Here's my cake for this weekend, this was my first time doing scrolls so I've definitely got room for improvement.

Carla83  I am positive that there is a method that makes scrolls easier but I sure haven't discovered it! I still find them very hard to do! Your cake is beautiful!

Carla I love that cake. only method I know to make scrolls easier is practice. But you got to start somewhere. I personally have beginning skills with most of my piping but I don't work on it enough. This week I made 6 batches of cake. Learned not to make a double batch of MMF in my kitchenaid. Colored the fondant to make lego bricks. Then learned the party I am making the cake for might be postponed due to scheduling error at my nieces work. Lucky was only a time change. 

I also chaperoned a 5th grade field trip to the Oregon Garden of course in the seasonal rain. plus took my son out last night to one of his favorite restaurants to celebrate his 18th birthday early since no one was available to come over on his actual birthday. Tomorrow I need to catch up on making parts to construct the lego cake. Need to make ganache and marshmallow filling. Cut the jelly roll sheets I made for layers and hoping to construct and freeze bricks. Then Monday I need to fill and ice my son's birthday cake which I am trying to surprise him with. My son's cake is for Thursday and the lego cake needs to be finished on friday. Transporting it early since my husband has to work Saturday. I trust him to drive it over better than my sister or my niece,

shdvl  Good Luck with the surprise! It use to be easier when I could hide away in my pro kitchen but now everyone sees what I'm doing as I'm doing it so no surprises there!


MamaGeese  I simply adore the wedding and grooms cakes! They are gorgeous and look really delicious too! I think I'm going to have to make cake this week just cause I want CAKE! LOL!


Have a great week everyone!

Re doinf scrolls:  Wilton used to(?) put out plastic scroll markers that you press into the icing then just 'trace' over that.  Don't know if the still do but if not you probably could find some on one of the selling sites like e-Bay.

Thanks friends! Yes I have those scrolls Kakeladi is referring to, but I bought them yrs ago. They work really well, you could go over the design with really small plain tip or the star tips for thicker scrolls. I've used them a lot.

Thank you jacob58. I've never done wedding cakes, except small ones for family, so it was quite an undertaking for me...I'm 61 yrs old and not sure I can hold out to do many more, but the best part is knowing how good the cake is actually going to taste and look on the inside. Thanks again
