This is another chocolate cake I decorated for the neighbour’s daughter’s birthday. The frosting is done with butter cream and the roses are made with candy clay. This was prepared before I started blogging. So I don’t have a step by step tutorial. I will be preparing a cake in 5 days for another neighbour. I will try to do a photo tutorial on the frosting techniques for that cake.
Your blog is a perfect guide for eggless recipes. Nice work.

can i knw where i get baking materials in madurai and even disposable plastic icing bag….!!!
I haven’t bought any disposable plastic bags in Madurai. I always use piping bags or butter paper cones. Piping bags, cake tins and nozzles are available at Ananda. You have to go to the first floor and enquire. If you ask at the ground floor, they will not respond.
Where do yu get icing colours in madurai..???
Dhana, I have answered it in the vanilla cake post. Please refer that. Thank You..
is there any place in madurai where i could get all the baking ingrediants in one place…any also a place where i could find muffin moulds,ramekins,cake moulds,cling film,butter paper,measuring cups…. 🙁 i wana bake too 🙁
Sindhu, I source from various shops. There is no one shop to get all the ingredients and moulds and tins. For tins and moulds, you need to try Anandha. For baking ingredients try Nilgiris or Nila Fruits…
thank you 🙂
Hi, where can I get piping bags nd butter sheet in mdu?
Baking papers are available at paper stores near Amman sannidhi but piping bags are not available in Madurai yet. I sourced them from Chennai..
Thank u. Got the butter sheet but couldn’t get the muffin liner. Is it available in mdu? Where did u get the pipping hag? I tried pappad jamal but it’s not available there.
You can get small cup cake liners near Rajmahal in the essence shops. But the normal liner is not available here. I bought the piping bag, nozzle set and liners at currimboys in Chennai.
Thank u. Will try there
Kindly tel me where measuring cups for baking can be bought in Madurai?? In dire need of baking..
You can try Nilgiris or Anandhas..
Thanks
Hi Gayathri.. Yummy reciepe.I have some questions:-I use ur chocolate cake recipe but can I use cake recipe for cupcake if yes then why my cupcake liners are coming out? Pls help.thanku
This happens with bad quality liners. Use so.e sturdy ones.
Thanku.and how should I store unfrosted, uncut cake n cupcakes and how long?
You can wrap it in two or three layers of cling films and store it in fridge for a week.
Thanku so much:)
Hi Gayathri, one question can I use powder colour in whipped cream?
You can use, but not directly. Add a few drops of water and mix well. Then add it to cream. Otherwise there will be speckles of colour in the cream..
