How to cover sugarpaste beautifully?
When I put sugarpaste on the cake covered with marzipan, it became like elephant skin! (I hope you understand what I mean.) There aren't big crackes, but lots of creases on the side of the cake. Not shinny, not silky like the cake I expected. How can I make a nice icing cover?

It sounds like your sugarpaste might have been too dry or possibly rolled too thin. Also, did you flip it when you put it on the cake, or did you pick it up and drop it over the cake? I've found that flipping it will not give it a nice surface at all.
I've never used marzipan because it's way too expensive in the US (I'm guessing you're in England). We usually use a layer of buttercream instead. The buttercream acts like a cushion so that you get a smooth finish. Also, if ...(Answered by Judi) |

Recipe for a really moist sponge?
I make lots of cakes for weddings, Christenings, etc and have a great recipe for fruit cake but I feel my sponges are not that good. Does anyone have a recipe for a moist sponge cake. I have made a wonderful chocolate cake using sunflower oil and it was beautifully moist and kept like that for days but ordinary plain vanilla sponges seem to turn out a bit dry. I have yet another wedding cake to make soon so any help would be much appreciate.

How do you keep the edge of the pie crust from over browning?
I have tried tearing foil and covering but it just ends up falling off when I put it back into the oven...also it is way too tedious doing it that way!! I end up frustrated every time I bake a pie! So what is the trick to make my pie come out beautifully and the outer crust done but not overly so?? Much thanks!

My first thought was that you use a whole lot more foil and fold it.... not tear it. Second was go to WalMart and buy a pie ring. But the other answerer say cut a ring from an aluminim pie plate...... brilliant and a simple solution. For that matter you could use a heavy duty paper plate and oil the top.
I also remember that you can cut a ring using parchment paper for baking....(Answered by jackson) |

How do you fry an egg Perfectly Round?
I use Tuna Fish Cans or Potted Meat cans, with the top and
bottom cut out of them, washed and greased thoroughly,
and set them in the skillet, and break the egg into the can.
When baking Homemade Biscuits, make the biscuits round
with cans, and bake, on low heat, for several minutes, til the
biscuits form "shape'', then remove the cans, and finish
baking.
I used to do this when I wanted to make baked eggs, and I'd
spray a baking pan or put butter on it, (butter is better), and
I'd line my ''cans'' in a row, and break my eggs into the cans
and you can ... (Asked by Too Funny)

You have an excellent idea! We bought a set of "egg rings" to make our fake egg mcmuffins. Works like a charm....(Answered by chefgrille) |

How do I get a turkey beautifully browned like you see on the covers of cookbooks and on t.v. (more)?
I cook them and they're wonderfully juicy and flavorful, but the skin is always less than a deep golden brown. Is there a way to cook them with that color without drying them out - I mean, do the cookbooks overcook them to get the cover shot?

As the centerpiece to the meal, a golden brown, mouth-watering turkey gives friends and family great anticipation. With a little imagination and these simple tips, any chef can enhance the presentation of the turkey. The Butterball Open Pan Roasting Method consistently creates a golden, picture-perfect turkey with little effort.
Before roasting, brush the turkey with oil. Then, cook the turkey in a shallow roasting pan at 325°F.
When the turkey is a light golden color, about two-thirds of the way done, shield the breast with lightweight aluminum foil to prevent the breast from overcooking.
Be sure to use a meat thermometer ...(Answered by croc hunter fan) |
