It is kind of funny because we don't know if we are giving advice to our competitors. I really don't care about the recipes, but when I give the advice to go out and get those upper income people, I just have to hope no one nearby will actually do it.

No need to worry about lil ole me. I'm from a far far away third world country where people don't care if I use margarine or butter. I doubt if people here even know what real butter tastes like. Yep, we're that poor and undeveloped.

She's got: creaming, melting (never heard of this before: melt sugar and butter together, then combine this liquid with the eggs), all-in-one, and whisking. That melting method is intriguing and I have to make time to try it!

Hope someone else answers but I think they're probably asleep!



Where did you get your book? I just tried looking for it. If I want it, I have to get it from the UK.

And of course, I just have to own every book that talks about baking at this level, you know.......

As far as copy right. My understanding is that there is no copy right on recipes. That is why you see the same recipe over and over again in many magazines. And also why CI charges to see recipes on their website, they have to get compensated somehow.

Reverse creaming is great for a cake, you get a nice crumb and it is super easy to make, and you get a nice flat cake. I'm going to try this recipe as my DIL loves a white cake.

So are you expecting good results by subbing margarine, which does not even remotely have the same chemistry to work in recipes that require butter?

No, I am not talking about any CI book. I am talking about the Mich Turner book ImaginethatNJ mentioned, which is not related to CI at all.

I found the book on Amazon, but they do not have any on their site. I can get the book through sellers in the UK, but I was curious where ImaginethatNJ got her copy before I pursue it further.

Linda, I'm so sorry I didn't answer this before. I stopped getting notifications. Today I was wondering how AKA_cupcakeshoppe's cake went and I decided to click on her profile and see if I could get back to the thread that way.

AKA_cupcakeshoppe, your cake is gorgeous! And from what I heard, it was delicious.

Linda, I pre-ordered that book from Amazon for a long time, but when the book was published I got a message from Amazon saying that it was out of print!

I have all her books, and also Peggy Porschen's (not that I get to use them that often), so I decided I had to get it no matter what. A friend of mine from New Zealand ordered it for me from the book depository, a lot cheaper than it cost here, and no shipping charges, shipped straight to my address. Try it there. It's a really nice book.

And Linda, here's two videos from YouTube that will give you an idea of what's there.
