Hi guys, well my disaster yesterday is now behind me and I am attempting a handbag cake. No pressure this time cause its not going outside the house. icon_lol.gif

I have made the cake and now I need to carve it slightly. How long do you put them in the freezer for? Do you need to freeze the cake solid or just a little?

Thanks

Hey Mate
What kinda cake are you using? I dont freeze my cakes for carving, but then the cakes i use are prettyfirm on their own. Sometimes refrigerate to set the fillings, but i dont freeze for carving (I freeze only to keep them longer ; )

It needs to be just barely frozen, usually about an hour. If you use a denser cake, then it may not need to be frozen at all.

Good luck and I hope we get to see a photo of it.

What do you use in your recipes to make them dense but still moist.

I dont know if you have a Food Lion where you are, But they make the best Lemon Pound Cake ever.

It is very dense but it is very, very moist.

Thank you.

I've just used the cake extender recipe on this site.... seems to hold up well.

Wow I had the day off today.... I've had soooooo much fun with this handbag cake, heaps of mistakes but I've really enjoyed it.

Thanks for your responses thumbs_up.gif
