I am just wondering what everyone does with all the egg yolks after making a white cake. The recipe I am going to try calls for 10 egg whites and to make all the layers and teirs I will have to make it at least 4 times. That is a lot of left over yolks. Does everyone just eat a lot of scrambled eggs? icon_smile.gif

I usually freeze them and use them for ice cream and lemon curd.

I actually microwave them and give them to the dog to eat!

You should make Creme Brulee! It's really simple and a definite crowd pleaser.

There was a string of posts about this a few months ago. There are a few yellow cake recipes that require only yokes so you could make a white cake and a yellow cake.

Make buttercream or custard filling. It is wonderful.
