Making another MD monogram...sortof...big surprise, eh? icon_biggrin.gif

I would be busy except people wait until today to place orders.....so tired of that. And want to pay upon delivery. No way.


So, making a nice cake for my momma and taking it easy...kind of glad not to have any real orders...in a way. icon_smile.gif

Satin Ice advertises that its OK in the fridge. The issue is sweating as it comes up to room temp. Takes hours for the condensation to dissipate.

Leahs- thanks so much. I will take it out now and then it can "dry out" before tomorrow. Everyone on here has been so nice to me. I love it. I only do a cake or two a month so I learn each adn everytime.

Unless it's incredibly hot and humid in the kitchen you're in, the Satin Ice will be fine. Even in the height of the summer, as long as I have the AC going I've never had sweating/condensation issue from a refrigerated cake with Satin Ice. It holds up very well in the fridge. Almost all of my cakes have perishable fillings, so I have to refrigerate them... like I said, never been a problem. I've heard some MMF/refrigeration horror stories though!

This is my first time posting...all I'm working on is a smaller 2 tier cake for some very good friend's wedding tomorrow! I spent the day at work, supper and evening at a bbq hosted by the wedding couple. I didn't get started on this cake until so late and (stupidly) tried a different recipe for mmf and it is not working out!!! All I could do is get the cake "good enough". I am exhausted and can't keep my eyes open anymore - thinking I will go to bed and finish tomorrow.

How did everyone do last night? I'm off to make two deliveries and then come back to put my bra together. I have concerns about that thing. Not my finest work from what I can tell so far.... icon_sad.gif

Woo Hoo!! 55 down 2 to go icon_confused.gif Yes, it's 57 separate orders. The actual hardest part of getting it all done was getting people to pick up their cakes on time so we cold get theirs out of the cooler and the next one in.

Ingredients:
  1 pkg (16 ounces) frozen sliced strawberries in syrup thawed
  1 cup heavy cream
  2 tablespoons cornstarch
Makes: 2 1/2 cups of filling.
Instructions
Combine strawberries, cream and corn starch in medium saucepan. Cook over medium heat, whisking constantly until thickened, about 8-10 minutes. Remove from heat and chill before filling cupcake/cake.




I was just stopping by to tell everyone hello when I saw your recipe.

Can a cake with this filling stay at room temperature for long?
Would you use it on a wedding cake that would be out for a couple of days while you decorate?
How does this filling do if the cake is fondant covered?

It sounds delicious. Thank you for sharing.

cupcakeluv..I just tried the recipe. I couldn't find any strawberries in syrup. I went to 3 different stores, which is all we have here! So I made it and just added a bit of sugar. It's fantastic. It didn't thicken that much, and kinda soupy looking, which could be b/c of no syrup. So I'm letting it cool to see if it thickens anymore. If not, I guess I'll throw it back on the burner and add some more cornstarch or some flour or something. Thanks again!

yes do let it sit for a bit it will thicken not Jell-o but it will not be as soupy, and also even though it does look like that it WILL NOT come pouring out when you cut the cake. make sure to use and dam around the inside of each layer that you fill,and be sure not to over fill the dams. I have also made it without the syrup.

DebBTX - I would not leave it out in a cake for days due to the cream that is used. but it can be left out a the day of a function/wedding. I have used it in Birthday cakes also in stacked cakes with up to 4 layers.
I also decorated a cake while using that filling and placed it in the fridge and pulled it back out and its been fine.
