Coffee Cake
What does this remind you of? To me, it reminds me of the time when we will receive a box of assorted cakes like this whenever there was a wedding in the family. I remember we used to receive them whenver a relative or friend was getting married. Maybe to the younger generation, they will not understand the early days traditions. Nowadays, cakes are given in the form of cake gift voucher where you can redeem at the cake shop at your own convenience. Even the vouchers can be mailed instead of the wedding couples or family members sending it door to door. I suppose this really saves time and it is hassle-free for the busy to be married couple.

Oh yes, it reminds me of the same thing, really miss this kind of cakes.

Thank you.

Michelle,
The receipe is the same as the spongecake recipe already in my blog. What I did was to heat up the 25 ml of milk with about 1 heapful tablespoon of coffee powder to be added to the batter. I have also added some coffee emulco (like 1 tbsp) for the colour and smell.
Thank you for your quick reply :)
Regards,
Michelle
the coffee cake concept you mentioned is new to me, thanks for sharing things of the past which we might not be aware of. :)
Yes, I remember when I was a kid and there would be much excitement when someone came with a wedding invitation and a box of cake! Those cakes were like the best thing on earth!!!!! I agree the younger generation will not understand ...... nostalgia......
Hugbear, what is the transparent cream in blue and red made of? The other cream is fresh cream right?
Wow! These sure brought back memories! I love these kind of cakes when I was young, actually even now. I wish to do sth like this sometimes. Did you use buttercream or fresh cream? I remembered the old days, these cakes are usually in buttercream. How/where to get those transparent gel (the red and blue) on the cake?
It should be buttercream but I used freshcream since they are the leftover from the cupcakes that I made. The blue and red gel is actually piping gel. I just added colours of my choice.
hi.. my son is in love with these types of cakes. he loves the cream and the gel. it's not easy to find in the confectionary shops these days. you inspired me to make my own. thanks! :)
