Beer mug or frothy cafe drink? I was trying to go for a beer mug for my cousin's birthday cake, it's a really simple french vanilla with raspberry filling cake, covered with chocolate fondant and butter cream on top. This is a mini 3.5 in. round cake. It's only a 2 layer cake, although I made 3 layers, I thought 2 might have been enough, but with time, my tall mug became short, probably because the filling probably flattened with time. Anyways, every cake is a continuous learning process. Beer mug, frothy coffee, or hot cocoa, bottoms up!
Kat's birthday was earlier this month but I did not have time to make her a cake, so I finally has a chance to do it! Her favorite flowers are bright happy Gerber daisies, so I made some daisies and did some piping work. The cake is a french vanilla with raspberry filling, covered in fondant with fondant flowers. This cake is a double layer 6 inch round cake. I did all the piping with piping gel, but I'm wondering if piping with butter cream would have been better? Well, trial and error, I guess it's also personal preference. I haven't decided which I prefer, so I'll keep experimenting!
