Wheatgrass Wedding Cake
Just did this today. The simple 3 tier cake was surrounded by fresh wheatgrass on the display table. Reminded me of Easter a bit! I wish I had put the cake on a higher stand though, as the bottom tier was nearly swallowed up by the long grass!
What is: Martha's Italian Meringue Buttercream? Please let me know if possible. Thank you. This cake is very beautiful.
This is one of my most favorite designs ever. I love it!! Martha's recipe can be found right on her website Serena. :)
WOW how did you manage to smooth so nicely this cake, it looks perfect.
Such nice crisp corners ... looks great :)
that's crazy smooth! LOL...please share your secret!
Great crisp corners! How in the world did you do it?
It's Martha's Italian Meringue Buttercream. It really helps if it's at room temperature...not too cold. It smooths like a dream! That...and practice!
I forgot to mention the cake's flavour. It is a triple-layer Toasted Walnut & Pineapple Carrot Cake with Orange Sour-cream Cream Cheese Frosting. SOO YUMMY!!!
You Icesd the he** out of that cake wow
Beautiful smoothing job and nice sharp looking cake, can't say as I care for the grass hiding the cake though (Just my opinion) The cake sounds' delicious to say the least!
No, I absolutely agree. I was told the grass would be a few inches tall, so only to make a styrofoam stand that was maximum 2" tall! Well, the grass was about 6"...completely hiding the first tier. Quite disappointing!!
Great Job... Please show us how you get your cakes so smooth and your edges so straight.
I don't really know how to explain that, but using a ruler is an easier way to ice them straight.
this goes to show that you dont have to have all those extra decorations to make a cake look fantastic....this looks wonderful
I love the simplicity! Classy and elegant and sounds like it tasted good too!
I can see how a ruler would help. Thanks for the tip. Maybe one day you can get someone to take pics as you do it and you can put a tutorial on CakeCentral.
What size of pans did you use? How many did this cake serve?
It was 6", 9" and 12" squares...that combo feeds 126 (4.5" tall x 2" long x 1" thick slices)
There is actually a tutorial about how to make perfect corners on the site already!!
