Let’s talk about the Old Fashioned. It is said that “to drink one is to taste the original, primordial cocktail” that will transport you back in time to the fist time it was served in the opulent bar of the Waldorf Astoria in NYC. Well, today we would like to present the new-fangled, Old Fashioned Cake. Layers of orange and naartjie infused sponge, drenched in lightly spiced cherry infused whiskey syrup, filled with orange and cherry buttery buttercream and covered in a white chocolate whiskey mousse. Bitters infused, candied orange peel and hand-made bourbon white chocolate truffles adorn the top of this cake. It is so sinful and booze-filled that it would make the original bourbon aristocrat, James Pepper, proclaim Made to Bake to be the modern day Cake Queen. Would we serve anything less to one of the classist gals in EL for her birthday?!

All cookies are not made equal! But that doesn’t mean that you should have a subpar cookie just because you into some new age eating. These little beauts are packed full of all the good stuff whilst being vegan and keto. That’s right no animals were robbed or harmed during the making of these chocolate and peanut butter cookies.

On this 1000st day of January 2021, we thought we would remind you that V-day is just around the corner. So instead of moping about the state of the world and this seemingly endless month start dreaming about about your special someone on a special day. Mjolo might be made illegal, and dates will have to be wineless and socially distanced but you can still enjoy some moist delight by getting your cake face on. Remember a couple who eats their cake together stays together.

Just because we haven’t been posting doesn’t mean we haven’t been baking. The weight of ending off 2020 may have taken the joy out of cake photography and constant posting but it sure didn’t kill our whisking spirit. Happy new year to all our CakeFace fans. We know 2021 is turning out to be much of the same but before you get too down order a cake. The carrot, pecan nut and banana helps with recovery and getting your five a day, so keep your new years resolution and have your cake too! You know you want to

In a time where everything is rushed and staged (and strange) it becomes important to turn to the old for tradition. Last night I baked the beautiful Gâteaux de Mamie, (granny cake) a cake that everyone and their grandma can make in France. This recipe was developed to be measured out in the traditional glass yoghurt containers found in France. This cake is quick to make and it is truly satisfying to watch the glaze be sucked in. The tangy lemon and yoghurt flavor is perfectly balanced by the crispy sweet glaze and the fist bite even had my 5 year old saying . I bake whenever I am going through difficult emotions, baking is a meditation - it knows if you are not baking with love or are distracted. So if you need a little pick me up, whip on your aprons and pull out your spatulas or I will do it for you. Happy last Friday of November 2020 May you all get a this weekend!

Introducing, her majesty, Reine de Saba (aka The Queen of Sheba)! Today our favorite cake face repeat offenders were treated to one of the most famous gateau’s to herald from France. This beauty is said to be the first cake Julia Child tasted when she arrived in Paris and the reason she fell in love with French Cooking. Be it true or not, who cares, if you love butter, chocolate and rum this Queen will make you say yum.

We may have been quiet but we haven’t hung up our whisk yet. We’ve had the most eventful time in our kitchen- we lost a stunner of a gluten-free chiffon cake when it wasn’t strong enough to hang upside down, fell in love with candied citrus peel and turned a white chocolate ganache into a frozen dream. Keep your eyes on our page because it’s almost fruit cake time and a big name baking fairy named Julia has indicated that we can expect a visit from a queen soon. I don’t think it will be the queen of fruit cake or the fruit cake queen but who knows. Happy Sunday cake face lovers!

We love to get creative with chocolate! We made this chocolate cake with a coffee Italian meringue buttercream look dapper wrapped in dark chocolate and topped with a milk and white chocolate ganche swirl. Or what about our abstract flower and ruffles on our carrot, banana and pecan nut cake. Are you dreaming about your chocolate covered cake face yet?

So many “congratulations your parents had a good Christmas” (aka bonus babies) birthday cakes the last week. Here at Made to Bake we love to make our birthday cakes extra special so please let us know when ordering one. Here we have a red velvet with a vanilla cream cheese frosting coated in an Italian meringue that we loving scorched with our new blow torch (yes using one is as cool as you think it is). A gluten-free carrot, banana, molasses cake coated in a lemon cream cheese frosting and white chocolate drip with loads of homemade caramel and candied pecans. Lastly we have our signature poppyseed cake wrapped in white chocolate and loaded with summer fruit. These cakes look so good we bet you can’t wait for Christmas (nudge nudge wink wink)
