It's super simple but tastes like home, and she always used to make it for special occasions, like when I'd come home from college, when I scored a winning goal in soccer, etc.<br /><br />Years later, and living abroad in Holland, I made that cake for my sister when her son was born. I made it again for my boyfriend when we moved in together in Australia. And sometimes I bake it just because I miss my mom. <br /><br />Amazing how food can play such an incredible emotional role, isn't it...Yasmeenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17921891926536652584noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31835761.post-69135293947087980792011-09-19T10:05:35.913+10:002011-09-19T10:05:35.913+10:00My most memorable cake experience was attempting t...My most memorable cake experience was attempting to make a heart in a cake for Mother's Day as my mother is my biggest inspiration in my cooking and baking! It was a project that took 2 full days! Let me tell you, it's difficult to keep it a secret across the 2 days especially when my kitchen is an open concept! But the hard work was all worth it when my mum cut into the cake and the heart was revealed. Her smile can never be replaced!

Rookie mistake. Of course, it didn't take long for the batter to overflow out of the tin, and when I opened the oven door to check on my cake, only to find most of it stuck to the bottom of the oven, in my haste to remove the tin from the oven I forgot to put on oven mitts!<br />Needless to say, pain and a lot of mess ensued :(:(<br />But after my hands had healed, I tried out the recipe again, and let's just say I nailed it ;)<br /><br />And I really think since then my hands have been a lot more resistant to heat. A blessing hidden in a tough lesson :)Angie :)noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31835761.post-19217926054732506182011-09-18T22:29:57.628+10:002011-09-18T22:29:57.628+10:00My most memorable cake experience is the birthday ...My most memorable cake experience is the birthday cake I made for Deanna'a first birthday.

Patiently waiting for each layer to be baked while the aroma of the cake filled the whole house. Is very time consuming but well paid off by its taste and aroma.

I was going to update my blog and link the entry etc. But bugger that now, work is killing me. <br /><br />My most memorable cake experience would definitely have to making the opera cake. I'm not sure if you saw that entry, but the photos are missing now, annoyingly enough.<br /><br />But making that cake took something like 5 hours. There were so many steps, and everything was so fiddly. Some of the ingredients I've never worked with before and some of them, I've never even heard of before. <br /><br />And when you had built the whole thing up, it was this tiny little thing that seemed hardly worth the effort. But it took all but one bite to realise that it was definitely worth the effort. It was all kinds of divine and to this day, I've not eaten a cake I've loved quite as much. <br /><br />I love to bake and I love mags. Winning this subscription would mean so much to me!Celeste @ Berrytravelshttp://www.berrytravels.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31835761.post-90178674926870080802011-09-15T08:38:13.408+10:002011-09-15T08:38:13.408+10:00This looks excellent.

She was French and her dad was a famous chef. I was in charge of teaching her English and in return, she tried to teach me French! <br /><br />Of course all the words she taught me were about food: cake, raspberries, banana, pineapple... <br /><br />I was soon invited to her house and her dad (the famous chef) was so impressed that I had been trying to learn French that he made the most amazing raspberry French gateau! It was amazing. <br /><br />When they brought it out they were all saying: "What is it Elisa, what is it!?" <br /><br />"Gâteau aux framboises! Gâteau aux framboises!!" I replied.<br /><br />It was very memorable...even 20 years later ;)Elisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12132093415815694888noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31835761.post-3601790459328379132011-09-14T21:08:40.957+10:002011-09-14T21:08:40.957+10:00Your lemon cake looks amazing!

I love the zesty flavours of citrus and have baked many cakes using them, but I think the most memorable cake experience for me would have to be making the moist chocolate and ferrero rocher buttercream tenpin bowling cake for a little boy's 8th birthday last year.<br /><br />I made 2 pins and a bowl, complete with blue pearly coloured royal icing and three black holes for the fingers. It looked great, I even got asked if I was a professional! Haha It took me over 8 hours to make - I completely underestimated how big a job it was! But it was all very worth it! <br /><br />Having said that I went with the simpler Rainbow Doodle cake this year.

I spread nutella and grated walnuts on each of the pancakes as I stacked them. I poured chocolate sauce over the whole thing and served it with cream. I took it as my contribution to dinner with my neighbour at the time Roger who was the manager at the Stokehouse and a fabulous chef, pretty daring of me but Roger loved it!Vidahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00647721974409945139noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31835761.post-38615957762508279362011-09-14T08:11:17.746+10:002011-09-14T08:11:17.746+10:00My most memorable cake experience was attempting t...My most memorable cake experience was attempting to make chocolate fudge cake with my best friend when we were about 8 years old.
