My friend wants me to make a cake for her son's 1st communion. She wants a large cross that looks like stained glass. I have the Wilton cross pan, but this cake needs to serve 60 or more people. I thought of placing cross cake on top of a sheet cake, but that seems so boring. Any ideas? TIA!
Don't do the pan and bake a half sheet and cut it. There are templates on CC on how to cut a cross out of a quarter sheet and half sheet. It's much better than the pan. Then do the stained glass design on top. I am doing that next month sometime for a delayed St. Joseph's Altar meal.
Now, I have no experience with this, but have you worked with poured sugar? I was thinking you could do a tiered cake and then do a poured sugar cross on the top in different colors making it seem like stained glass. Also, could you do a gumpaste cross and attach pieces of colored fondant to it - and then steam the fondant so it looks shiny? Good luck and make sure you post pics!
