I am making a Twix 3d cake and want to replicate the innerds
(is that a word?) anyway I made a sample cake with a shortbread cookie for the center and caramel on top, tasted good but it got soft/ didn't have the crunch I wanted to replicate a real twix bar. Anyone have a suggestion for a good cruchy type layer. I did think of using golden grahams but they don't really taste like shortbread in the candy bar.

TIA ski

I think anything bread/cereal/cookie like is going to get soft. What about something like toffee bits? It won't taste the same but they will have a crunch to them!

what if you coated the cookie in something? Like toffe, or SOMEthing the moisture wouldn't break down.........just thinking as I go along, andyone have any ideas what may have this quality? What If you put the actual Twix bar IN the cake??

yeah, I would definitely try filling it with actual twix bars, whole so that the cookie is protected.

Ski-
I was just talking to someone last week who makes a butterfinger cake. She makes choc cake and then folds in broken butterfinger bars to her BC. Maybe just try that? Unless you cover the shortbread in chocolate I'm not sure you are gonna get what you're looking for... Good Luck- did you finish the wedding cake yet?

I have never tried it, but have always wanted to, but I've heard of using a layer of baked meringue in the middle as a filling (there is a name for it, but it is so not coming to mind right now). If you flavored it it could taste cookie-ish. The difficulty would be your area and the humidity-it may not be possible to cook a crispy meringue.

This won't be the flavor you're looking for, but I have used these many times. My family loves them in between the filling.

I create my dam, then add a thin layer of SMBC in between. I drop these in, then cover them with more SMBC.
