Hi, making a cake this weekend and need a cookies and cream cake. Never made one before, don't have time to try a new recipe so just going to wing it. I was thinking of the WASC (because it is going to be carved for a roller coaster) and adding cookie crumbles to the batter, filling with cookies and cream filling (saw on this site a marshmellow cream one ) and then frosting it with butter cream with chopped cookies. Any suggestions/tweeks? Wondering if the cookies in the batter will make a rough cake for covering later?
I've never made a cookies & cream but still I know the cookie chibbles will soften some in the batter and that's not a bad thing -- just sayin' -- I am imagining Oreos but choco chip cookies, peanut butter whatever kinds -- I wonder how extra cinnamony snickerdoodles would do -- anyway --
I think it will cut and serve ok -- especially if you refrigerate or freeze the cake before decorating -- it like homogenizes the moisture levels -- you want to keep the cookie chibbles a reasonable size not too big or small --
your icing will be lumpy for the roller coaster if you are sculpting it -- however if you are covering it with grass or something no worries --
what do you have in mind
k8memphis, thanks for your comments, I have been thinking about this all night and agree that the icing will be lumpy, so maybe not in the buttercream as I am cutting out the cake to shape the roller coaster and then covering in fondant. So probably no crumbs in the frosting I think in the batter and then the filing will be enough.
cupkakesp,
I believe that is how I'm going to do it with no crumbs in buttercream. I am using a marshmallow filling due to a fondant covered cake and not going to refrigerate it. it is going to a outside party so I had to find a suitable filling.
sounds really good
lemme know how it goes -- maybe a picture too
