Okay, here I go again ... doing a friend's wedding. I swear every time that I will not put myself into this situation, but ... and here I am again asking advice from the people who will get me through this!

She wants Italian Cream Cake. Any advice or suggestions before I get started? The wedding isn't until February so I have plenty of practice time. It will probably be 14, 10 and 6" tiers.

Thanks to everyone. I don't know what I would do without this site!

Hi Martha
Im nt sure what Italian cream cake is. Is that like vanilla cake filed with Italian buttercream? What style were you intending to do, modern, romantic? hmmm now im hungry, i want cream cake!

I've never made it but I know there are a few different variations of Italian Cream Cake in the recipe section here. You could take a look at those and PM whoever posted the recipe to see if they have any tips. HTH!

I just did a 12/9/6 in Italian Meringue Buttercream (see my humble three uploads). It tastes great! Also wondering what style/colors she would like? <<<< Cheryl

If you're looking for a yummy ICC recipe, here's an awesome one!

Your recipe sounds great cakepro, a bakery here sells the Italian Cream cake frosted with cream cheese icing. I think I tastes so good.

I did an Itlaina Cream cake over the weekend and it was really moist. Just torting and stacking the two layer cake was a chore. However, I used cake flour instead of AP flour as called for in the original recipe. I am not sure how this would work for a wedding cake that would be stacked. It called for three 9 inch pans but I used two and torted for 4 layers. 350º for 25 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. It was delicious, so try it and see. The original recipe called for icing it with a toasted pecan cream cheese icing, which I did.

2 c sugar
1 c butter
creamed until fluffy

1 tbsp vanilla
5 egg yolks
beat after addition of each yolk

2 c cake flour
1 tsp baking powder
1 c buttermilk
add flour and buttermilk alternately, starting and ending with flour

1 c flaked coconut
Stir into batter
5 egg whites, hard peaks folded into batter

Divide equally between the pans and bake.

Cakepro and Kayakado, are either of your cakes taste similar to the Shubox white coconut cake? That's a recipe I've wanted to try. <<<Cheryl

Sorry, I haven't heard of that cake either.

the shubox cake is good!
