Rainbow cake..

Re: Rainbow cake..

I'm waiting for pics too, my frend took the pics cos i idn't have my camera. She'll send them today.

The colors didn't affect the taste, although i used liquid colors so it's more of a pastel rainbow cake. Couldn't find halal gel colors, apparently they are brighter in color.

Re: Rainbow cake..

I have the powdered and liquid colours but dont know if i could push myself to be that brave :bummer:

i’m on a diet and hubby is not into cakes so if i make it

its just the kids that are gonna have to finish it off - maybe i will make rainbow cupcakes instead

Re: Rainbow cake..

Ab food colors mein bhi halal/haram? :smack:

Re: Rainbow cake..

Yes i know it sounds a bit too much, but you wouldn’t believe what they put in some stuff. I checked my numbers off on this website:

And i made the cake to take to a friends place so i wanted to be extra careful. No harm in that

Re: Rainbow cake..

No, no harm in that at all....

Re: Rainbow cake..

More of a marbled rainbow cake

Re: Rainbow cake..

Hey that looks great! :slight_smile:

to get the bolder colours what type of colours do we use, gel?

Re: Rainbow cake..

yeah apparently gel colors are stronger. But i couldn't find any in my pind.

Re: Rainbow cake..

Even most vanilla essence/extracts contain alcohol :(

Re: Rainbow cake..

KS09 , that is an awesome looking cake ... I think the pastel shade makes it special ... seen so many really bright cakes but after a while they lose attraction ... but this look is nice and subtle and definitely much more attractive ... Well done ..

Re: Rainbow cake..

About Alcohol … I thought things like colors or medicines that use tiny bit alcohol were ok to use … coz they dont have the addictive properties :konfused : I could be wrong though …

Though I would say be careful about the halal element .. coz Pork fat or gel is used in many colors and that is a yukh option :hinna:

Re: Rainbow cake..

i checked on the back of my vanilla essence when i bought it and that had alcohol in it ( so gave it to gori neighbour )

so next time i got vanilla flavouring which doesnt contain alcohol

gonna check my colours too, btw where can i get gel colours from? asda?

Re: Rainbow cake..

I buy my vanilla extract from Sainsbury’s I think Its the only store that stocks non alcohol one http://www.mysupermarket.co.uk/sainsburys-price-comparison/Home_Baking/Silver_Spoon_Natural_Vanilla_Extract_38ml.html

RE: Coloured paste: I’ve never used this site but it was recommended in the back of a cup cake recipe book I brought recently. According to the Author coloured paste is the best thing to use as the liquid stuff changes the consistency of the mixture. janeasher.com - Colours

Re: Rainbow cake..

When alcohol is banned for some people in Australia, they will drink vanilla essence to get their hit! It used to be sold in 1/2 litre bottles, but now it's in tiny bottles, behind the counter. You can only buy it if you look like a cook!
