Combining Cake Flavors & Frosting
Baking By sophiadelicacies Updated 21 Jan 2020 , 7:38pm by kakeladi
Hi,
this is my first query. thank you cake central for this platform.
Im supposed to bake & decorate my daughters First Holy communion cake. the room temp will be around 20 deg C, I prefer finalizing it one day ahead & refrigerate. i have a large ice box to transport. i will have rosary, bread, challice, wheat stalks & grapes made with fondant. the sponge i will bake in 12 inch x 4 inch pan. guests around 60 mix.
my question is what will be suggested for sponge, filling, and smooth frosting or icing to cover the cake. I prefer Whipped cream but will Fondant be OK to place on whipped cream? i dont like butter cream bec of sweetness. any other suggestion leaving aside fondant & butter cream? i want unique yet delicious light cake sponge & filling inside.
any suggestions please .

There is a cooked flour recipe sometimes called 'ermine frosting' that is suppose to be less sweet. I have never made it but there are recipes on here or it can be googled.
I don't think one 12"x4" round cake is going to be enough for 60 people. As for the flavor of the cake & icing that will be whatever you want! Lemon sounds good to me but is usually more of a summer flavor. What about doing butter pecan (filled with pastry cream or Bavarian creme) Try chocolate or strawberry marbled? Filling for either of those could be strawberry buttercream OR jam;
I don't know for sure but think I read that fondant over whipped cream does not work. I'm sure someone else who knows for sure will jump on here to let you know.
