by: Michelle (admin)

Here's a really quick, easy and fool-proof simple syrup recipe that's great for brushing on cake layers to add moisture:

equal parts sugar and water (e.g. 1 cup each)

1. Place the sugar and water in a saucepan and bring to a boil.

2. Boil, stirring constantly, until the sugar is completely dissolved.

3. Add desired flavoring.

You can flavor this syrup with anything you can imagine:

liqueurs (use about 1/4 cup per 1 cup of sugar)
split vanilla bean pods (1 per 1 cup sugar)
citrus (add cut up fruits, with skins, during boiling)
