tips and ideas

Decorating is something that brings joy and excitement to many peoples lives. Every event needs decorating; Birthdays, Anniversaries and many more, however in the baking industry, decoration is key to EVERYTHING! Think about it. You have a choice between a plain boring mud cake and the same cake but this time with flowers and candles on top. I’d choose the second option too. This brings us to the next point which is that every decoration suits a different type of event. It can be a birthday party, religious event or anything else! Here are some ways to decorate cakes and cupcakes.

Cakes

To begin with we’ll be looking at ways to decorates cakes which are often used in important events and need to be decorated with something special. I’m talking about something majestic and rich, like roasted nuts! Or chocolate drip! Or flowers! They all sound pretty fancy, don’t they? All these decorations will add colour and life to your cake. For example, one good way to decorate a cake using simple items is by glazing chocolate over the top and finishing with strawberries as seen on our chocolate strawberry cake. This combination creates a very beautiful colour tone. Some other simple but beautiful decorations are flower bunches or candies which can really bring colour and spirit to your cake. An example of this is seen on the layered Persian love cake.

Cupcakes

Lastly, some tips on how to decorate cupcakes and some recommended ingredients to decorate with. Since cupcakes are much smaller than cakes it is best to decorate them with more solid items such as chocolate cubes or fresh fruit pieces instead of crushed nuts or chocolate glaze/drip. You can also use items such as fresh berries, buttercream frosting or even dried up rosebud!

Our ways to decorate cakes and cupcakes

At Azidelicious, all of our decorations are natural, and we avoid using any items with food colouring which is why We decorate most of our cakes with flowers or chocolate glaze and we use fresh berries, buttercream frosting or rosebud for our cupcakes. For example, the refreshing mix assorted box is a great example of how to decorate cupcakes. This box uses lots of natural ingredients like rosebud, pistachios and fresh berries.

Hope these tips helped and remember that there is always a healthier option!

Cupcakes for the Bride and Groom

Getting married is one of the most important events throughout life. Marriage is a union, a bond; and most importantly a life’s worth path ahead of two people who are going to be side by side forever. Obviously, it is VERY important to celebrate your marriage the right way!

Food is an important aspect in a wedding. Wedding food consists of snacks, main course, side dishes and dessert. Each one of these food categories play an important role in a wedding, and without one, the others won’t work out!

Lets have a closer look at each one of these food categories!

Snacks – snacks or finger foods play quite an important role, this is because they help avoid having hungry guests before the main courses and they’re a great way to keep the guests entertained. These snacks can be homemade or store-bought; some common ones are kebab skewers, chips or even popcorn!

Main course – the main course can probably be classified as the most important meal of the wedding. Your main course can depend on the wedding theme or your personal choice. There is an extremely vide range of main courses to pick from. Larger choices could be steak or pork chops, while smaller options include sandwiches and salads.

Cakes. They are one of the most enjoyable deserts in the world! They come in different sizes, shapes, flavours and are easy to find no matter where you are. Over history, more and more features have been added to cakes and more recipes have been developed. But what is the most popular cake?

But here is the big question…What is the most popular cake?

What’s the most popular cake? The answer to this question isn’t as simple as you think. Each part of the world has a different cuisine and taste, which means each country has a different cake which is “most popular”. Although some of the cakes like chocolate and vanilla are most popular cakes in general all around the world. Here in Australia, we don’t really have a favourite cake, but we do have a few nationally loved desserts such as banana bread, pavlova and lamingtons.

Middle Eastern Flavours

At Azidelicious, our cakes are based around the Middle Eastern flavours, which are quite different to the ones in the west. Let’s see why these flavours are different. The following are some of the most popular authentic Middle Eastern ingredients that make them unique and different:

Rosewater – originating in ancient Persia, rosewater is a flavoured water which is from steeping rose petals in water. Rosewater has antiseptic and antibacterial properties which means it has medicinal benefits such as healing wounds, cuts, burns, and even scars faster! Almost sounds like magic! Also rosewater’s scent also makes it attractive in the perfume industry.

Cardamom – native to South India, cardamom is comes from the seed pods of the cardamom plant. Cardamom is a close relative to ginger and turmeric and has been around for around a thousand years! As old as Vikings! Cardamom adds amazing flavour to food and is also a great helper in the digestion system!

Cinnamon – Cinnamon is a spice straight from the inner bark of many Cinnamomic tree species. Cinnamon is mostly used as an aromatic condiment and flavouring ingredient in a broad range of cuisines, including sweet and savoury meals, cereals, snacks, tea, and traditional foods. This spice is native to Sri Lanka and has been around since 2800 B.C!

Saffron – being another Persian icon, saffron is known for being the most expensive spice in the world. Saffron is a key element in a range of middle eastern food from savories to desserts. Also, it is very easy to add to your diet, plus it has benefits such as improved mood, enhanced weight loss and cancer fighting properties. A must try!

Celebrating something is what brings many people together and gives them the feeling of joy, especially as celebration is loved all around the world. It is a world tradition to celebrate joyful events such as birthdays, weddings and many more and cakes are a part of nearly every celebration from ancient times up to now. However, there are things to consider before ordering selecting and ordering a celebration cake. Below we address the most important ones.

Flavour of the Cake

Different events and different people require different flavours. For example, for a child’s birthday cake you would need to pick some of the flavours which are the kids favourites such as chocolate cake or vanilla cake. However, for events with adults such as weddings and anniversaries, there is a wider range of flavours to choose from. Some options could be a red velvet cake or a black forest cake. How to pick the right flavour is what leads to the next paragraph. At Azidelicious we have introduced our Layered Persian Love Cake as one of the best options for any adult’s celebration events.

