Learning To Bake A Homemade Pie

01320770694_pies.jpgLearning how to make a delicious homemade creation does not have to be difficult. The following helps to outline the process of pie baking.

Pies are the epitome of a down-home dessert; they can be delicious enough to entice you into eating two, or three, pieces but easy enough that you can make one yourself. The entire process of baking one is a little extensive, but once you learn how, you should find it to be simple and enjoyable.

This dessert has been around for centuries, and has been made in some form or another by many different cultures and people. In modern society, it is known as the most “American” of confections and can be made out of almost anything.

The crust is arguably the most important part of the whole dessert, and must be made carefully in order to set and cook correctly. Most experienced bakers will encourage novices to make sure that all ingredients, even dry ones like salt and flour, are chilled before mixing.

Mix flour and salt in one bowl and shortening and cold water in another; then, places the two mixtures into the refrigerator to chill.

A few years ago I was about to give birth to my son and I was trying to figure out how I could make some extra money while I was out on maternity leave. Well, I’m a huge dog lover and I also love to bake, so after doing a little research I decided to start making homemade dog treats and selling them for a profit. What’s great about making and selling homemade dog treats is the overhead is extremely low. You really won’t have to spend v The Secret To The Cake Baking

For either baking novices or seasoned pros, a dump cake is a no-brainer. To prepare one, you simply dump the ingredients into a bowl and beat them, then pour the batter into a pan and bake it.Once you have done so, remove them and mix with a pastry blender or food processor until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Then, add water to the mixture until it turns into dough that is moldable. Divide it into two portions, flatten them into discs, and place in the refrigerator to cool.

While the dough is setting in the fridge, prepare the mixture that you intend to place inside. This could be made of apples, cherries, berries, peaches, or any other type of fruit.

Most fillings will need to be peeled and sliced beforehand; make the process easier by using produce that you have already prepared through canning or another method of food storage or preservation.
That way, you can make use of summer fruits even in the dead of winter.

Create a mixture of your favorite spices or those that will be most complementary to the filling you are using and add it. When it comes to apple pie, both cinnamon and brown sugar are great choices to add extra flavor and kick.

When dough has sufficiently set and is cooled, remove it from the refrigerator and roll it out. Prior to the beginning of this process, you should have purchased or found a pan that is suitable to bake a pie in.

Most individuals use tins or glass platters; if you need help, ask an experienced baker or someone at a home store which type of baking pan they prefer to use. When you roll out the dough, it should be about two inches larger than the dish, all the way around.

Pour the mixture into the dish and place any extra trimmings or ingredients on top. You may wish to place pats of butter on top of the filling, to add flavor and moisture to the inside.

If you wish to have a lattice pattern on the top of your pie, purchase a cutting tool to help you slice it into strips. Lay them in the desired pattern over the top of the fruit.

Those that want the top to be completely covered can just roll out the other ball and place it on top. Make sure to cut a few slits in the middle to vent and prevent bubbling or bursting.

After that, you may want to paint the lattice pieces or top layer with milk and butter and dust it with sugar. Bake your creation for about fifteen minutes and then remove it and cover it with foil.

Return it to the oven and continue to bake it for another thirty minutes. Once it is cooked, you will definitely want to allow for some time to cool.

Pie can be a great addition to any feast or holiday dinner or be given as a gift to one of your close friends or family members. Those that do not like fruit or have any available can forego adding a top layer and fill the insides with a creamy chocolate or chiffon filling.

There is almost nothing better than hot pie a la mode, so do not forget to pick up some ice cream at the grocery store beforehand. The two flavors and temperatures mixing together is enough to make almost anyone salivate.

Bake a Cake This Halloween!

01320770465_p6021123.jpgIf you are having a Halloween party this year, you might want some other dessert besides fun sized candy bars. A Halloween cake makes a great dessert, and can also be a fun centerpiece on your dinner table while the meal is being served. Here are two creative Halloween cakes that you can try on your own. Don’t feel pressured to limit yourselves to these – you can always create your own Halloween dessert masterpieces.

