Away til May 18

May 01, 2009 | From the kitchen of Rose

Dear Friends,

I'll be in France on vacation for two weeks. There will be a new posting each Saturday as usual and each Wednesday a new You Tube link will be posted as well.

Do continue to post and answer postings.

Happy Baking,

Rose

Cindy, I always add syrup to rose's butter cakes, specially the downy yellow or the perfect all american chocolate, unless you are eating the cake the same day or always if you feel it is too dry.

Be aware that the crust is always dry after the cake has cooled, but after you wrap it tight or frost it, the crust will soften in a matter of 2 hours or so.

Hi! I've just tried your yellow cake recipe from The Cake Bible. It looks beautiful - rose very evenly and has a very delicate crumb. The only problem is that it's way too dry, can't really serve it to guests as planned. I followed the instructions carefully and used baking strips for even baking, didn't use a moistening syrup, iced with chocolate buttercream. Any suggestions? Thanks!

Have a great trip!
