Okay, here is a picture of the cake using the Whimisical Bakehouse Buttercream that I talked about in my earlier post. As you can see, it didn't smooth very well. Everyone loved it anyway. The cake is Vanilla with White Chocolate with Raspberries Coffeemate. The filling is raspberry and the icing is the WBH buttercream which is very good. There are a couple of closeups in my posts.

Thanks for looking.

which cake is it? And which recipe is it... the House buttercream or the other one? Hmmmm.

Sorry, the picture was too big. I will resend it in a smaller format.

Your cake is so cute.

I have a question. What is Whimsical Bakehouse Buttercream? I did a search in the recipes and didn't find it.

Great cake...cute design! Hmmm. This is the only icing recipe i use. I've never had a huge problem with it. Even though it's a non-crusting icing you still have to work relatively fast in smoothing it. And once you've iced it and let it set for a few minutes you really can't go over it and re-smooth it. Not sure what happened for you. How did you ice it?

Heres the recipe....

I have never made it either...I guess I heard a few negative things and didnt wanna try it....but I think I will

formerbuckeye, I love your cake design, very creative!!!!!

When I used this recipe, I made my first 2 tier cake. I actually found that using a 'warm' spatula (not a hot hot one like I might use with regular BC), smoothed the icing out perfectly.

Sandra,

Hi! How much White Chocolate Raspberry creamer did you use? I made the WASC cake this morning and I used 2/3 C. I won't be tasting this cake until tomorrow since it is for Father's Day. I mixed some of the creamer in with the BC for the filling.

Thanks everyone. I had fun doing this cake. darkchocolate: I put 1/3 c in each cake mix. It was subtle but very good.

Sandra,

Thank you for letting me know. I halved the recipe, so I used 2/3 C for 1 cake mix. I hope it isn't too overpowering. If your cake was a subtle taste, hopefully mine won't be too strong. Then again, that is a matter of preferance. I used the Pralines and Cream and had differing opinions on the cake being just right and some thought it was too strong.

Replace some of the water with the creamer in the Whimsical Bakehouse buttercream too--I put a couple of tablespoons in and everyone loved it.
