12 Comments on Cake Anyone? Carroll County, Maryland
These can be a lot of work. I always have trouble with the icing sticking to the cake when trying to spread it on the layers. It rips it apart and gets it all mixed together. It looks like you've had much better luck with yours.
My mom just gave me a bunch of cake decorating stuff, taking a class sounds like a really good idea! How long did it take you to do this cake?
Doug ~ exactly my problem, it looks as if you rolled the cake in crumbs. It has a lot to do with the icing you use. Canned store bought icing doesn't work for me. I use homemade butter cream and start with a crumb layer of icing, once that's dry you can add the final coat of icing a lot easier with out all the ripping. : )
Liz ~ It's so much fun! It took about 2 hours of baking and prep work, making the icing which we did Friday night. The decorating took about five hours because I don't do it often enough to be speedy. My instructor could put a cake like this together in an hour and a half.
Hi Diane! I am right there with you! Cake decorating is HARD!! But you're right, it can be a lot of fun!
Maggie ~ yes indeed. I wish I had more time for it but, that's not what puts food on the table. : )
Diane, it looked wonderful, you made and decorated a great cake. I don't know how to bake a cake, I tried once, middle of the cake sunk.
Diane, I love your cake! That green icing looks completely amazing.
Too funny Diane! I took cake decorating to for the same reasons. I haven't made a fancy cake since probably a year after I took the class! Oh well, it was fun while it lasted. Your cake looks great though so keep up the good work!
LOL! That is so funny! I absolutely HATE to cook but LOVE to watch those silly cake shows on TV. It's facinating,
Diane, Great job on the cake, I am sure your friend was thrilled.
I have often thought about taking a cake decorating class. It's on the list along with singing and dancing lessons, organization class, sailing lessons....my list is long, good for you for actually using what you learned!
