Rustic Cake

/ Go2Cakes / 3 Comments

Hey guys!

To close this week with a golden key, let me show you my buttercream rustic cake.

This imprint technique is pretty simple, you just use a fork to mess your perfectly smooth buttercream (yes… this can be harsh… LOL). You can use this technique anytime you want to achieve a wood-like texture, for example.

Although is not a cake made for a hot/humid weather (the buttercream can overreact, decide to leave the building and just melt when under heat) on a tempered climate it can easily be outside of your fridge for up to 3 days (depending on your choice of filling as well, of course).

About:

  • 6 inches x 4,5 inches cake
  • Buttercream finish
  • Piped roses (Tip 103)
  • Piped leaves (Tip 352)

Project 10 - Quilling Toppers

 

To make up for my absence the past days/week, I’ll try to catch up with the posts this week 😉 by  displaying some new designs and opening my recipe section – where I plan to post something new once a month.

Today, I present to you a quilling cake topper. Not only it is completely edible (all made with gum paste, no wires) but it also looks pretty good on a B-day  cake.

Happily Ever Afters

If you have a sweet tooth, these beauties are definitely for you.

A tradition in Brazil, borrowed from Portugal, the “bem casados” (happily marrieds, or, for me, happily ever afters) are a gift the newly weds give to their beloved guests for having attended the ceremony.

Despite the variations that are popping up (brownies and gingerbread based; with chocolate, lime, pistachio and pecan fillings) they normally consist of two small circle of sponge cake attached by a decadent dulce de leche filling and coated with sugar. They are fluffy, moist, sweet (have I mentioned sweet? I think I need to emphasize it… ;)) and a party in your mouth. I could risk saying they are the macaroons of cakes, but without all the crumbling.

I’ll be posting some recipes soon and this is one that you should surely try.
