Birthday Cake For My Husband

July 11 was my husband's birthday.....So I decided to decorate a cake for him..... I was thinking for some nice design......





My hubby wanted a cake which has some flowers on them and then I ended up with this cake.....He loved it....



I made those blossom flowers out of fondant.....and made them dry....Then I iced the cake and piped the leaves with butter-cream icing and placed the flowers on them.....

Hi Sukanya, the cake looks lovely.

I have been baking for years now but hardly ever decorate a cake. Can you help me with a recipe for simple frosting and icing. My hubby's birthday is on friday and I would like to surprise him with a good looking cake.

Hi Raaga:
Welcome to my blog......Mostly cakes are decorated with butter cream icing.....The recipe is

Vegetable Shortening - 1 cup
Vanilla flavor - 1 teaspoon
Milk or water - 4 tablespoon
Confectioners sugar - 1 lb(approx 4 cups)
Meringue powder - 1 tablespoon
salt - a pinch

Method:
Cream Shortening,flavoring and water. Add all the dry ingredients and mix on medium speed untill all ingredients are mixed(7 mins)

This is the basic recipe for butter cream icing....Any colour can to added to it...

Meringue powder will be avail....in any craft store where wilton products are sold....

Any doubts let me know....

Raaga said...

Thank you. I live in India and don't think I can get meringue powder here. Let me try :-)

Sukanya Ramkumar said...

Hi Raaga....
Meringue powder can be substituted with egg whites.......And i think Vegetable Shortening can be sutituted with our India's white butter.....
