Ok here I go
1. Can you do a quilted look (like they do on fondant) on BC and if so how do I do it?
2. ON the hamburger cake, I recieved some great directions on one but wanted to know how to get the "burger" itself to look like a burger...Wanted to do a chocolate ganache over it but how would I do that 1 cake to look like it was wrapped in the ganache? (to look like the burger)
3. How much of the paramount crystals do I add to the ganache so the ganache isn't rock hard when people cut into the cake?
Thank you for reading and answering if you can

1. I use an impression mat on a crusting buttercream (look at the pink and blue cake in my gallery)
2. I have seen rice crispy treats airbrushed brown and it looks really good and the texture is perfect
3. no idea sorry
Hope this helps
On one of the episodes of Ace of Cakes with Duff, the team was tasked with making a hamburger for one of the cakes...
The clever team took rice crispys and smashed it down to look like a paddy. Then they spray painted it.
It looked like a real burger paddy!
wgoat,
I made a burger cake for my son for his 18th b-day (what he wanted) and this is what I did for the burger "look". I first put waxed paper under the layer of cake that was to be the burger..make it large enough so that it comes up over the sides (you'll see why in a min). I used a tip 5?, used chocolate with black bc and piped it on sproradically. Put that layer in the freezer for just a few minutes....take it out and here is where the wax paper around the sides come in - bring the wax paper up around to just press the piped bc in a little bit. Once you do that the whole way around, the sides will have the texture of ground beef. I really didn't worry a whole lot about the top as another cake layer was going on top. I wished I had pictures, but my camera was stolen a few days after his birthday. It was such a cool cake!! HTH
