(CLOSED) Giveaway #53: Boutique Baking by Peggy Porschen

May 31, 2012 by Sarah / Maison Cupcake

giveaway-53-peggy-porschen-boutique-baking

Peggy Porschen’s new book Boutique Baking is a departure from her previous titles – rather than high end sugarcraft creations and celebrity style wedding cakes, the cakes in her new title are based on those sold in the Peggy Porschen Parlour.

The bakes are as exquisite as ever, Peggy is a baker who sets trends rather than follow them but there is plenty inside Boutique Baking for the less experienced baker to enjoy making without feeling intimidated.

There are tricks to vary things you may be baking already; Peggy’s tribute to the cake pop is served in an ice cream cone rather than on a stick, her macarons are cleverly feathered with food colouring streaked inside the piping tip. Cupcakes are obviously a huge seller in her parlour, my personal favourites here are the chic banoffee cupcakes with matching dark brown cases and blossoms and the Cosmo cupcakes based on the cocktail made with Cointreau.

Show stopper chapter has to be “luscious layer cakes” – Peggy presents a series of three layered cakes in an elegant 6 inch size. The piping on the Glorious Victoria Cake is effortlessly simple – I saw her demonstrate icing this cake at the Squires Sugarcraft Show where the room was packed full 45 minutes before the start time, such is her popularity amongst baking fans.

My standout cakes in the book are the raspberry and rose dome cake – I predict we’ll be seeing a lot more cakes this shape soon, the white chocolate passion cake decorated with birthday candles and triple berry cheesecakes. The whole thing is topped off with recipes for drinks from the parlour such as pink lemonade (it has to be pink if it’s at Peggy’s) and hot white chocolate with vanilla. With the recent hot weather I am especially desperate to try her summer berry ice tea.

Some recipes in the book use Peggy’s own jam range as ingredients although you could substitute with others. You could always though, if you’re near London, use it as an excuse to drop by the Parlour and buy some.

I baked a cake from Boutique Bakes last week and will be blogging it soon – needless to say I could do with some more Peggy Porschen classes as my buttercream was nowhere near as slickly applied as hers but I am looking forward to practicing some more!

    A three tier white chocolate and raspberry sponge cake covered in white icing BUT at the back there would be a Lego scene with Lego ‘builder’ figures and where they had ‘peeled’ back the white icing there would be a ‘wall’ of multi-coloured icing (to look like a wall made of Lego)!
    To add extra interest I’d have Lego figures doing funny things on the rear side of the cake – maybe one abseilign down the cake, another about to hang glide off it … you get the picture!!
    From the from the cake would look ‘normal’ – maybe some simple red ribbon around it as ‘dressing’ but seen from the back it would be Legotastic!!

  96. Sarah Hardy says
