8. Changing to... create a fun cake for someone.
This one could be fun... or things could go horribly wrong.We have a dessert auction at church. Last year, I made a round chinese checkers cake using fruit rollups & gumballs, and a square checkers cake using Andes mints squares, and Hershey's Kisses and Hugs for the pieces. This year, I've decided to try and make a topsy turvy cake. I baked the 3 cakes... so far, so good.
I'm supposed to use fondant to cover the layers, but fondant doesn't taste too good, so I'm going to try to use regular butter cream frosting. Hopefully the weather is still cool enough that it won't melt down the sides.
The one thing I would do differently is freeze the cake layers longer, since they were difficult to cut. I would also use dramatically different sizes of pans... I had to trim them down a bit so that there was more of a difference.
All in all it turned out okay, but not fabulous. Good thing it's the beginning of birthday season at our house, so I can continue to find unique cakes to make from March until May.
