Well generally, yes, I agree. But if I'm serving something to sighted
people, I want things to look good because most people don't have high
opinions of blind people's cooking abilities. I don't necessarily expect
people to see one cake and become completely convinced in our abilities, but
hey, it has to start somewhere. <grin.

If it's fit to serve, it's fit to eat. Or, the other way around.

Kathy, that's just it. Mine taste just fine and are always moist and
usually done to perfection. I don't normally put anything on most of the
ones I make because they're Bundt recipes that are already very moist and
flavorful enough without the addition of a topping which is why the idea
of it looking different is embarrassing. <sigh>
I guess I'm going to have to find an honest sighted person and ask them
to really describe a cake so I know for sure if it's fit to serve.

I haven't done many cricrowave cakes to know re the appearance, but
would say if they're frosted you could get away with them otherwise
being ok, unless the texture is off. I've done an oatmeal cake several
times in the microwave that's turned out nicely.

Hi, all.
I was browsing my old CND folder and found this site for microwave cake
recipes.
The first thing this site says is that microwave cakes don't always
look the same as oven baked cakes. I understand how microwaves and
ovens cook and know that no microwave is ever going to give you a nice
brown topping. But. . . if I make a chocolate cake and frost it or do a
spice Bundt cake and use a powdered sugar covering how different would
it look as compared to an oven baked cake? I've used mine to do cakes
for a couple of years now and no one has mentioned. .. even under
their breath, that the cake looks different, and I come from a pretty
outspoken family. Now I'm a bit paranoid.
The site the info came from is:
