hi everyone!
want to make this cake for husbands upcoming birthday.
http://www.wilton.com/recipes/recipesandprojects/fathersday/chocolatefantasy.cfm
I am in course 2 of wilton cake decorating with my mil, so my husband would like a cake from both of us. I wanted to do this cake but found the instructions rather vague (or maybe so due to my inexperience).
Please answer:
1) is the pinkish toned colour the icing?
2) does anyone have any patterns for the lace portion.
3) when they say, use the bottom of the 9inch petal pan for center plaque, how do I do that?
4) what does it mean to over-pipe?
Any suggestions, would be welcome!
THANKS!!
It looks to me like it is a bunch of "pinwheels" piped at random. Sorry that is not mucy help. Maybe you could draw in actual size a pattern for yourself and put it under the wax paper and pipe over and then slide it out from under and use the pattern again. Or just make as many copies as you need. That way, you won't have to worry about messing up the chocolate--just erase!!!!!!!!! Good luck and be sure to post a pic!!!!!!
3) when they say, use the bottom of the 9inch petal pan for center plaque, how do I do that?
Hope this helps! Turn the 9 in. petal pan upside down and I would cut a piece of parchment or waxed paper to fit. Use the edge of the pan to pipe the border and flood the fill in for the middle with more candy. Set this in the fridge to harden and repeat as you pipe in the rest of the decorations for the plaque. I hope this helps you out a bit!
I think you'll have problems with that cake - the lace portions should have a pattern you can overpipe on and be telling you about drying them in flower formers to get the curves. I think that recipe is incomplete. I have all the yearbooks from 1990 - present, and I know I've seen it in one of them, I'll see if I can find it and give you the missing information. You'll need somebody to provide the lace pattern though (I searched in the pattern locator and they're not listed!), as I don't have any pattern books. The pink isn't pink, it's a mocha frosting, so in reality it'll be a coffee beige. Hope that helps!
Forgot to add -
For the plaque, you need to grease the inside of the petal with crisco, melt your candy melts and pour into the pan to the required depth. Ste it in the fridge and then unmold it from the pan (supposedly easy, but I've never tried it!).
Overpiping means to pipe something once, let it dry and then go over it a second time - it gives it a more 3D look.
1. Yes, it is the mocha( light coffee color) icing
2.You can draw a similar pattern.
3.Wilton sells cake pans in a flower or petal shape.If ÿou have a 9 inch one , put it over paper and trace its form, otherwise draw a 9 inch circle and draw the petal forms with a cup plate or other circular object.
4.Overpi[e means to pipe over an already piped surface.
Hope this helps somehow.
