Hi!! Here is the pic of my Son's orchestra cake that I finished today, they all loved it. My son made the bass out of fondant. Here is my first attempt with roses, I made them out of royal icing. All in all I am happy with the cake. School colors are purple and gold, so I dyed two of the cake layers purple and the middle was the butter recipe, the teacher LOVED it when she cut into it.
Great cake, I love the colors and your roses and the bass are wonderful.
I am in the Wilton I class right now, and I used their class recipe for the royal icing.
is it the one on the wilton website? Thats the one I used, hmm, wonder what in the world I did wrong. How do you make royal iceing thiner without ruining it? What was the consistancy of yours to do the roses in, they look wonderful! I cant believe your still in a class, it looks so profesional!
mine always comes out too thick too. I think my kitchen is a moisture sucker! I have to add more water to make it workable. Just keep adding a drip or two at a time until it is a usable consistency. Many times I have to add up to 2 to3 tablespoons more water if not more.
I went to my first class last thursday and the teacher demo the roses, so I was really excited to go home and do them, so I used the class buttercream recipe and I was able to do them, but I didnt like the way they looked, so the teacher said that royal icing is thicker than buttercream so I tried that and she was right, the petals looked better, but I am going to have to practice with the buttercream, as my son did NOT like the HARD roses! LOL
The first time I made royal icing, I did not use the mixer long enough and it was really thick, this time I did the mixer for the full 10 minutes and it was fine
