For the caramel apple cake. Is that the caramel cake with an apple filling? What would the apple filling be? Sorry just not good at figuring this stuff out by myself. Need details... THANK YOU

regarding the white chocolate cake:

I could not find white chocolate pudding mix... wth.. anyone in SiCal know what store(s) carry some?

Made the cake last night by adding in 12 oz melted white chocolate to the WASC (using french vanilla pudding since I couldn't find the w.c.) and while it was moist, flavorful and dense, it doesn't have enough w.c. flavor to me... any ideas on other additions? Maybe subbing in some white choc coffee creamer for the liquid...

Don't use International Delight's White Chocolate Coconut creamer b/c there is more of a coconut flavor detected than a white chocolate. I haven't tried the White Chocolate Macadamia (think it's Coffee Mate)

Try DaVinco or Torani white chocolate drink syrups. Vons used to carry the pudding, but yesterday it wasn't on their shelves!

Here a couple of other products to try:

I had forgotten about the Ghiradelli powder. This one I found months ago says it can be used in baking. It's more expensive, but others may lose their flavor w/ high heat.

Would white hot chocolate packets work?? I have some I got in a gift basket and was wondering if I could incorporate them into a white chocolate cake.

I would think you could use them. The hot chocolate cake uses hot chocolate packs. What brand are they?

I like the DaVinci's white chocolate syrup better than the Torani's. The Davinci's isn't so sugary.

I ordered the White Chocolate Powder from amazon, waiting for the delivery to test my Hazelnut praline white chocolate cake. I have had to search here and there for the ingredients I need, I hope this is a sign that the cake is going to be awesome. icon_rolleyes.gif

great ideas on the white chocolate, people, thanks!

Macsmom - found out when I was making the cake that Vons doesn't carry the w.c. pudding anymore, that's when I subbed the french vanilla icon_lol.gif Time to go hunting for the syrup and the powder. If all else fails, I'll order 'em

I like your cake. And it sounds delicious!

Here's a picture of my cake I made this weekend. I used MacsMom's Rainbowlicious recipe for the first tier and my Amaretto Latte for the bottom tier. Everyone loved the cake. The kids so excited when they saw all the colors inside. My sister in law called me the day after and told me that her little one was pooping bright green the next day. lol
The Amaretto Latte cake got rave reviews as well. I had some at the party as well and it was delicious if I say so myself. icon_smile.gif. The description below the picture is wrong. the Amaretto was layers of amretto and layers of coffe cake with amareto buttercream in between.

Thanx MacsMom for all the tips, hints, recipies and cheering on.

Okay.... This Rainbowlicious sounds... well.... eye appealingly delicious.

I dont know where I missed the how to...
But for some odd reason I can't seem to wrap my mind around how you get all the colors baked w/o them bleeding into eachother.... call me dunce.

I understand that its a vanilla cake with part of the batter colored with liquid or gel colors... but when baking... what do you guys find the most efficient (as I dont have multiple pans of the same size)...

...do you just layer one color on another and bake?? Or do each color individually?

What are you filling with?

Any hints... now you-all have me DYING to try it out!!!

Dummy it down for me ladies/gents.

Thx!

PS this might be great in the google doc. incase my fellow cakers are afraid to ask icon_smile.gif

Do each layer a different color. Bake them seperately then layer them. They would be thinner layers than normal. I do them about as thin as the normal layer would be after I torted it.

Oh you can fill it with what you like but it says vanilla mousse.

Oh yes, blue & purple foods = green poo. I found this out when my nephew had eaten blue's clues applesauce & I was worried & wondered what he'd eaten. I wonder if there should be a disclaimer when selling that cake icon_biggrin.gif. Most parents know but not all.

I'm thinking about making the rainbowlicious cake for my dd's next month & surprising her! She's already told me she loved my raspberry & lime cakes b/c they looked like SpongeBob & Patrick (what she's wanting). I may have to play w/ those colors first though.

Pinkbox:

I usually bake either 2 pans or 3 pans when making a cake.

If i'm doing 2 layers, I do red, orange, yellow and green in one pan and blue pink and purple in the next.

If I'm doing 3, I do red and orange, yellow and green, blue, pink and purple.

I mix them in separate tupperware containers and then just spoon them out. They are all the same density so they don't sink into each other.

The big thing is just to not put complementary colors together (orange/blue, violet/yellow, red/green).. because that creates a brownish color.

I just made the rainbowlicious cake yesterday - and like you - I only have one 10 in pan - of course I didnt think to do it like patticakesnc said (I think next time I will try that!!) but what I did was pour in the first layer of batter smooth to sides then genlty pour the second color over it spreading gently to cover ... and even though I havent cut it yet, there looks to be very little bleeding into the others ... Im sure there will be some but you can def tell there are 2 distinc colors in each ... HTH!

pinkbox, here's how I did mine.

MacsMom, chime in at anytime please.

I wish I had taken a picture of the cut slice, but really didn't have a chance.

I only have two round 8" pans. So I prepared my cake batter and separated them into 6 different bowls. Colored each one a different color and then spooned 3 colors in each pan. Like so:
1st pan- red/orange/yellow
2nd pan - green/ blue/purple

there was a bit of bleeding into eachother but not so much. I thought that added to the beauty of it. I torted each cake in half and used the same color buttercream as their pertaining layer.

I looked in MacsMom's pictures and one of them is a terrific picture of a slice of her rainbowlicious cake. It is gorgeous!!!
So that along with her explanation helped me get the effect.

I believe she does it in 3 different pans with 2 colors each. red/orange, yellow/green, blue/purple.

I would post a picture of her cake, but that is not my place. It's hers to brag about.
It really is beautiful.

Ok, I have a request for Macsmoms Raspberry Truffle ~ Dark chocolate-raspberry cake filled with chocolate fudge & raspberry puree, from her flavor list.
I've checked and haven't seen the recipe listed. I'm thinking the chocolate WASC recipe with (dark?) Chocolate Raspberry creamer (I think I saw this in the store). Am I on the right track? I'm not sure I can get chocolate extract, is there something else I can use?
Also, this cake will be for my mom and I have some of her homemade red raspberry jelly, I'd love to use that for the filling, but how would I go about that?
I'm thinking of covering in raspberry butter cream with a dk chocolate ganache poured over the top.
TIA for any help!!
