Marble
The many things that went wrong⦠Cake was made in 2 nights â Iâd have given myself 4 for a first-time tiered cake.... It was *supposed* to be a topsy-turvy â hm⦠pastry cream not a good filling choice?... I resolved to boring flat, leveled and mortared but it still flooded out at a few spots⦠Conveniently, I have a bunch of tween girls to blame for the seams showing, they insisted on âhelpingâ me assemble it at the park â when all hands were off the cake, there wasnât a single straight wall in sight⦠:-)
What a great cake! The marbling is fantastic and I see no issues with the cake!
looks fantastic!
that marbling looks amazing! I wish I knew how to get it to look like that!
It looks fantastic!
I'm likin' the marbles - aren't they more difficult to keep the effect than the tiers? Cool cake.
Now, what did you say was wrong with this cake again??? :roll: It's GORGEOUS.
And what's wrong with this cake?? Looks perfect to me. Pls share your technique.
:) THANK YOU, Everyone, this was the greatest CC to wake up to! I used a marbling method I saw in a book: a sausage of one color is twisted around a sausage of the other. I did that twice, with alternating thicknesses, about 12â-15â long. Then all four twisted sausages were twisted again together, turned into a spiral (book said just bend halfway) and then rolled. Sheet looked almost like a rose (!) but was too thin, so I gently folded it (no kneading) with an added small sausage twist in the center.->>
->> Thus, the see-though effect on the first tier. Second tier was made from the lightly kneaded leftovers of the first, twisted with the noire. On the last one, I twisted three sausages â white, noire and the kneaded leftovers. Overall, since I was going for something fast with high impact, I found this to be an easy solution. Marbles were rolled of the random leftovers. Cake was vanilla with pastry cream, middle tier was pumpkin cake with cream cheese filling. Thanks again for the support!
oh my goodness I LOVE this cake! I'm adding to my favorites and hope to make mine look as good as yours!
