You can follow Browny’s cakes on:

• Cakes baked in glass versus metal bake differently. If using glass, you’ll want to lower your oven temperature by 25 degrees.

• Preheat your oven before you start mixing and prepping . it’s best if the oven is preheated for 20 to 30 minutes at the proper baking temperature.

• Be sure to use the correct pan size called for in the recipe.

• Fat, eggs, and all kind of liquid should generally be used at room temperature. Cold ingredients could cause the batter to curdle.

• When combining butter and sugar, take your time to cream them together  Take  at least 5 minutes to mix them together. This helps to ensure a lighter cake, as it adds tiny air pockets to the batter. Sugar granules shouldn’t be visible, but you can still feel them if you rub a bit of the mixture between your fingers.

• Measure flour and other dry ingredients exactly. Use a knife or other flat surface to level off dry ingredients in a measuring cup or spoon.

• Don’t forget to sift your flour! This step helps to add air and ensures that all dry ingredients are properly combined.

• Generally, the cake batter should fill the pan by at least half and not more than 2/3, unless otherwise instructed.

• Try to bake the cake in the middle of the oven.

It’s a browny’s thing…

I get every month a new challenge…. This time a customer wanted a cake in the form of a wine bottle. She was also very specific which wine bottle it has to be. Like I told you all before I don’t drink alcohol so when people came with names etc…. I need to google. This time it was a little bit easier because this customer send me a picture of how she wanted the cake to be.
In this blog I will guide you guys step by step how I did make this Wine bottle Cake. I hope you can learn how easy it is to make your own customized wine bottle cake. The only thing you need to make is time to make this cakes, because it’s alot of work!

1. First of all you make your cake batter (see previous blogs for several flavors of cake batter) and put the batter in the oven. I made vanilla sponge cake for this wine cake. I used a 20 diameter round cake pan and a 15 diameter round cake pan to make this cake. I made two 20 diameter and  two 15 diameter round cake

2. Let the cake cool down and fill it with you favorite filling. This cake I filled with vanilla pudding and strawberry jam. (delicious this combination)

Vanilla pudding

3.This cake is covered with fondant, so I make buttercream to covered the cake with. The buttercream helped the fondant stick to the cake. Let the cake chill in the refrigerator for about 15-20 minute. It’s easier to work with the cake when buttercream is hard. After the cake is chilled I cut the cakes into half and put them on the cake board (this time I used a mirror as cake board, because this cake was too big)

4. I draw a line on the cake, so I can give the cake the shape of a wine bottle. I you are not good in drawing google a wine bottle template. Here is the link where you can find a wine bottle template: http://www.houseofstirfry.com/chia/templates/wine01.html

5. After drawing the line I cut the first side of the cake in the shape of the bottle. You can see now, how the cake is getting the shape of the wine bottle.

6. On below picture you can see the final result after cutting both side of the cake in the shape of the wine bottle.

After shaping the cake don’t forget to cover the sides with buttercream otherwise the fondant won’t stick on the cake.

7. I covered the cake with white fondant and hand painted the cake with red and golden foodcolour.
