Birthday Cake

This is for a little 3-year boy who is allergic to milk, cream and cheese. He loves fruits and I was told that for the past years, he cut the cake but never ever get to taste it. So this year, I hope he can have a slice of his birthday cake.....Happy Birthday.

Hello Aunty Yo, I know how this little boy feels, because I have the same problem...no milk, no cheese and no butter for me as well..lactose intolerant...they called it. You are so nice to bake this lovely cake for his birthday, I'm sure he will enjoy every bit of it...

Hi Anna,

In fact I used an optima sponge cake and buttercream base which have been posted in my blog already. The decor is up to you. I have put up my creations, so you can follow.

that is very thoughtful of you, aunty.I'm sure the birthday boy will enjoy eating his birthday cake. BTW, i would like to ask you about the eggs. If the recipe calls for 6 egg yolks and when you break 3 eggs and get 6 egg yolks, you count 3 or 6 egg yolks? what about the whites?

Hi Aunty Yochana

Thanks for sharing this.

My son is just like the little boy - he's got cow's milk allergy. I would have to scrutinize the loaves of bread we usually just grab from the shelves. It has made me realise how often we take things for granted.

And thank goodness, he loves to eat the cakes and biscuits I bake, using modified recipes. :)

Oh dear. Poor boy! I'm sure he loves this cake :)

I do have a silly question to ask though. What kind of colouring brand do you use? Recently, I made buttercream using the recipe that you posted and put some buttercream with colouring.

Problem is everyone who eats the cake, looked like they've just eating betel leaf. I tried changing colour to blue and the effect is the same. I didnt dare to use colouring on my buttercream since.

Hope you can let me know what brand/type of colouring you use.

The little boys kept saying the whole night "Mummy, my birthday cake".

On behalf of my fren, I would like to thank you from the bottom of our heart.

God bless,

Marrie

Hi Yan,

Hi delia,

It all depends on the size of the egg yolk. Take by weight then, weigh the egg yolks - it should weigh about 20 gm. each.

Hi Aunty,
It's heartening to know that u've baked a non-dairy cake for the b'day boy! Thumb-up for your effort and compassion. After reading ur blog, it reminds me that there are many people having food allergy.I hope that there's a break through in medi science to cure such condition. Wishing all of u gd health.

Cheers!

Dear Aunty Yo

Oh no! the buttercream is awesome. but the moment I put colouring, the lips will turn whatever colour I put. For eg, if I put pink, my lips and tongue will turn pink too because of the colouring.

So I was wondering, is it the brand of colouring that I'm using or is there a better tactic to put colouring?

I didnt use all the buttercream. i took some, put in a bowl, add colouring and mix it well...but i ended up looking like i'm ready for halloween.

Hi Yan,

what brand did you use? Your colouring might not be the right one. I have a set which is for colour spray...which means you use a machine , fill in the colouring and spray onto the cake.

Hi Halimah

I bought Value Pride from Sun Lik. I understand that some whip cream is non-Halal. Perhaps you would like to check-up and let me know too...I'm curious tho.

Dear Aunty Yo

You're using a spray? As in airbrush method? I bought Wilton from Phoon Huat. Maybe it's not suitable for buttercream.

March 03, 2009 11:23 pm
Aunty Yochana said...

Yes Yan,

It's air brush.

What a lovely birthday cake! Well done. I am sure the boy must have been delighted.

Here are some useful tips if you need to bake without milk or without eggs. Milk in the recipe can be easily replaced by soya milk, butter by milk-free margarine. With eggs it's a bit worse, but you can boil some linseed in water and then add the liquid to your dough. It helps to give the dough the right consistency (you can even made pancakes without eggs this way).

Hi aunty,
Thanks again. I have not heard of any whipping cream that is non-halal. To what i know, whipping cream is made from cow's milk and the non-dairy whip cream is definitely halal. I'll look see the next time i go down to phoon huat and let you know ya....
