Why use icing to decorate cake?
There are many alternatives to icing. Melted chocolate thinned with a little cream. Whipped cream and fruit.(Strawberries, in fact any berries, cherries, slices of kiwi fruit, and passion fruit are colourful.) For a special occasion dip strawberries or cherries in melted chocolate half way. Dust the cake with sifted icing sugar, a pattern can be achieved using a paper doily. Jam and shredded coconut.
Can you add sparkle dust to icing?
Yes, you can add sparkle/lustre dust to buttercream or royal icing. Simply add a little and mix well to create a shimmer. I have done this several times and unless you have a small amount of icing you will need a lot of the dust to really be able to see it.
Is icing sugar same as fruit sugar?
No - icing sugar is made from glucose and is simply white sugar finely ground to make confectioner's sugar or powder sugar. It often has small amounts of cornflour added. It is used to dust baked goods or to make an icing or frosting by adding small amounts of liquid or fat. Fruit sugar is made from fructose and is preferred by some people for dietary or allergy-related reasons. It is a form of granulated sugar. You could make icing sugar from fruit sugar by grinding it finely in a food processor and adding a small quantity of cornflour. If you're baking a cake and have run out of sugar you could substitute the same weight or volume of fruit sugar or a smaller volume or the same weight of icing sugar (because icing sugar is more finely ground than granulated sugar the same weight of icing sugar wil occupy less volume).
How 2 make a 3d cake?
If your son or daughter is a huge fan of monster trucks, a 3-D monster truck cake is a wonderful birthday surprise. Luckily, since the trucks are pretty boxy, they are simple to replicate in cake form. It can be hard to visualize what a monster truck looks like, so keep a picture handy for reference. # == # Step 1 Bake two 9-by-13 inch sheet cakes using a boxed cake mix or your own recipe. Take the cakes out of their pans and lay them on racks to cool for 20 minutes. Place one of the cakes on your serving board and frost the top and the sides with chocolate icing, or another icing that is a shade of brown. (This cake will be the ground.) Sprinkle graham cracker crumbs on top of the cake to simulate the dust on the monster truck obstacle course. # Step 2 Cut off one third of the second sheet cake lengthwise. Trim the smaller piece with your knife to form the shape of the truck's hood and cab. (It should be half sloped and half flat. Use your monster truck image as a guide.) Take the remaining two-thirds of the second cake and place it atop of the cake you just frosted, relatively in the center, to form the truck's body. Frost this cake with vanilla icing, adding food coloring as needed to make it the color you'd like your truck to be. # Step 3 Stack the piece you trimmed on top of the rest of the second cake with the sloped part facing to the left and meeting the left edge of the second cake exactly. Frost it with your remaining vanilla icing in the same color you just used. # Step 4 Trace windows in your cab's icing using a toothpick. (Again, your truck image will help.) Draw four side windows, a back window and a windshield. Then cut your foil to match the areas you've traced. Place the foil on the cake for a shiny and almost glass-like look. (It will easily stick to the icing.) Put two to four marshmallows on top of the cab to form the monster truck's lights. # Step 5 Place the donuts on the cake board and stick them to the body of your monster truck with your chocolate icing. The tires should overlap both the second cake and the first cake. Remember, they are pretty big on the real thing. Use your icing bag with tips to draw door handles, a bumper, a car number, flames or any other embellishments you would like on your cake. # == #* Ingredients for two cakes Two 9-by-13 inch rectangular cake pans Two tubs of chocolate icing Two tubs of vanilla icing Graham cracker crumbs Cake board or plastic serving board Knife Mini marshmallows Toothpick Aluminum foil Scissors Four chocolate glazed donuts One or more bags of colored decorator icing with tips
How do you make a jelly roll?
You make a sponge cake in a shallow baking sheet. When it is done, you turn it out onto a slightly damp towel and roll it up. Let it cool rolled up. When cool, unroll the cake, spread the jelly or jam of your choice on the cake and roll it back up. Put the end on the bottom of the roll, dust it with powdered sugar and you have a jelly roll.
