As soon as
we listen to the word ‘cake’, our hearts are filled with joy, happiness and
yes, there’s a lot of craving too. The cake is a mixture of sugar, flour, eggs,
and many other ingredients to create different flavors. Cakes do not just make
our moments great, but also make our special events memorable with their unique
and juicy flavors. Most of our happy events cannot be considered complete
without cakes, and these are a vital part of our birthday parties and weddings.
Sometimes,
it is better to receive training or a cake baking class to learn different recipes around
the globe. Let’s have a look at different types of cakes and how you can
prepare them for your special occasion.
Buttercream
In
buttercream cakes, we use a mixture of butter, milk, and sugar. It is first
whipped to be made into a smooth paste. This smooth paste is used as a
buttercream on the sponge of the cake.
Fresh cream
Fresh cream
cakes are very light because there is no use of butter as its topping and
decor. While making these, you just have to mix and whip the cream until it
gets very fluffy. At this point, you may just add a little bit of frosted
sugar. Fresh cream cakes are very juicy and light and that’s the reason that
they are chosen for most
occasions.
Mousse Cakes
Mousse cake
is mostly a no-bake cake. These are made by whipping egg whites or by whipping
cream or sometimes both. It is then flavored by adding coffee, chocolate or other
fruit purees. These
also are very light and fluffy cakes.
Fruit cakes
Fruit cakes
are usually eaten along with tea. These are made simply by making a mixture of
the sponge cake and chunks of different fruits. The final result is a
mesmerizing cake with amazing fruit aroma.
Sponge cake
A good
sponge cake has more eggs and less baking soda. To make this cake, you can
simply create a sponge with the cream and then add different flavors to it,
such as vanilla, chocolate, and coffee, etc.
Cupcakes
The one-bite
cupcakes are highly liked due to being tiny and delicious. These are baked in
cupcake molds. Present these as a starter at any occasion and you will win the
hearts of your guests.
Muffins
These are
another type of cupcakes, but they are filled with chocolate, jam, butter or a
fruit puree of choice.
Customized cakes
Whether it
is a birthday party or baby shower, customized cakes is in fashion as these are
served mostly at theme-based parties.
Printed cakes
Going up the
trend, these cakes allow one to print their picture of choice on it using safe
food colors. It is very popular nowadays, especially among kids.
