HELP! i saw this AMAZING cornucopia (Danish Wedding tower (Kransekage)and wanted to make it, the photo that was posted just made me fall in love, i just have to make it as a surprise for my family on Thanks Giving. How am i going to assemble this cake horizontally, i asked the person who posted the picture but unfortunately her post was last year and i email her with no response so far, is there anyone out there that can help me with a step by step? I guess my biggest question would be, how do i know how big to make the rings, how do i divide them??? All the searches ive been doing just show instructions on building the typical tower formation. I'd really appreciate it if anyone can help me!!??

Thank you so much

Are you purchasing the rings, or doing it freestyle?

Ill b doing it free hand with instructions that say divide dough into 8 pieces or by weight but its in grams 10 20 30 etc. Rolling each into finger thick stix making the first piece 3,5 inches and adding an inch and a half going up. Does this sound good or do u have better instructs?

Probably. I'm trying to figure out the cornucopia shape. I saw a pic online a little while ago, but no instructions. It almost seems like you would cut pieces out to sit them sideways.

wow, thank u for ALL that info, i visited each and eveyone of thos sites! I made the dough last night and its in the fridge right now, i wont have time to work on it tonight, but tomorrow after work im going to form and bake it, WISH ME LUCK!!! One thing thats heavy on my mind is the fact that the recipie that i followed said take almond paste and sugar into a mixer and it should form a large ball, it didnt do that, it just crubled together so thats when i started adding the egg whites, after that i reached the consistency that they were describing, i just hope i didnt skip something, also its said refrigerate 3-4 hrs or over night (even better) but they didnt say weather to cover it or not....i put it in a tupperware, this recipie is WAY to expensive to screw it up, god i hope it goes well!

Ok, i made it for thanksgiving and although the baked mixture itself was delicious it was a complete and utter failure! The rings came out FLAT!!!! I don tknow what i did wrong, i told my sister and she said it was too much sugar..... i will post the receipe i used and maybe u guys can tell me whats wrong????? (for the record i used 14 oz almond paste and 1 1/3 sugar and added eggwhites till it was the consistency that they described) I would like to try this again but i really need to consult with you guys first!
