Quick Stacked Cake Question- Frosting Sticking
Decorating By tonyab Updated 11 Oct 2007 , 4:40am by jibbies
The first wedding cake I made was a 3 tiered stacked cake....The bride stated that the frosting from the bottom layer stuck to the cake board above it when the cake was deconstructed for cutting. Is there any way to avoid this from happening?
Thanks!
I put a piece of wax paper or parchment paper cut to the size of the tier being placed on the cake between the tiers. After removing the tier, the paper peels off easily.
I use coarse sugar under the plate, a lot of people use powdered sugar under the plate, some use cake crumbs, many use paper.
I let my brides know that I use a light sprinkling of coconut between the layers. It works well.
Since I usually serve the cakes I have done, I let the guests know that the piece they are getting has some coconut on it, This only applies to the pieces cut from where the plate rested, not the outer edge, Some say yum and some say could I have a piece with no coconut.
Sometimes brides will request that I use something else, then I just use powdered sugar, it doesn't work as well for me but its their choice.
Hope this helps
