Question: what led to the graininess of the frosting? I've always wondered about that; too much butterfat? I am slightly surprised (but pleased as punch) to inspire a bake and a post from you.

Yesterday I baked again. As in my 1st attempt, the 1st day was burnt and patches of holes. I use 1/4 cup per layer. The final lapis was uneven and undistinct layers. Can you help me?

It's not easy to get butter and sugar to mix smoothly without the addition of any liquid. :) Which is why I prefer italian meringue buttercream over the typical American beat-your-butter-till-smooth-and-add-icing-sugar kind of frosting. Learner: Are you saying that the very bottom layer was burnt or the top layer? For kueh lapis, the very bottom layer tends to be a little browner with some bubbles. Uneven layers: You're probably not spreading the batter evenly enough and you definitely need to press every layer down with the fondant-smoother-like metal tool and poke holes into each layer before spreading the batter on. Undistinct layers: You're most likely not baking each layer long enough - each layer should be lightly golden brown. Ivan: It’s the amount of icing sugar.

The bottom layer was burnt with holes. What is a fondant-smoother-like metal too? My lapis so bad cannot take photo to show. I use a 8"x8"x3" tray and use 1/4 cup per layer. Guess 1/4 cup per layer too little? I enjoy baking the layers. BTW do teach baking? Thanks Karen…thanks for your time. The bottom layer was burnt with holes.

The tool is just a flat rectangular piece of metal with a handle attached to one of the flat sides for you to hold on to when you press down on the cake. I usually use just enough batter to cover the previous layer. I used to teach macarons and decorated cookie classes, but not at the moment (have a full-time job). Happy baking!

My personal favourite (after a gazillion trials), is the Swiss meringue buttercream. But I do agree on the Italian meringue BC, it is gorgeous and silky! I wonder, how do you get that pretty BC swirl in the pics? Is it a particular piping tip? nikki ^_^ Beautiful, Karen!

I try to make macarons many times but all were failures. I went to a class at Anna culinary and try to make according to the teacher but it was also unsuccessful. I tried using egg white powder too but again failure... I tried making itailian merigue but the sugar syrup solidify after i pour it in the egg whites, so it is was also unsuccessful. I really want to make macaron and not flat cookie like "things". Hopefully you can help ? Thank you. Hi,
