Dilema to solve. I have customers whom are Muslim, hence no alcohol in cake. Well this particular cake I usually use Frangelico. I thought I could burn off or flambe the alcohol out of the liquor and use that. Then a friend/chef pointed me to this link http://www.ochef.com/165.htm So now I am all confused. The chart says 75% is still left behind after flaming..REALLY? Laws of physics tells me otherwise but now I don't know. I REALLY do not want to be serving these good folks alcohol. Any advice? Thanks everyon

Hi Tracii, it will burn off; however you can not get rid of all of it. Check Loraine.com to see if they have an alternative or let the customer know you have to make changes to meet their needs. Good Luck

Wednesday @ 11:54 am by redtiaraprincess

Ok so that method is a no go. Lorann has stuff but I have no idea what it is like so does Carmi . Ah a new experience for me! LOL Thanks

Wednesday @ 8:14 pm by TraciiVCL

Hi Tracii , ok I am clueless what that is Lol

Wednesday @ 8:41 pm by Sandys Sweets

Just leave it out -- they will 'burn in hell' and never get to paradise if they ever find out -- AND might want to take you with them LOL.

Wednesday @ 10:31 pm by kerry

Just substitute essences and pure fruit juices.

Wednesday @ 10:32 pm by kerry

After you are done figuring that one out Tracii, can you find out how to take the calories out of cake too!! TY

Wednesday @ 11:18 pm by cakedesire

SMARTIE PANTS DESI!!!!

Wednesday @ 11:54 pm by kerry

Ok I just snorted water out my nose laughing!!! I ordered 2 types of Lorann hazelnut and we will see which one is close to what I need it for. Note to self ...buy a fire suit & a scale that lies!! HA HA HA

Thursday @ 12:05 am by TraciiVCL

Sandy LOL=Laugh Out Loud

Thursday @ 12:17 am by TraciiVCL

LOL, indeed!!!

Thursday @ 12:25 am by kerry

ROFL my butt off y'all , opps caps didn't stick.

Thursday @ 12:33 am by Sandys Sweets

HAHAHA.... I guess I need a new scale Tracii!!!! ;)

Thursday @ 12:57 am by cakedesire

Interesting problem, I hpe you figure it out!!

Thursday @ 6:13 am by cakeswithcharacter

okay...clue me in....What kind of cake are you trying to make that requires alcohol??

Thursday @ 8:04 am by Sally Hackney

Muslims can't have booze and Tracii is trying to figure a way to substitute something.

Thursday @ 9:49 pm by kerry

Well wouldn't you know it, delivery is supposed to show up tomorrow... an we are leaving in the morning. Now I need to divert that till Tuesday hmmmmm

Thursday @ 11:32 pm by TraciiVCL

What's with the delivery???

Friday @ 10:18 pm by kerry

Lorann has chocolate hazelnut & creamy hazelnut. I ordered them both...with some other cake toys I have no idea how I ever got along without HE HE. UPS came Friday I was not here but my neighbour's were and they gladly met the UPS man & signed for my package. So I will be testing out these flavourings this week. I may boil down some nuts if this doesn't work.

05/10/12 @ 8:19 am by Sally Hackney

Thanks everyone!!!

05/10/12 @ 12:31 pm by cakedesire

Funny story Bonnie; when Shawn was talking to Dawson about his Birthday, Shawn asked him (thinking he already knew the answer) ... "... What kind of cake do you want for your Birthday..." Dawson answered " I want a BIG cake".... Shawn; "... and do we know someone who can make a cake like that???"..... Dawson; "..... uhmmmmm... YEAH Edna!!!!!"

05/10/12 @ 12:36 pm by cakedesire

HI ALL... just checking in from my desk here at work. I have been so busy buying a home in another state and trying to get the two I own here in NC ready to go on the market. I never thought I would own3 homes all at the same time. It sounds cool but not when it comes time to pay 3 mortgage payments! OUCH! Anyway... I think of all of you all the time and want to come by to sit and chat... but it looks like it will be awhile before my life settles back down enough to be able to do that again. In the mean

Love you Bon Bon!! I can't wait to see how you fix up that cute new house of yours!!

05/09/12 @ 2:06 pm by cakedesire

Good to hear from you Bonnie where will your new house be?

05/09/12 @ 7:17 pm by Sandys Sweets

Sandy... we will be in Shreveport/Bossier City, Louisiana. My son lives there and I am so looking forward to being "just grandma"... I am hoping I know how to not be a working woman. How do you fill the hours of the day??? I guess I will start a new business making cakes!!! :-)

05/09/12 @ 8:49 pm by bonnie

We knew you were busy and we missed you, glad you are back.

05/09/12 @ 9:11 pm by kerry

I can't even fathom paying 3 mortgages !!! Hope they sell fast!!

05/09/12 @ 9:56 pm by TraciiVCL

Oh Bonnie you will be so much closer , will have to come visit you . This will give me a reason to come to. Shreveport and know that if you come to Fort Worth you always have a place to stay. Hope all moves smooth and swiftly for you.

05/09/12 @ 11:34 pm by Sandys Sweets

Hiya Bon! We miss you!

05/10/12 @ 3:16 am by Justin Lynch

Oh Sandy! How cool that we will be almost neighbors! FW is what, about 3 hours away? I think I will be 6 hours away from Kerry now... so maybe will be able to zip up there to either help her with or just attend her various functions. I also have met a lovely lady on facebook who lives there named Tina Chambers. She does a lot for the cake community in that area. She actually drove the school bus for my grandson whenhe was in elementary school! Small world, huh?

05/10/12 @ 6:29 am by bonnie

Hey Bonnie!!

05/10/12 @ 6:30 am by cakeswithcharacter

Oh Bonnie girl! I can't even imagine making three mortgage payments. I know you will work it all out and how exciting is that to move? Especially where you will be closer to people you know. I moved to Kentucky and didn't know anyone!

05/10/12 @ 8:17 am by Sally Hackney

Bonnie, what wonderful news. Your son is going to be so happy.

05/10/12 @ 12:14 pm by redtiaraprincess

Let's get the houses sold with a big profit!

05/10/12 @ 5:53 pm by kerry

Elizabeth McMillan is in Bossier, Bonnie, will put you in touch she is a nice girl.

The instructions are very clear, no smiling, keep a neutral expression -- why?

Hmmm I wonder if they would let Edna photoshop it ;
