this one is no longer updated please visit me there thanks lesleyanne posted by lesleyanne at 4 07 pm 0 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest monday november 28 2011 cricut cake princess castle cake my younger daughter is turning four and loves princesses and disney so for her cake this year i wanted to make something special it s her first big girl party with her own friends coming so she was pretty excited i used my cricut cake machine a great purchase but i have some pretty important tips for new users hope they help since it s much different than cutting paper first here s the finished cake it is a vanilla flavoured cake with buttercream filling and icing it s pretty smooth on the outside and might look like fondant covered but the only fondant is the pink purple castle and words it s a tall cake about 6 high my big helper behind and the birthday girl in front the wire wiggly thingies were added on location looked really cute and finishing but they don t travel well and can move around too much blowing out the candles the inside which was yummy even if the colours are horrifically neon so here are my tips and recipes that i ve found are most successful general cake decorating tips start early the cake won t go stale and the cake itself needs time to settle if you re making a stacked cake if you need it for saturday i follow this schedule wednesday bake cake allow to cool level fill and crumb coat set aside in fridge if filling is perishable thursday make fondant wrap up tightly and set aside apply top layer of buttercream to sides and top smooth well friday decorate with fondant cover with plastic wrap and you re ready for tomorrow level your cake please i beg you level it with a big long serrated bread knife cut off the dome on top and have a nice snack or feed it to the kids if you don t level each layer you may not notice it on the bottom layers but the top ones will be clearly domed and it s next to impossible to fix it with filling use gel food colouring not the grocery store liquid stuff believe me it s worth it don t use much this whole cake was tinted with under 1 teaspoon of total colour the cakes used 1 4 tsp of each violet or rose wilton gel colour and the fondant about the same i use a knife tip and just dip it out you don t need much except for black or red but that s a different blog post it s available many places including walmart and michaels smooth your buttercream i use an off center spreading palette and dip it in hot water this prevent too much sticking and melts it just a little to get a nice finish clean off and dip often marshmallow fondant here s the recipe i use this made enough fondant to do this cake with about 1 5 of it leftover a small amount of crisco shortening not margarine nor butter 8 oz marshmallows 15 oz icing sugar powdered sugar 1 to 2 tablespoons water rub a glass bowl with the shortening to coat add marshmallows and water melt in microwave heating for 30 seconds then stirring and repeat until they are melted rub a mixing bowl or the bowl of a bread machine bowl with more shortening dump in melted marshmallows and add icing sugar mix with a bread hook or paddle allow to kneed at least 5 minutes you re looking for a ball of fondant that has everything included no dry bits but not sticking to the sides of the bowl if it s sticky add a small amount of icing sugar a tablespoon at a time if there s dry material still add water drop by drop this is the trickiest part you want the fondant to be leaving the sides of the bowl just past the sticky point but not in any way dry it takes practice start early smear a piece of plastic wrap with shortening and wrap up the fondant tightly wrap in another piece of plastic wrap then put in a baggie set aside for at least a day to tint wearing clean plastic gloves wse gel colors and add a little bit of color 1 4 tsp at most to a small ball of gel kneed until evenly distributed return the tinted ball to the remainder then kneed until completely added and coloured gel colors tend to develop over time so the colour might enhance over the next day you don t need too much color for this step mmf tips start early use a dough hook or your bread machine lid left open so it doesn t heat weigh your measurements baking is tricky and measuring by cups is highly inaccurate it s best to scale your measurements if possible my kitchen scale was fairly inexpensive and is my most used baking tool cricut cake tips did i mention this one already start early cricut cake is tricky at first until you get the feel of your machine and how to cut best i live in a very dry environment so i think this helps me with fondant but make sure you have lots and lots of time to work with your cake roll out you fondant thinly and evenly i can just start to make out the circle lines on my mat with my fondant that s my best thickness for fondant thinner and it s too hard to hold it s shape when taking off the mat thicker and it takes multiple passes to cut freeze it after rolling out i freeze my mat with fondant on it for about 20 minutes i ve left it for up to 5 hours and it was fine as well use multiple mats i had three mats going with this design so i could be cutting while the other two were freezing test your design on paper if you can i have a cricut expression as well so i precut my intended designs on it with paper first then tried to up against my cake to ensure a good fit it makes tweaking measurements a little easier and faster getting stuff off the mat and onto the cake first weed the cut this means to take off all the excess fondant from the design including inside the piece save this fondant you can reroll and reuse don t try to lift the piece with a knife or spatulla you could bend it instead flip the mat over onto a piece of wax paper bend the mat upwards and use the tip of a knife or thin metal spatula to start the fondant peeling off on the wax paper the fondant should be touching the wax paper as you continue to bend the mat backwards you can give it some help with the spatula but it should start to peel off all on it s own you ll be left with the fondant perfectly shaped but upside down on the wax paper that s good brush the back of it lightly with plain water then attach it to the cake peel off the wax paper and you re done buttercream recipe 3 6 oz shortening 4 oz margarine 2 tablespoons milk or cream 16 oz icing sugar powdered sugar cream together shortening and margaring in a large mixing bowl add sugar slowly until all incorporated add milk then beat thoroughly until light and fluffy if too stiff add milk drop by drop until easier to use if too thin soft add sugar by the tablespoon environmental conditions will impact the siffness softness of your buttercream so adjust to suit your kitchen keep icing covered with plastic wrap so it doesn t dry out when not in use okay that s all my tips and recipes for today hope that help you get more use out of your cake it s so worth learning how to use it posted by lesleyanne at 10 01 am 1 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest
