Using Graham Crackers For Sand Asap!!!
Decorating By morphis1208 Updated 23 May 2008 , 1:04pm by tiptop57
I have a cake being picked up tonight for a wedding on Saturday. Will the crushed graham crackers be ok until then or will they go soggy and gross? Need help ASAP.
I live in FL and it's pretty humid the wedding is noon on Saturday
Granted, I live in AZ where it is 100 degrees and very dry - but if you look at the retirement cake in my gallery - you'll see where I used crunched up rick krispies for the sand. They didn't affect the taste, but gave it a nice crunch. Only the immediate layer of RK's were a little less-than-crunchy...but the rest were great. Just a suggestion.
Agree that it's for looks and not really for eating anyway. When I did my seashell wedding cake, when I cut the cake at the reception, I scooped all of the 'sand' off of the cake and dropped it in the trash (well, scooped up as much as I could get!)
Can you just put the crumbs in a ziplock with instruction on how they should place them on Saturday?
I just used graham cracker crumbs on cupcakes for a beach themed bridal shower. Decorated them on Saturday, the shower was on Sunday, there were a few left over and they lasted a couple days and it didn't get soggy or gross. So, I think it would be fine.
I smushed them up in a freezer bag first, then I cut a hole at the corner so that I could "write" them where I wanted them. I did have to slightly push them down onto the cake...but once they were on...they were ON.
I had a piece with the rk's on it, and I thought it was delicious. But the sand on my cake wasn't meant to be decoration only.
And besides...haven't you met Rick? He makes the most delicious krispies. ![]()
