Does anyone know of a web chat for baking? How to finish these cakes?
Q. I made some great white cupcakes, finally found a recipe I can live with. Now I want to experiment with fillings and frostings. I have apricot preserves and some semi-sweet choc and some white choc. Hummm what to do? I don't want to go to the store :). I have all the other basics (sugar, vanilla etc.) Oh, and this is a big, big, football weekend where I come from. Colors are orange (burnt) and white. Decorating ideas would be appreciated! (I have the Wilton gels and pastery bags etc.)

What recipes do you think are basic for a girl's collection of recipes ... or a boy, if he likes to cook?
Q. Hi A friend of mine told me that when she was 9, her mother started her out with a recipe for a vanilla cake, and one for a chocolate cake .. and then they worked on frostings and fillings ... etc. What do you consider basic recipes for a child's collection? Please, no stuff from websites ... I would like to know what YOU think! Did you have a recipe stash when you were young? I did ... I started with fruit drinks. Ta!
