Chocolate cake, filling and ganache with curls- very rich!
I made this for my husband's coworker and his wife for their 2nd anniversary. White cake w/strawberry filling- swiss merengue buttercream.
Week 3
Class 2nd week- pulled flowers
First week of class.
I did this cake for my husband's birthday. First time I've filled/torted a cake. It turned out really good. I did not care for the cake recipe I used, it was more like a pound cake so not as light and kind of dry when it was cold. The filling I just cooked down two pkgs of frozen raspberries with enough sugar to taste and cornstarch to thicken. I used Wilton whipped frosting mix which is a staple in my kitchen- love it!!!
I got some ideas from others who have done MMC cakes before so thank you! The entire clubhouse is made from styrofoam covered in fondant except for the head- I used 3 balls, skewered them together and covered them in royal icing. This was not easy. In hindsight, I probably should have covered them in royal icing then covered with thin layer of fondant and then maybe painted back over with the royal- the royal took a long time to dry. I did this over a few week period. I was still happy with it- my family thought I bought it, so not sure if that is a compliment or an insult knowing the cake I did for my son's first birthday and that I like to do cakes! Oh well! My son loved it!
I made this cake for my son George's 1st birthday. My first attempt at something this large. I cut myself short on time so it was hairy there for a bit before everyone arrived. I used some store bought candies to accent the cake. My attempt at making trees from pretzels and fondant leaves fell flat- I made the leaves too thick and not early enough so they were heavy and not dry- they started to fall apart. But overall I was proud of what I did.
