Question About Flavoring Bc
Decorating By Batter-UpBakery Updated 4 Jun 2007 , 8:02pm by Batter-UpBakery
ok my first question is would it be okay to use strawberry flavoring instead of vanilla in bc. second does anybody know wether or not strawberry bc would taste ok with a tres leches (three milk) cake. i have a request for a baptism cake and that is what they want but i am not sure of how well it will go together. also does anybody think that adding a strawberry filling would be to much????? any help would be greatly appreciated. this is my first cake for a customer so i want to be great!!! thanks!!!!
I can only help with your first question, as I'm not familiar with Tres Leches cake. You can use strawberry flavoring for the buttercream no problem! Maybe even some vanilla and strawberry flavoring together would be nice. I like almond with anything berry flavored myself. You can also mix strawberry preserves into the buttercream for some color and flavor.
Also, be careful if you are using any fresh strawberries for filling - or even strawberry preserves if you use too much. It can be very wet (as in oozing out the sides) and slippery (as in top layer slides off). Don't ask me how I know these things 
Anyway, strawberry flavor or a little preserves mixed with your buttercream should be fine. Just don't overdo it.
thanks so much for your replys. i thought about making some kind of strawberry glaze or something to that effect and poking holes in the cake to let it ooze down in it. i dont know yet. i am gonna make a small sample cake to let them taste because i am just not sure of how it is gonna go together. thanks again.
