I was kind of making it up on the fly, here's what I did! Start out making a yellow super moist boxed cake. (Yes, I used a boxed cake mix!) After it was baked and cooled, cut it in half across the middle of the cake.
Then add some bananas:
And why not, some chocolate pudding too!
Then put the top back on, but upside down to have a nice, smooth Will Smith flat top.
Now the frosting! I whipped up some heavy whipping cream with a bit of confectioners sugar. I also added a little coconut around the sides to hide my messiness.
Finally~ A flower to make it a little Carrie Bradshaw-esque.
And there she is, all wrapped up and ready for eatin'! But not tonight my good cake, it's late and mama's full. :)
Good start, NoM! Love the final flourish, the CB flower and glass cover.
ReplyDeleteTo cover the messiness, or rather, fix it: Let the frosting rest on the cake for about ten minutes. Take a napkin or paper towel and gently press down to smooth frosting so there are no knife marks/swirls. I hate coconut and would hate to see you rely on THAT for the rest of your baking life! I think I learned this trick from one of my cake decorating classes at JC Penneys.
ReplyDeleteLOL, good tip,thanks! The cake by the way, tasted fabulous! Coconut and all. :)

ReplyDeleteI have since learned, skip the Will Smith flat top. Put the top back on the cut side down and line it up with the bottom of the cake.
