Italian Nut Wedding Cake With Ganache Filling/ Red Hat Society

Italian Nut Wedding Cake With Ganache Filling/ Red Hat Society on Cake Central

This cake was a little stressful. My friend and I did this together. We also did a grooms cake. My friend used the Viva paper towel trick on all the layers and then I did the colored decorations while she decorated the panda bear grooms cake. Unfortunately, my friend refuses to do another wedding cake. I on the other hand do. Cake sizes, 14, 12,10, 8, 6

Top 3 layers were styrifoam. The bottom Two were real. The books say 134 but we estimated about 120.

The Viva papertowel trick works mainly with crisco based frostings I think like buttercream. After the frosting sets a few minutes you place a Viva papertowel over the cake and rub your hand across it several times. the warmth of your hand rubs out any lines in the frosting. Works like hot knifing but without the water and knife. Got this trick from this site. I think it is called the Melvira or something like that.

I picked up the Viva paper towel trick from another cake decorator in my area. It really works nicely most of the time. Just remember only Viva papertowels or you may have your frosting peel off your cake.
