make things I can’t get around here. Please add my name to the hat for chance to win. Many thanks.
I’m a plain-ol’ Vanilla type of gal… add some chocolate frosting and I’m in heaven. :love:
Thanks for the cookie tutorial! I love every flavor of cupcake, esp. choc/mocha…
The cover alone is amazing. I neeed it!
My favorite cake flavor is chocolate!
My favorite cake is a lemon cream cake. The frosting is made from whipping cream and fresh lemon. The cake itself is vanilla. And the combination is wonderfully light and summery.

:love: My favourite cake is blueberry with white chocolate chip, filled with extra blueberry compote and topped with a lovely thick vanilla butter-cream…. yum ^_^

I would have to say my favourite cake flavour is chocolate with a hazelnut chocolate icing.
what do I add to butter cream to get that caramel flavour. And another question, how do you make fondant a chocolate color, or am I mistaken is it real chocolate that has been added? thanks in advance darleen
Hi Darleen,
!
can be bought already-made, or you could color white fondant
with brown food paste coloring
.
It can be as simple as adding caramel flavouring
Chocolate fondant
Here is a great chocolate marshmallow fondant chocolate recipe which uses cocoa powder and melted chocolate.
You can add those two ingredients to your own regular fondant recipe as well. It’s a wee bit more complicated than a marshmallow fondant, but definitely doable. (Uses water, sugar, glucose or corn syrup and cream of tartar). My favorite recipe comes from The Advanced Professional Pastry Chef
but there are lots of other fondant recipes on the net.
Hope that helps!
