well actually I have seen that, of course its not a neat thing, but its there. Isnt that called reverse frosting or something like that? Oh wait thats just if you want your top to be really flat . icon_surprised.gificon_eek.gificon_confused.gif duh...
anyway, I didnt think so, but someone here said I should so that when its picked up to eat you dont see the cake if it broke or burnt..... icon_surprised.gif I wouldnt burn them, I pace back and forth until the cake is out...... icon_wink.gif

I read somewhere to attach a piece of fondant cut to shape on the flat part...you could use buttercream to attach..then flip if right side up and decorate however. That way the bottom is covered. Petit Fours are done that way! Hope this helps!

I would think if i were going to pick it up I would not want the bottom to have icing on it. That just sounds messy in my hands to me. But wouldn't you eat these with a fork anyway?

these are no bigger then a cupcake really icon_rolleyes.gif ...a tad bigger, but still the same. So far I have all 40 made 3 totally done, and waiting for the frosting to get cold in the fridge before I do more..
speaking of which.. how in the heck do you all do this? I can do maybe 3 cakes before the frosting needs stiffing. That takes the longest for me to decorate. do you have like 3 bags filled with the color frosting you are working with and change and so on? I am working on getting like 3 or 4 of the same "always use" tips so that I can do this but mercy!!!!!!! Its 10 PM here right now, and I am so ready for bed, but I have to get at least half done tonight!!!!!!!! can someone can and fly here and help me icon_lol.gificon_rolleyes.gif

I would love to, as long as it's not cold icon_wink.gif

I would try the three seperate bags, that way you can keep moving and it will speed up the pace. icon_biggrin.gif

I am definately going to get more of the star tips....I thought I got through 3 cakes before putting it back in fridge...I got through one!. so now my question is parchment triangles or bags? right now I am using triangles... will get bags eventually... but do you find that the frosting stays cooler in a bag? I cant believe my hands get that warm, but man I am surprised. NOW I have run out of BC!!!!!!!! I always have powdered sugar always, but now I'm out!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! If its not one thing its another.. now I will have to finish them tomorrow...I think I have 12 done out of 40! icon_mad.gificon_mad.gificon_redface.gificon_cry.gificon_rolleyes.gificon_wink.gifthumbs_up.gif

I hate it when I run out of things when I am trying to do something icon_mad.gif
When that happens, either hubby goes and gets it for me (thank goodness for cell phones), I get it myself, or if our son is over at Grandma and Grandpa's for the night- I make my hubby go with me.
