Timothy Jansen's Comments

Hello Tim, 

You are doing very well!   I see you have been practicing; very proud of your accomplishments in Lambeth.  Hopefully see you in my travels in a class or just for a visit. 

Have a wonderful day!

Kathleen

Thanks Tim,  you are very kind.

Thanks so much Timothy!   That was my goal when I first started doing cakes and it's incredibly rewarding for me to hear that :)  

lol! ooooh, Tim, I was so tired by that time, my head was hitting the key board and I went to bed! I meant to answer the next morning and it just slipped my mind. Did you SEE how many posts we made during that conversation??? We monopolized the whole site! ha ha! What I was going to say, was that I think those cakes would be pretty stale by now if there were any left around and you might not like them, but I would like to see how you would do that because it would make for a great video.

Tim, if you wouldn't mind me having your e-mail address, I think it will be easier to send these recipes and pics that way rather than go through the whole process of the private messaging here. If you are willing, just private message the email address.

Let me see what all is in that German cake/pastry book and I will private message whatever recipes that I find. I'll have to convert the measurements first before I send them to you. I'll scan a picture or two of these cakes and send them as well. I know you will like them. They aren't Lambeth, but they are different and pretty.

What are you making Tim? What about a German Chocolate cake? It's a little sweeter than regular chocolate cake but it is lighter in chocolate. I also have a Black Forest Chocolate, cherry, and whipped cream recipe that I have in my German cookbook that I got when we lived over there. I'm not that crazy about the recipe, but it may be what you are looking for. It is so light that I have contemplated doctoring it up some and adding more chocolate. Give me your input on what you plan on making.

I Thank you too Tim,That is kind of you.

Tim,At this moment I have some problem so I can not work too much .I just look at the others beautiful cake .

Thanks Tim for your tips on the bc, I am going to try this for my next batch and try the Lambeth method.

Thank you Tim! I am practicing using royal icing this week, and I will be trying this recipe out. I've always used just the meringue powder before, and my strings always break, so having an alternative recipe is something I have very happy for. I have seen that book and had wondered if it had good pictures in it. Now I know! I did a search this week for one but it was around $300.00. That is a little out of my price range at this time, so I'll keep my eyes open. What is the topic of your book that you are writing? WOW! God really did dump out all of the creative juices on you when you were born!!! Music, writing, composing, decorating....are there other talents that you are keeping under the wraps? lol

So, is the Lambeth method always done with royal icing? I have been searching off and on all day long and there really isn't a whole lot out there on the Internet. I know it is a very time consuming art form, but it is still to me, the ultimate of the ultimate in cake decorating. Do you have your own shop, and if yes, do you charge extra for a cake done in this method? (I'm more of a hobby baker with an occasional wedding cake/birthday cake order).

Your Lambeth is amazing! such attention to detail! 3 hours is a lot of time at one task. So gorgeous.

Tim, there were two that I absolutely love: The first one below, because my husband and I lived in Germany and my husband was also born in Germany, so that one reminded me from when we lived there in 1971-1972, and also from my husband's parent's stash of Christmas music,

And then the one below. Just unbelievably beautiful!