Theme of the event

Choosing the right cake also enables you to think more seasonal. This means picking the type of the cake which suits the season well. For example, the freshening options such as lemon cake and orange blueberry cake are best for summer where’s warmer options such as chocolate cake or banana caramel cake are good for winter.

Price budget

Depending on the size and type of event, you might like to set yourself different price budgets. As the scale of the event gets bigger the price also rises. At Azidelicious, our celebration cakes have a wide price range from 100-500 dollars allowing you to explore the different sizes and flavours while having a set budget.

Dietary requirements

It is very common for different dietary requirement to appear within your guests or the participants of the event. Some popular dietary requirements are being vegan, being allergic to nuts or celiac disease which means gluten free. It is important to mention any dietary requirements in your order to prevent reactions. At Azidelicious, we offer gluten free, nut free and vegan options in our cakes.

Size of the cake

You need to be sure of the number of attendees as it will determine the size of your cake. It is always a good idea to consider even 20-30% more. We offer a variety of sizes and flavours in our celebration cakes to help you pick the right one! Smaller layer cakes are suitable for smaller events and serve approximately 25 people. However, the larger cakes which are for weddings and major events serve around 40-50 people.

At the end of the day, a good cake is a part of a good celebration and a good memory. Celebrating events properly is very important to us at Azidelicious.

It has never so easy to make your cupcakes look professional! This can easily be done with simple ingredients that are available in every kitchen!

• Make your own frosting: If you are going to use frostings like buttercream, cream cheese or whipped cream, why not make them at home? Store bought frostings taste too sweet and artificial and can easily ruin the taste of your cupcakes. Not to mention how much healthier homemade frostings are! It is very crucial that your homemade frosting has the right consistency. If it is too thin it won’t hold together well and if it is too thick it can be very hard to work with.
• Use a piping bag: Select your favourite piping nozzle and with just a little practice you can make a clean and impressive pipe. Your cupcakes will thank you 🙂
• Uniformity: Make sure to get the exact same amount of batter in each liner. The best way is to use a scoop or a spoon to fill the cupcake liners. Many people eyeball the amounts, but this usually leads to uneven cupcakes.
• Use natural ingredients for decorating: There are many natural ingredients around that you can easily decorate or garnish your cupcakes with. Skip the crappy chemicals and preservatives, use fruits and vegetables to create your own natural dyes instead! Fresh fruits are such a lovely way to top a cupcake.
• Care about cupcake liners: If you want your cupcakes to come out pretty and classy after baking them use greaseproof liners.
• Choose a colour for the liner that match with the colour of the cupcake batter. These little things can change the outcome more than you think.
• Last but not the least, don’t forget to make your cupcakes with love!

There are some important tips for baking the best cupcakes out there. If you follow these tips here today, I gauratee you the best cupcakes you have ever made!

• The first step is to follow the recipe and copy the steps exactly. For example If the recipe calls for butter go with butter and do not substitute oil instead. Try finding another recipe with the substitute if you don’t have a required ingredient.
•   The second important tip is to use room temperature ingredients. This step is very important and necessary for good cupcakes.
• Measure the ingredients with care. Precision in measuring gives you same results every time.
• It is crucial to never over mix the batter. Mix it until just everything combined well. Some recipes might even tell you how long you should mix for. Make sure you don’t overmix!
• Use high quality cupcake cases and do not overfill them. If you add too much batter your cupcakes will overflow in the oven and leave you with one hell of a mess. Pour the batter until two thirds full.
• Do not over-bake the cupcakes. Always set the timer 5 minutes earlier than what the recipe calls for. Over baking them will result in dry cupcakes.
• It is better to use a scoop to fill cupcake cases. Try not to eyeball it. Eyeballing might look even, but will probably result in uneven cupcakes
• let the cupcakes cool on a wire rack and do not leave them in the pan. The heat from the pan can cause the cupcakes to  overcook.
• Always preheat the oven 15 minutes in advance and use oven thermometer if you have one.

Moist cupcake recipes

When it comes to eating cake or cupcake most of the people love to have them moist and tender. Below is a simple recipe when there are simple steps to bake moist and fluffy cupcakes to enjoy every single bite of it!

• 1 1/2 cups self-raising flour
• 1/2 cup caster sugar
• 120g butter, melted
• 2 tablespoons oil
• 3/4 cup milk
• 1 egg, lightly beaten
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

 Use cake flour:

The simplest way to do this is using cake flour. In fact, cake flour produces the soft and more tender cupcakes. If you don’t have cake flour at home, you can make it with the combination of all-purpose flour and cornstarch. To make this, simply measure one cup all-purpose flour and then remove two tablespoons of it. Measure two tablespoons corn-starch and add to the flour. Corn-starch contains less gluten than flour, so it’s a wonderful tenderizing ingredient to make cake flour.

Add sour cream:

The other way is just adding sour cream to your batter. One of the ingredients that make your cupcake moist is sour cream or yogurt instead. The acid in sour cream and yogurt tenderizes the gluten in the flour.

Add oil:

Even if your cupcake recipe calls for butter you can add two tablespoons of oil as oil makes cupcakes moister.

Don’t over mix:

Over mixing can lead to cupcakes that are tough and gummy.

Don’t over bake:

An over baked cupcake can be dry and firm. Insert a toothpick into the centre of the cupcake to see if the crumb has set. If it comes out clean, it’s done.

Brush the cupcakes with a simple syrup or other liquids:

First let the cupcakes get cool, then brush or spray some syrup on the cupcakes. Keep them in an airtight container or a cupcake box in room temperature.

The way you do cupcake Delivery:

If you own a cupcake business or wholesale bakery that supply cupcakes to cafes, the way you deliver the cupcakes affects how moist your products can be. It is better always to use airtight container or cupcake box for this purpose.
