I borrowed a large cup cake tin from a friend. Should have returned it then & there.
I wanted to make a nice cake for the student teacher in ds class, ds really likes her, so to say thank you i thought this cake would be nice.
1. Cooked at different rates, the top 1/2 was cooked and the large base wasn't! Should have thought oh well freeze it and serve with ice cream for 1 month.
2. Botton cake came out of tin OK, top cake slightly burnt and broke in 2.
3. Stuck together OK with butter icing
4 looks like the leaning tower of pisa
5. Piping on top great, OK we can fix this, should have ad a stiff drink at this stage, but no continued on
6. Piping on side kept falling off, wouldn't stay on!!!!!
7. OK we will just smooth icing round, wrong
8. Run out of icing, used 550g butter already, now have to make yellow the same
9.icing good, OK Leys Make it look like a children's ice cream,
10 find 100's & 1000's stick them on the base and then silver balls at the top. Of course not enough 100's etc so very patchy.
Now looks like something ds has made.
Not happy, cant ditch it as a waste, will taste Good but looks amateurish.
Anyway How do you pipe on the side.
