Yesterday, I spent the day making cake layers and frosting for the birthday cakes. Today is assembly day.
Earlier in the week, I learned that my daughter-in-law once worked at an ice cream parlor and knows how to make and decorate cakes.
I said, "WHAT???"
She's coming over this morning to help. I hope to learn some things from her.
Granddaughter #3's cake (the one that must be covered in fondant) is chocolate, and I do mean CHOCOLATE. It will be three layers. I made a double batch of batter and had enough left over for 12 cupcakes. I frosted them with peanut butter cream cheese frosting. The cake will be frosted with ganache, then draped with pink fondant. I had enough peanut butter frosting left over that I could use it between the layers. Might do that.
Granddaughter #1's cake is a grape soda cake. It is seriously purple. We'll frost it with buttercream.
While I was cleaning up the kitchen, Cousin Myra came to visit. I made a pot of coffee and we shared a cupcake. (That peanut butter frosting is amazing.) When The Husband came home, we all went out for dinner.
Time to start working on the cakes. I'll let you know how it goes. ;)
