(Probably Dumb) Simple Syrup Question
Decorating By TurksandCaicos Updated 21 Apr 2019 , 2:36am by -K8memphis
I need to prepare simple syrup for a cake (never used it before though) and have a few quick questions:
---Is it ok to apply the simple syrup after I get the cakes out of the freezer and before I frost them? Or should the simple syrup be applied after the cakes are baked but before they are wrapped to go in the freezer?
---If I should apply the syrup after the cakes are taken out of the freezer but before they are frosted, how long should I wait to let the syrup soak in?
---Is there a rule of thumb concerning how much to use on the cake layers for their size? I don't want to make my cakes mushy.
Thanks in advance for any help!
I put mine on before freezing -- in fact I fill the layers too and freeze all that together -- take them out and ice them frozen --
here's an old picture -- hope it comes through
Like kakeladi, I never use simple syrup on my layers. I have, many times, made a glaze similar to simple syrup, and I apply it while the cake is still hot, shortly after taking it out of the oven.
