Sarah's Birthday Cake
This is a copy of alimonkey's "Pink Daisies and Ganache" cake--so simple and fun! The birthday girl was very pleased with it. White cake with raspberry mousse, chocolate cake with cookies n' cream filling, vanilla buttercream, chocolate glaze and gumpaste daisies. Ignore the messy counter, I was rushing to the party, ok? :-D
Gorgeous and it looks delicious. Do you mind if I copy someday?
This is absolutely beautiful...great job! May I ask a silly question? How does one transport a cake like this?
Sorry...more questions! How did you stack these cakes? May I presume that you put the ganache on the top layer prior to stacking? What size of cake pans did you use? Ok no more questions....for now!!! I absolutely love this cake!
Gorgeous colour combo, so pretty. And it looks tasty too.
Hey mclean: I got the glaze recipe from the Whimsical Bakehouse cookbook. It's basically a ganache with a little corn syrup added.
It is soo pretty and looks delicious :wink:
It is soo pretty and looks delicious :wink:
Hi kelleygrl: Thank you! I copied it from one of alimonkey's cakes, so no, I don't mind at all--it's not really my idea! :D
Hi mclean: I glazed both cakes and then put them in the fridge to set before stacking. These are 6" and 9" tiers. I had the cake on a 12" base, so I put it in a 12" box, covered over lightly with plastic wrap, and put it on the passenger seat of my car, with a yoga mat on the seat to prevent sliding.
Thanks so much for letting me know how you did this! Can you direct me to a chocolate glaze recipe? I would really, really love to copy this!
Lovie this... and isn't this what everyone's counter looks like? :wink:
