I loved the story about Ari Onassis and his Duncan Hines, and your V-8 moment. <br /><br />Truth be told, I am super lazy and I have stopped sifting, unless it is in the instructions (like "sift the dry ingredients together"). Otherwise I let the 60 second whirl in the mixer before adding the butter do all the aerating.evil cake ladyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09028488030328153196noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5559472530244243185.post-50466559323189199892010-07-28T16:29:47.819-07:002010-07-28T16:29:47.819-07:00Darling cupcakes and silicone cups.

I also weigh all my ingredients together then sift them into the bowl of my mixer.PAMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03851592290374595804noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5559472530244243185.post-60113930494162206802010-07-27T13:43:25.686-07:002010-07-27T13:43:25.686-07:00Ah, the old conundrum of whether a kilo of feather...Ah, the old conundrum of whether a kilo of feathers is heavier than a kilo of potatoes. <br /><br />If I am feeling particularly devout and pious, I sift after measuring. I do tend to sift if dry cocoa or icing sugar is at all involved because that does tend to clump, but otherwise - commando the whole way. <br /><br />I think you and I need to invest in new scales.<br /><br />Cute little cakes. And I loved the story (though slightly aghast that cake mix could be so good) about the Onassis chocolate cake.Nicolahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09276278631468370980noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5559472530244243185.post-29573783638835834442010-07-26T20:24:59.350-07:002010-07-26T20:24:59.350-07:00Super cute, Vicki!! Love love love the choc perles...Super cute, Vicki!! Love love love the choc perles. So elegant. The flower molds are cute too. As for weighing and sifting, I use a medium bowl with a strainer sitting on top. I put bowl + strainer on top of the scale and zero out the scale. Then I put the flour into the strainer until I have the right weight. Only then do I shake the strainer vigorously to sift the flour :o)Hanaâhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15660317268731033542noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5559472530244243185.post-59059513945779830642010-07-26T20:22:59.792-07:002010-07-26T20:22:59.792-07:00your cupcakes are so cute!!

I just don't like messy kitchen or flour all over which i think would happen if i shift flour on parchment paper. :Dfaithyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01442407119836426810noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5559472530244243185.post-8273990760320588802010-07-26T20:16:27.631-07:002010-07-26T20:16:27.631-07:00Oooo.. you use Valrhona Les Perles.

I have not found a difference at all to the final product, so I'm sticking to that, because like you, when I do use the stupid shifter, I still clean up flour, cocoa for days afterwards - wondering "how in the world did it get ALL THE WAY OVER HERE???".<br /><br />Love the individual cupcake holders... LOVE THEM.. !Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13185483325188799760noreply@blogger.com
