Am I Going To Have A Problem........
Decorating By Kathrynsgoodies Updated 17 Jul 2007 , 5:01pm by jenncowin
I am making a 3 tiered Strawberry Shortcake birthday cake for a friend's daughter. I am planning on using the globe balls and dowels that come with it to separate the layers . The bottom layer is going to be 10 inches. I am baking these cakes in NC and they are being transported to FL frozen where I will decorate the cake once I get there. I baked all the cakes today and was leveling and wrapping them for the freezer. Without thinking I split each of the 10 inch layers in half (so now I have 4 layers - was just planning on two). Obviously I had not had enough diet coke at this point in the morning. The layers are going to have strawberry filling in between them and be iced with BC.
Ok here is the question......Am I going to have a stability problem now that I have 4 mini layers with 3 layers of filling on the bottom instead of 2 cake and 1 filling??????? Since I am assembling and decorating away from my home I won't have the luxury of rebaking if I have a problem....... I really don't want to have to redo these layers.......................
Does anyone have any advice..........Thanks a million.
What I would do is just put filling between one of the layers. There's four layers of cake, so 3 layers for filling. I would go cake, icing, cake, filling, cake, icing, then cake. Does that make sense? I don't think you'll have a "slipage" issue either way,but this is how I would do it.
