Still pretty new to this cake thing and so now I want to branch out and attempt working with more flavors. (Normally its a plain flavor with vanilla BC) I would like to make and orange flavored cake and fill it with white vanilla chocolate mousse (because I have a few bars that I would like to use up).First of all will this taste good? Then I am hoping to cover it with SMBC. I've only made this one time and I kinda forget what it tastes like, so in my head I cannot put these flavors together. I can't do chocolate-which would go great with orange (because I need to color my frosting) and I was hoping the SMBC would help it not be too sweet. Thoughts???? Thanks much!!!
Mmmm - like a creamsicle!! You can add some orange flavoring to the SMBC as well if you’d like to brighten it up even more.
I would recommend using an orange oil to flavor your cake. I like using the oil more than orange extract. I think those flavors sound great! To color your SMBC, you need to "bloom" the color. Take a small amount of buttercream, add a strong gel food color, mix well and then microwave for a few seconds to melt the buttercream. The color will have become very vibrant. Now use this soupy, bright buttercream to color your larger batch of buttercream. HTH!
