Today I thought I’d share a cake decorating idea. I made
this one for my niece’s 5th birthday, as requested, in the style of
the movie, Frozen. The characters were
from a game board I gave her as a gift.
So I started out with a 4 layer chocolate cake. I filled each layer with vanilla swiss
meringue buttercream, and iced the outside in the same. I tinted some of the icing with blue food gel
from Wilton and then swirled it with white, mixing the two together a little
bit where they met at the bottom of the cake.
I sprinkled the sides and tops with blue and
white decorating sugar and snowflake sprinkles.
For the top, I melted white chocolate wafers, tinted half of
that with the same blue gel paste, and then spread them out on silicone baking
sheets to let dry. Then I used a pizza
cutter to cut them in the shapes of ice shards and stuck them in on the top of
the cake.
I’d love to see pictures if you make something similar!
