Baking Post 2017 N0.22- BakingBoutique's 2nd birthday+Pumpkin&Caramel Cake PHOTOS

Saludos,compañeros panaderos!

First and foremost, I'd like to acknowledge the fact that I've published two posts in one day. Perhaps shortly after you view the photos of my latest creation or now,even, I urge you to check out the other post I composed earlier today here! I also leave a link of today's 1st post at the end.

BakingBoutique has endured a rather swift two years. They've raced by at tremendous speed, without even permitting time to look back at all the astounding accomplishments I've achieved. Over the two years, I've gained and lost baking expertise. I share my baking experiences with you, in hope that you'll get something out of my posts...perhaps a "ooh,that looks nice" or a "ahh I want to try that". Whatever you have derived from BakingBoutique, I am the most GRATEFUL! Thank you to all who have supported BakingBoutique over the last two years-this can vary from commenting on my blog to COLLABORATING with me to making me smile. All I appreciate to a extend you cannot sustain!😂 

Thank you to all the inspirational bloggers and YouTubers(a few I may leave at the end) who have motivated me to persist in what I'm pursuing,even when at times it all gets too much. 

Lastly, a generous thank you to Blogger! Without Blogger, this blog wouldn't exist. Without any further rambling, here I furnish the photos of the Pumpkin and Caramel Cake, in gratitude of BakingBoutique turning 2! Enjoy:

Baking Post 2017 N0.21- Likes of October!

😁😘Saludos compañeros panaderos!

I neglected my "favorites of the month" for awhile. Therefore, I present you with my likes of October 2017!😁😄

First and foremost, recipes.

Blackberry and Mallow Traybake- ever since I made this post a couple weeks back,I've become in love with the recipe. Although it requires more effort than usual and an abundance in ingredients, the ending result is phenomenal and it goes down really well.


Baked Fruity Autumn Pudding- I made this around the same time last year and it went down a real treat. The kitchen wafted with cinnamon and it was such a autumnal scent while baking in the oven.

Spiced Toffee Apple Cake- I am yet to bake this. Firts of all, it sounds AMAZING and according to its source, it's super simple to make,I hope. To be frank, I've enevr had a toffee apple so experimenting the toffee apple flavor in a cake will be interesting for sure.

Pumpkin Spice Cake with Honey Frosting- to me the "honey frosting" caught my attention. I've never encountered a recipe which requires honey for the frosting so I was rather intrigued by this recipe,if anything.

Apple-Cinnamon, Upside-Down Cake-I like this cake for several reasons-it incorporates fruit which may suggest an element of healthiness(2017 has been the year where I;ve incorporated a lot of fruits into my baking to try and make baking cakes more healthy and easy,in a way).

Food:

Next, are favorites on food in general, no more baking!😅

Buddha Bowl Meal Prep- as a matter of fact, I perceived this recipe from Tasty, a BuzzFeed YouTube channel who basically videos dinners,desserts,healthy snacks and and everything "tasty". 

😋delectable

Caribbean Beef Patties- I live to eat Caribbean Beef Patties! These are absolutely mouth-watering, whether purchased freshly from a Caribbean bakery or in a packet from a supermarket, I recommend you to try!

Reggae Reggae Nachos- this Caribbean-inspired food is derived from Levi Roots,as a matter of fact. The picture displays its beauty and Caribbean vibes! I would love to have a try myself.😍😋😋

Trends-this is merely other articles I've had a liking for, besides foods!

Yankee Autumn Night Candle-this candle has decadence  of Autumnal scents,inviting a "brisk earthiness and dreamy interludes of lavender and woodland notes" ,according to Yankee Candle's website. I can quite agree, in fact.

Zara Wonder Rose £9.99- I am currently wearing this scent as I compose this post and it's fantastic. It lasts for hours and hours and has a rejuvenating yet a subtle redolence about it. It's for what it's worth.

Zoella Gelat'Eau Body Mist £8.00- Now, I don't favor this product particularly because it's produced by Zoella. No I like this perfume because it's scent is fabulous-it's almost like a satsuma/orangery scent, in my opinion. It wondrous and a treat to spritz.

Woolly hats- I love them! They have this tumblr,typical Autumn-y vibe about them which I adore. They're great with any Autumn-like outfit and ah I just love them!

I foudn this funny-apparently it's a Thanksgiving hat😂

Scarves- they're comfy, adorable and go with any outfit. What's not to love?!

Belgium Hot chocolate-delicious,good-quality and a really endearing feeling about it.

