We definitely need a plan for the egg whites. <br /><br />Rachelino,<br />Because probably everyone (including me), has forgotten the guidelines, I'm going to put them where they're more visible. You only need to bake twice a month to remain a member in good standing. The chocolate-pomegranate wedding cake with the new chocolate glaze sounds amazing. I haven't tackled that glaze yet, but it's coming up soon. I agree with Jenn--I hope you post pictures!Mariehttp://www.heavenlycakeplace.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8882070718279731833.post-7330502791368472192009-11-06T12:18:36.858-08:002009-11-06T12:18:36.858-08:00Rachelino, thanks!

If the recipe is made for a larger angel food pan, you can make 2/3 of the recipe for a typical bundt pan. However, I am not sure whether a true angel food cake (all egg whites and no oil) as opposed to a chiffon cake (beaten whites with yolks/oil) would rise the same way in a bundt pan, and I don't have the book handy.<br /><br />Marie- You know what's funny....I didn't realize that it was an option to not bake every cake once I started! I must have missed that critical piece of info somewhere. I may skip the oblivions because my house loves lemon (so cannot skip that, my husband would kill me), I still have to get my pumpkin post up, and I am making a wedding cake for 11/14! (A pomegranate/dark chocolate cake with the lacquer glaze if I can manage it.

The Lemon Cake requires 17 egg yolks so we will have A LOT of egg whites left. I know we can freeze them, but I thought it would be good to put them to use soon and not let it be forgotten in the fridge. Of course I said that and I don't have angel food pan, :). I don't know if we can use bundt pan?Jennhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11717898669803221775noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8882070718279731833.post-91778634395059933002009-11-06T08:22:31.141-08:002009-11-06T08:22:31.141-08:00Kristina,

I checked on line, and the standard advice is that you can get them between December and February, so I'm going to schedule that cake sometime in January and hope that at least some of us will have access to Seville oranges.<br /><br />Rebecca,<br />Point well taken. I need to remember that not everyone lives in the upper Midwest in the U.S. and not everyone celebrates Christmas. I'll try to include at least one cake in December that's suitable for Australian summers and the Singapore heat.<br /><br />ECL,<br />If only you lived in MN, we could share a pan!<br /><br />Rachelino,<br />I used the little pyrex custard cups (at least that's what I call them), but I would think that ceramic ramekins would also work. Not silly at all--it's not a surprise that you can't read my mind.<br /><br />Hanaa,<br />I love lemon myself, and am really looking forward to Woody's cake, even though it requires icing skills. The Catalan pinch cake sounds very intriguing, doesn't it?<br /><br />Rebecca,<br />I had a couple of versions of Pavlova when I was in Australia and NZ--one was excellent and one was not so good. Probably about the same ratio of good to bad that you'd get in the US with a random sampling of apple pie.Mariehttp://www.heavenlycakeplace.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8882070718279731833.post-57999810145088550652009-11-05T20:14:26.300-08:002009-11-05T20:14:26.300-08:00Rebecca, at least you get winter in Australia...we...Rebecca, at least you get winter in Australia...we are forever summer in Singapore!

When you say you made them in custard pan, do you mean ceramic ramekins? (as for small souffle or individual creme brulee?) <br />Just checking--I think the terms ramekins and custard cups are used interchangeably. <br />Sorrry if this is a silly question: I think it might help any other bakers that are in the same situation.Rachelinohttp://scratch.typepad.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8882070718279731833.post-52197253516651659122009-11-05T04:45:13.551-08:002009-11-05T04:45:13.551-08:00That's a very good point, Rebecca!

By the time I solidified this plan, I'm sure several had already bought their chocolate for the Baby Oblivions. ;) Besides, this cake would be better suited to the season where you can actually get the Seville oranges (supposedly closer to Februray).<br /><br />That being said, Sticky Toffee Pudding, English Gingerbread, and the Holiday Pinecone cake all seem like good choices to me for December.

It seems to me like there are already a few who signed up that I haven't seen a single post from, but they could just be slow getting started.<br /><br />I have a semi-related question. If we bake something from the book out of sequence, would you prefer if we wait to blog about it until the group does that cake?