The Happy Pumpkin

You can easily turn your everyday cake mix into a pumpkin creation with the help of bunt pans and decorative icing.

Take 3 boxes of your favorite white or yellow cake mix, and mix according to package decorations. Pour the batter into two bunt pans, and bake according to package decorations. Allow the cakes to cool completely and remove from the pan.

While you are waiting for the cakes to cool, empty three cans of vanilla frosting into a mixing bowl.

Wedding Cake Ideas – Princess Cake

I cannot recall the exact time of the first time I watched Cinderella but I still remember covering my face with my mom’s sofa pillows as I gazed Cinderella kissing the prince in front of their fabulous wedding cake as the narrator said “…and they lived happily ever after” through the pillows edges. As I grow up, I still remember the feeling I hope I will be getting: the feeling I got when I watched the romantic cartoon. This maybe is embarrassing but true. I believe most girls in the world carry the dream of being a cartoon princess and live happily ever after in their marriage life with their prince charming in their hearts. 10 Benefits to Halloween Fun

Many people see Halloween as a time of fun, costumes and candy. Others see it as a way to honor the dead relatives that have passed or celebrate the coming of fall and winter. No matter what you think of Halloween, there are some benefits that celebrating this holiday can offer you. Here is a look at just some Make Your Wedding Cake Unique with Monogram Cake Toppers

Weddings are all about the couple. It’s not just the bride’s but the groom’s special day as well. Months of preparation and seemingly frivolous shopping for fabrics, venues, accessories and decorations to use in a ceremony that lasts only a few hours at the most is intended to serve a greater purpose – to build a remarkable and wonderful set of memories for this happy occasion. Johnny Cakes

NATIVE BELIZEAN JOHNNY CAKES Belizean food is easy to prepare, physically filling and delightfully delicious. How about a dish of Johnny Cakes? Johnny Cakes are a favored breakfast dish in Belize. JohIf you are pretty practiced with cake decorating, 2 may be enough, but three cans will allow extra to work out unevenness and fingerprints. Add red and yellow food coloring to the frosting, stirring until the frosting becomes the desired orange color for your pumpkin. Frost the flat side of the bunt cakes, and then stack on top of each other to create your pumpkin shape. Then continue to frost the sides of the cake until you have an orange pumpkin.

If you would like to turn your pumpkin into a jack-o-lantern, simply use some black icing to draw your eyes, nose, and a mouth. You can also consider decorating a small cupcake with brown or green icing to create a stem. If you are very practiced in cake decorating, consider some pumpkin vines down the sides and back.
Your company is sure to be impressed.

The Creepy Spider web

If you want something a little spookier for your Halloween party, consider a creepy spider web cake. A little frosting and a chocolate muffin can help you make this creepy cake.

Take one box of your favorite chocolate cake mix and mix it according to the package decorations. Bake in two round pans and allow cooling completely.

While the cakes are cooling, scoop 2 cans of vanilla frosting into a large mixing bowl. Combine yellow and blue food coloring (or yellow and green) until you come up with a spooky green color. Spread a layer between the two cakes, and the cover the rest of the cake with frosting.

Draw a spider web on the top of the cake using black icing. You can start by drawing lines straight across as though the cake was a clock – from12 to 6, 1 to 7, 2 to 8, etc. Then starting at the center of the cake, draw larger circles working their way outwards until the web is complete.

Take a chocolate muffin or cupcake and cut of the “stem” so you are left with the top. Frost the entire thing with chocolate frosting and then roll in chocolate sprinkles. Set onto the “web” and attach small pieces of black string licorice to be the legs.

If you would like to get even more creative, you can extend your web down the sides of the cake, and draw on bugs using different colored icing.

With a few cake decorating skills and some creativity, you too can create spooky Halloween desserts.
