A co-worker has asked for my help. I think next she is going to ask me to make it. Her mother is turning 100 and loves angel food cake. I am completely stumped! These are the only two pieces of information that she gave me. Does anyone have any ideas???
Boy!! That is something to think about. Ive made angel food cake before but Ive never tried to decorated one. If she likes fruit maybe you could
make something like a strawberry shortcake. Oh I got it!!! Use a
7 Minute frosting its light enough so that it wont weigh the cake down and the taste is very light so it wont overpower. Its hard to decorate with but if you frost the cake making swirls with your spatula it will give an airy-looking light as "angels wings" appearance. Make it tiered and decorate with gumpaste flowers. Hope that sound good.
I started a thread on this a while ago, plus I know there are several others on CC. If you do find a recipe for Angel Food cake that is sturdy enough to ice and decorate - please post it! I spent hours and hours researching it and tried a recipe that was supposed to be sturdy enough to decorate.....there was no way - it was just too light and spongy. It would have totally sunk under icing. I ended up using it in a trifle (actually my 8 yr. old daughter did - she had to do a presentation on England at school, so she took trifle to share....she got an A+!!!)
I can't help you with the angel food cake part, but I have made a few 100th birthday cakes. This is my favorite! And the "birthday girl" said it was the prettiest cake she had ever seen. Made me feel good, for sure!