Pumpkin Spice Latte- not many of my friends like it but I LOVE IT! I generally dislike coffee. Nonetheless, the Pumpkin Spice latte doesn't  taste like coffee at all but like a cup of Autumn and deliciousness!

Tropicana Pressed Apple- I have this every morning after I eat my breakfast. It's a nice thing to drink down my breakfast,tasted amazing and astoundingly, my face has gotten better.

Kiko Milano Precision Eyebrow: This is a reasonable price, draws onto skin fantastically. According to Kiko Milano's website, the product's formula contains high-melt waxes ensuring adherence,precision and a long lasting line."

Anthracite Grey Knitted Top(Zara)-fits my personal style and keeps me warm. 

Anime!!! I'm been obsessed with NigaHiga introduced me on Anime Superheroes!

Giphy- I love using it in my baking posts. It makes them more...light-hearted and fun, from where I stand,anyway.

YOU- I love each and every one of you, whether you're a stranger who's reading my blog or who's become familiar with my baking posts for quite some time. This wouldn't be worthwhile without you all watching.💘😘😘

Girls Life: It can be the only thing that entertains me or grants me inspiration for this blog,as a matter of fact.

Photography: Recently I've joined Photography Club. I've always had a liking for photography,through this blog actually. However, it's opened doors for me in terms of interaction, learning and a sense of achievement. 

I'm going to leave this favoruites posts at that. Comment below on what your favoruties for October are and I'll see you in my next post!

Recipe Post 2017 N0.19-Pumpkin and Caramel Cake

Happy October! It is unbelievable how the first week of October has spun by- "October,baptise me with leaves! Swaddle me in corduroy and nurse me with split pea soup.October,tuck tiny candy bars in my pockets and carve my smile into a thousand pumpkins. O autumn! O teakettle! O grace!"-Rainbow Rowell 

As it's officially Autumn, I have a preference to baking a cake,blends our likes of this time of the year.

To concoct this tiered cake, you'll require;

150g of caster sugar

150g of unsalted butter

4 large eggs

150g of self-raising flour

1tsp of baking powder

1 tsp of "pumpkin pie spice"(to make this specific spice will be 
mentioned below)

2tbsp of milk

210g of pumpkin puree


For the spread (optional)

4 tbsp of dulce de leche from a jar

70g of pecans,roughly chopped

For the filling:

225g full-fat cream cheese

125g of icing sugar

1tsp of "pumpkin pie spice"

½ x 425g of can pumpkin puree(to make your own pumpkin puree from scratch, seek recipe below)

440ml of double cream
                                                                                                           

How to make "pumpkin pie spice":
Combine ½ tsp of ground cinnamon,¼ tsp of ground ginger, ¼ tsp of nutmeg and a pinch of ground cloves.
                                                                                                           
How to conjure up your own pumpkin puree:

You merely need 1 whole pumpkin and water. First and foremost,slice the pumpkin into quarters,peel and further cut into chunks. *note: you may require assistance when cutting a whole pumpkin. 

Place your pumpkin chunks into a large saucepan,covering with water. Bring this to the boil. Cook this for 20 minutes, until the pumpkin is tender.

Drain well,allowing it to cool. Subsequently, puree the pumpkin either with a food processor or a potato masher. Once pureed, keep in a suitable container. Can be stored in a refrigerator for 3 days or in a freezer for 3-6 months.

NOW onto the actual method:
Firstly, preheat the oven to 180℃/160℃/Gas Mark 4. Grease and line the bases of TWO 23cm cake tins.

Beat together the caster sugar, butter until light and fluffy. Eventually, beat in the 4 large eggs. Mix the self-raising flour alongside the baking powder and "pumpkin pie spice".

Fold this into the cake batter. Mildly fold in the milk and the cooled pumpkin puree. Do this until well combined.


Dispute the mixture into your prepared cake tines. Bake the cakes for 22-25 minutes,when a skewer inserted in the centre comes out clean. Allow to cool.

Briefly, beat the cream cheese in a medium-sized bow,until fluffy. Add in the icing sugar, spice and remaining pumpkin puree.

Beat this until smooth. Be cautious of overbeating, or else the icing will grow runny. Separately, whip the cream, gently folding in the cream cheese mix.

At the point when the cakes are cooled, cut up each cake in half;at the end, you'll have four thin cakes. Position the bottom layer,by choice, onto a plate. Spread over 1 tbsp of dulce de leche,following a quarter of filling. Repeat this step untiil you have a grand tower of pumpkin,cake,caramel and cream. Garnish with pecans and auge(boom)!
