UPDATE: Full tutorial for a Cross Cake here!
So I have been throwing around an idea for a new cake.
There are really beautiful scroll design techniques that I have been adoring from afar and I finally talked myself into trying one out.
This is a simple white cake with chocolate buttercream frosting and… well… I’ll tell you more about it in a bit.
Let me just say, the simple white cake recipe I tried did not turn out well and I highly doubt I will ever try it again.
The chocolate buttercream frosting tasted like bland brownie batter to me. Which is weird because my vanilla buttercream is almost identical to that and I LURVE it.
This is my first ever frosting rose(or some other indistinguishable flower).
But now is the fun part.
The next part of the cake is devils food. I did it bakerella style.
I baked the devils food cake then crumbled it and added about half a container of cream cheese frosting. It was now very easy to work with.
Can you guess what this cake is?
How about now???
This is my Faith Cake.
Not a “t” cake Mr. Tim, but good guess.
When I think of Christmas, I think about Jesus! And I wanted so badly to make a cake that would represent something from His life… so I made this cake with a cross in it.
I think this cake would be perfect if I used white buttercream with red scrolls and a green bottom border.
You just may see that coming up!
If anyone wants it, I will try and do a tutorial about how I made this cake… is there at least five folks out there who would actually want a tutorial??
Mmm I love mixing the cake with cream cheese! This cake is beautiful Amanda!
I am too dense for a tutorial on this….it would make my head spin. I’d better just stick to ooohhh and ahhhhhh via pictures.
Our family makes a cake every year for Jesus’s birthday. We light candles and sing “Happy Birthday”.
I showed the pictures to H & K….H said, “Oh, there’s a cross of a church”. And then so did K as much as she could say those words!
B E A U T I F U L to say the least!
You rock Amanda!
WOW! Beautiful cake! It looks so yummy. I would love to know how to make it but since I have no cake carrier right now (its on my Christmas list) I probably wouldn’t make it at this time. But it sure is elegant looking. Did you do the scroll work free hand?
I did Amanda!! I just got a cake carrier at Walmart for $6.99! (i think) anyway,it was cheap and works really well!
Blessings!
Now, that is really cool!
I do, I do! Want a tutorial that is! 🙂 I was wondering if it was possible to make chocolate buttercream frosting. I love the homemade vanilla buttercream frosting. I wonder why it didn’t come out…
BTW, I still haven’t heard back from Guiness yet. I wonder what their hold up is! 🙂
Very nice! The roses take practice, you’ll get the hang of it soon. Once you do, you’ll be whipping them out super quick 🙂
WOW! Beautiful cake!!! I love it. 🙂
Thank you Jessica! I cant believe how sweet that is! he he Sorry. Whenever I see your blog name I say in my head How sweet IT IS! Im weird.
I would love to try this out! Perty please let us know how you did it!!! 🙂
