Procedure:
It takes 24 cupcakes to make my D'lish Donut cupcake cake.  Shape the cupcakes like so.  The 2 cupcakes that sticking out on both sides are D'lish's hands.


Spread royal icing at the bottom of all the cupcakes to stop it from moving around.




Fill one of the icing bag with light brown icing and the other icing bag with pink icing.


Using light brown buttercream outline the shape of D'lish. Pipe buttercream on the 2 cupcakes for her hands. (see video)


Smooth out the light brown icing.  You will only need to completely cover the outer edge. Don't worry if a bit of the cupcake is showing through because huge part of the cake will be covered by the pink butterc…

Chiffon cakes are my favourite cakes.  They are fluffy, moist and delicious.  Since its fluffy and light I wonder if it will hold its fluffiness if I turn it into a gluten free type cake.  I replaced my regular cake flour with my DIY GLUTEN FREE CAKE FLOUR
To make DIY Gluten Free Cake Flour measure out 2 cups Koda Farms Mochiko sweet rice flour into a small bowl and scoop out 2 tablespoons of sweet rice flour.  Add 2 tablespoons of cornstarch to the rice flour.  Stir with a whisk.  NOTE:  Mochiko sweet rice flour is smoother than the regular white rice flour.  I made a mistake of using white rice flour and the cupcake has a dent and its gritty.  It was gross! Next is the baking powder.  Generally baking powder is already gluten free.  Some baking powder brands uses wheat starch into their product so check the label.  Make sure there are no wheat products in the ingredients.  If you are looking for baking powder that is aluminium free buy organic baking powder.
