Place: Cake Brigade Member Bradley's Unit Base
Members: Bradley, Polson, Faulkner, (with guest Brigader, Mander).
Acting on a sudden desire to make toffee apples, I had started to make the caramel before everyone else had arrived. Due to this, while I was letting people in, I let the caramel burn, and thus, the Toffee Apples were a complete disaster. However, peal the toffee off, and they were lovely! Maybe, in one future Cake Brigade meeting I will try again, but alas, it was not to be this time. Not even my dad would have one, and that's saying something.
We also tried our hand at muffins for the first time this meeting. We went for a nice safe double chocolate recipe. They were nice, but not quite right, as they didn't seem to rise very well as you imagine a muffin should, so we knew that next time we would try a different recipe!
From our discovery of the stripe cake, we went on to experiment with the Spiral Cake, which was plain and chocolate cake spiraled together, and sandwiched with chocolate butter cream. We like chocolate butter cream.
Linzi then decided to melt the remaining chocolate from the muffins, and use it to decorate the cake. This was the outcome. It looks like a snail's shell!
