Today, I'll show you how to create the spectacular
using buttercream, fondant, and royal icing.I'll also give you some tips on how to shape
a cake, that may be less than perfect, soyou can have professional results at home.
These are the materials we'll be using forour
using two nine inch round cakes, and one sixinch round additional layer. We'll be using
about six to eight cups of buttercream frosting.I'll be using a disposable pastry bag, fitted
with its coupling, and a star tip for makingthe borders. We'll be using red, yellow, and
blue food coloring. We'll be using this wirehere, for some decorations. You want to use
a fairly heavy gauge that will be able tostand up, with a little decoration on it.
We'll be using some fondant, some ready madefondant, that you can purchase in a cake decorating
supply store, and with the fondant, you'llneed a little bit of confectioner's sugar,
and a little bit of shortening or margarineto work with it. Also some toothpicks are
handy for coloring fondant, and frosting.You'll need a serrated knife for cutting and
shaping your cake, and you'll need some spatulasfor the frosting. We'll be filling our cake
with a chocolate ganache, and how you makethat is, you use ten ounces of semisweet chocolate.
You can use chocolate chips, or you can usea chocolate bar that you chop up, and you
add to that, one quarter cup of cream, andyou want to melt that over a double boiler.
If you don't have a double boiler setup, youcan put a pan, a smaller pan over a larger
pan, full of water, and that will work also,and you stir that up. You want to melt the
chocolate and the cream together, so thatyou don't have any curdling. This article is from web site cake-for-you.com
