How to Use Goose Eggs for Baking a Cake
In the realm of baking, hen eggs are the usual currency. But with allergies, developments of green living and healthier options, different eggs are being used, such as emu, ostrich, duck and goose eggs. For the eco-friendly crowds, free range is preferred. When it comes to baking, volume matters. Goose eggs are 4 to 5 times larger than a hen's egg, so substituting goose eggs for hen's eggs in baking can be a bit tricky. Does this Spark an idea?

My Dad's mother used to send him, literally, through the woods to gather goose eggs for her cakes. I thought I would surprise him with a cake made from them. Thank you for the tips!
