A Gardeners Forum Forums General Discussion The Banter Hall Baking a cake.....

Well between losing power yesterday and my mixer giving out on me this morning....it was a battle, but here it is.

From the start to the almost finished. The final pic will only get to you this week. I can only add the flowers and the topper tomorrow at the hall.


The start of it all.



The crumb coating


The almost finished cake.

Wow, you did have a battle--but the cake is BEAUTIFUL!

You did such a great job Tamara!

I can't wait to see the finished product.

Looks really pretty. I could never do that. Mine would be burnt and lopsided. Good job!

Tamara I am impressed- can't wait to see the finished and decorated cake- I coudn't do that if I had to.... got butterflies yet?

Thats really lovely Tamara,It looks just as good as if you had a proffesional do It,and you have saved yourself some money. I can'nt wait to see It decorated.

Yep tamara you were right to bake the cake yourself--it is beautiful !! if you don't say no one will suspect you did it all yourself. it is definately bakershop quality--and probabily will taste better. !!!

Congratulations----and I too cannot wait to see the finished product !!!

i wish you were here to make my daughter's cake! looks good

What is crumbed toping?

that is a thin layer of icing or glaze you put on a cake before you frost it for real. it keeps all the crumbs on the cake and keeps them from messing up the "pretty" icing.

the bakery my aunt worked in made the crumb coating by watering down the regular icing so it would go on thin.

Have to keep that in mind...........Mine crumb..

HAPPY WEDDING DAY......TAMARA N DAVID.. HAVE A GREAT DAY.

Thanks for explaining that Jiffy,, I learn something new everyday here!
