The Canvas: FIGS & FETA Beaded Collection

This culinary adventure unfolds on the FIGS & FETA Beaded Collection, a testimony to the belief that even the simplest elements of our lives can be elevated to art. Each piece in this collection, delicately beaded, becomes a conduit for Lindy’s artistic expression. It’s not just tableware—it’s a collaboration between form and function, a perfect companion for Lindy’s mission to turn the ordinary into the extraordinary.

Crafting the Extraordinary: Lindy’s Carrot Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting and Edible Flowers

The transformative journey takes centre stage with Lindy’s Carrot Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting and Edible Flowers. In this symphony of simplicity, Lindy orchestrates a dance of flavours with brown sugar, vegetable oil, golden syrup, eggs, and vanilla essence. The FIGS & FETA Beaded Collection silently observes as Lindy turns basic ingredients into a masterpiece that transcends the boundaries of desserts.

As self-rising flour, plain flour, bicarbonate of soda, and cinnamon intertwine, the addition of grated carrots introduces not only texture but also a vivid burst of colour—a signature touch that signifies Lindy’s ability to infuse vibrancy into her creations.

The Dance of Flavours: Lindy’s Cream Cheese Frosting

The journey crescendos with the creation of Lindy’s Cream Cheese Frosting. Cream cheese, lemon juice, and sifted icing sugar come together in a harmonious dance of sweetness and tanginess. This velvety creation becomes the medium through which Lindy’s vision of transformative elegance takes form—a testament to the delicate balance she seeks in her culinary endeavours.

Assembling the Masterpiece

With the cakes baked and cooled, it’s time to assemble Lindy’s masterpiece. Layers of coherence and care are adorned with cream cheese frosting, creating a metaphorical reflection of life’s layers. The FIGS & FETA Beaded Collection becomes the stage for this elegant layering, reinforcing the idea that strength lies in unity.

The remaining frosting, spread over the entire cake, creates a seamless and harmonious finish. Lindy’s creation, now a reflection of both the journey and the destination, rests in the cool embrace of the refrigerator, allowing flavours to meld and mature.

A Moment of Reflection: Refrigeration and Decoration

As the creation rests, a moment of reflection ensues. Transformative elegance, much like life, requires patience. The final touch comes in the form of freeze-dried edible flowers, each one a symbol of fleeting beauty—a reminder to appreciate the ephemeral nature of the extraordinary.

Carrot Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting and Edible Flowers

Ingredients
  

  • ½ cup Brown sugar
  • cups Vegetable oil
  • 1 cup Golden syrup
  • 6 Eggs
  • 1 tsp Vanilla essence
  • 2 cups Self-rising flour
  • 1 cup Plain flour
  • 2 tsp Bicarbonate of soda
  • 1 tsp Cinnamon
  • 3 cups Grated carrot

Cream Cheese Frosting:

  • 250 grams Packet of cream cheese
  • 1 tbsp Lemon juice
  • cups Sifted icing sugar

Instructions
 

  • Prepare and Preheat: Grease and line three 20 cm shallow cake tins. Preheat the oven to 160 degrees Celsius.
  • Mix the Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine brown sugar, oil, golden syrup, vanilla essence, and eggs. Whisk until well combined.
  • Combine Dry Ingredients: In another bowl, sift together self-rising flour, plain flour, bicarbonate of soda, and cinnamon. Mix to combine.
  • Bring it Together: Add the wet ingredients to the flour mix and stir until the batter comes together. Fold in the grated carrot.
  • Bake: Divide the cake batter between the three pans. Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 40 minutes or until the cakes are cooked. Check with a skewer.
  • Cool and Frost: Cool the cakes in the pans for 15 minutes before turning them onto a wire rack to cool completely. While the cakes are cooling, prepare Lindy's Cream Cheese Frosting.
  • Lindy's Cream Cheese Frosting: Use an electric mixer or mix master to beat the cream cheese until light and fluffy. Add the lemon juice and sifted icing sugar, beat gently until the frosting is a thick, smooth consistency.
  • Assemble the Cake: Spread frosting on top of two cakes. Layer the cakes, placing the third on top. Secure the layers with a skewer pushed down through the middle. Spread the remaining frosting all over the cake using a palette knife.
  • Refrigerate and Decorate: Refrigerate the cake for an hour. Before serving, decorate with freeze-dried edible flowers for that extra touch of beauty.

As we indulge in Lindy’s masterpiece, let this culinary journey be a testament that transformative elegance is not just a concept in the kitchen—it’s a philosophy that extends to every facet of our lives.

Whether in crafting a meal, curating our surroundings, or simply savouring a moment, may we find joy in the simple act of turning the ordinary into the extraordinary. With Lindy’s touch and the FIGS & FETA Beaded Collection, we have the power to infuse every moment with transformative elegance.
