Hi, I am planning to do a 3d Lightning mcqueen cake for the first time in february. I will be baking it a week before to freeze. I will bake it in two batches in a 10 inch square tin. I am planning to carve it when its half defrosted, can i put the filling in while it is still half defrosted?
Also, I will be using Ganache to fill it and to cover it. Can you please tell me what ratio chocolate to cream i need for the filling and what ratio I need to cover it as this would be firmer.
Thanks
Thanks for your replies, I am also wondering how I am going to do the writing on the tyres. I can't pipe well and I don't really want to spend over half an hour plus alot of icing sugar to make the royal icing. any ideas to how else I can do white writing on the tyres (they have to be small enough to fit so I can't use stencils / cutters.
AEdible ink pens and rice paper? You could do an inverse design where you leave the writing the same colour as the paper and then colour the rest in black? I think writing on the tyre with white paint might look neater though as the paper might ripple.
AIf you want white - RI? If not, one coat of silver should work - light enough to look grey and not sparkly? Haven't looked for white edible paint, have you googled it?
I know the copyright police will be after me for this this one but...google coolest cakes lightning mqueen pattern. There is a Dad on Coolest Cakes who has posted a couple of pages that you can print on edible paper that includes the tire graphics for Lightning McQueen. I used these images when I made my son's b-day cake this year.
