I have a Strawberry shortcake cake to do in November and I was thinking about making little heart shaped cakes and coating them with red melting chocolates and adding some green candy clay leaves to make them look like strawberries. What do you think the best way to go about this would be? Any tips? Will it work?
You can make a thin sheet cake.. and if you have a Heart cookie cutter, you can use that to cut out your shapes.. Good Luck! Sounds like a great idea!
Well, I just went to a petit fours class and posted this on another thread, but maybe it would help you too:
1. To ice the cakes, it's easiest to work with them frozen. You can freeze your cake whole (have it torted and filled if you're doing that), and then cut the heart shapes out of the frozen cake.
2. While the cake is in the heart cutter, stick a plastic knife in the bottom. Slide the cutter off. Dip the cake in the icing (if you're using candy melts, chocolate, or some other type of liquidy icing). Turn it right side up, and place a fork around the knife blade. Slide the knife out of the cake and use the fork to place the cake on your rack to dry.
Your heart strawberries sound like they'll be cute!
