Hi there!
My baby shower is next Saturday and to stop my mother from paying a small fortune on a cake, I want to bake it, which she (surprisingly) agreed!
I used to bake a lot until I got pregnant, with gestational diabetes I have a strict diet. My doctor did give me permission to eat a small piece of cake for my friend's wedding and for my baby shower but that's about it.
I was thinking of doing an almond flavored care, dye the batter in a pink ombre pattern and then hopefully find a good buttercream recipe since fondant is way too much sugar. Problem is, my mother-in-law is Extremely picky. She will criticize if my water isn't cold enough when I poor her a glass :/ I love her though, she's not always like that.
Would you ladies and gentlemen have fail proof, delicious recipes so I don't hear her or my mother complain about the cake?
Thank you so much!
I like swiss meringue buttercream. Less sugar than a powdered sugar-based frosting, as you primarily rely on the meringue and butter for the structure, not the sugar. I like a simple recipe, only about 4 ingredients, and easy as long as you take your time. Don't rush it.
Thanks Brooke!
Had to fight my mother-in-law to be able to bake my own cake :/ Managed to win though! Since we are only 14 people, I thought it would be more fun if I made it, then my mother can buy the cake she wants for the baptism at some point :)
Is there a way to make the swiss meringue buttercream smooth? I bought one of those dough scrapper that I thought would work well in making the sides and top smooth, would that work?
I feel so bad for all my questions lol
