Does anyone have any recommendations for good flavor combinations/recipes? I'm really enjoying baking for our household (and my friends.) Even if I can't eat too many slices due to my on-going diet. I'll add new cakes/projects as I make them.) I need to perfect my apple cake before Vek (long-time TL buddy) comes to visit, and Mum recently purchased a mini cupcake maker which needs testing. Coconut sponge cake; ![[image loading]](http://i276.photobucket.com/albums/kk5/neverggg/temp/temp2/IMG_7561.jpg) Chocolate cake with peanut butter topping; ![[image loading]](http://i276.photobucket.com/albums/kk5/neverggg/temp/temp2/IMG_7554.jpg)   | ||

As for cakes to make, carrot cakes are surprisingly good, but I have always been predisposed to the more hearthy cakes. | ||

It tasted pretty good straight off of the cooling rack :D I'd love to make carrot cake. I used to dislike it, but the taste has really grown on me after sampling some local ones. | ||

I'll probably start following proper recipes if I cook anything more complicated than a sponge though :D I'll definitely add comments about the taste/texture etc. | ||

The sponge cake looks sooo good, imo because of the beautiful crust you got going on there. I love sponge cakes for their crusts, more than the "interior" part, because the crust is always a zone of concentrated sweet goodness. And yours looks to die for. | ||

And for suggestions, well carrot cake is the shit and lemon cheesecake is pretty good too. edit: Who needs an oven in Korea really? You can get all your quality traditional french style baked goods, like sweet potato garlic bread, from Paris Baguette lol. | ||

So I guess it's a rating for the concept, the photos, and whatever cakes you do fancy once I add more in the future. Someone rated it 1, so I guess they hate cake lol. | ||

I can vouch for this, banana bread at least is AMAZING, when well made its one of the nicest things ever, and I've heard good things about zuccini bread as well. Also good to see that I wasn't the only one to read banking ! baking>banking | ||

Bread is kind of someone else's domain in our house, but once I've got a loaf tin then I'll definitely have a crack at it. I did make banana bread in the past, and I remember it being really good. I never quite branched out beyond that though ^_^; | ||

I suppose I could do some step by step stuff too, but at the moment the processes are really simple (Throw stuff into bowl, mix, put in cake tin, bake.) so I didn't think it'd be too interesting (hence the lack of recipes.) | ||

They sound intriguing. + Show Spoiler + Potato Chip Cookies adapted from Taste of Home “Best Summer Desserts” 1 cup butter 3/4 cup granulated sugar 3/4 cup packed brown sugar 2 eggs 2 cups all-purpose flour 1 tsp baking soda 2 cups crushed potato chips 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips Preheat oven to 375 degrees. In a large bowl, cream the butter and sugars until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs. Combine the flour and baking soda and slowly add to the creamed sugars. Mix well. Stir in the potato chips and chocolate chips. Drop by small spoonfuls onto an ungreased baking sheet. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown. Cool for 1 minute before removing to a wire rack. I try to use plain (salt) thick cut crinkle cut. As I find these give the best texture at the end. Usually its the cheapest pack on the shelf at Aldi. I also use White Choc Chips now. As i like the flavour more. The problem I have the most is getting the mixture right to not make them go all flat and smooshy and to retain there shape as cookies. But I think thats just my inexperience and probably my ovens too hot. | ||

I believe people who do most of that are called food styalists and near 90% of what they make is inedible! On topic. Cakes look delicious and as someone who loathes baking beyond all belief I would actually be interested in aquiring that coconut sponge cake recipe if you will let me have it. It looks delicious and I love almost universally all things coconut. | ||
