Sweet Inspiration and Culinary Adventures!
I've said it once, birthdays are wonderful. A time to remember how amazing life can be and the joys it brings to all of us. I had the great honor of celebrating with my favorite cousin, J. Vanilla on vanilla was the request. I tested a new vanilla cake recipe. I think I found a winner! It stayed so moist and was absolutely delicious.
I made my classic vanilla buttercream. For the filling I chose a white chocolate, raspberry ganache. Boil 1 cup whipping cream for 5 minutes, take off heat and add 5 oz. white chocolate to melt. Refrigerate for 1 hour to set. Add chopped raspberries to cream mixture after 1 hour refrigeration. Pour over cake layer.
This was my first square cake, and it was so much fun to make! I "wrapped" it to represent a present. I made my own fondant - wrapping the entire cake with white fondant. I then colored the remaining fondant blue and used strips for the ribbon. I wrapped 1/4" strips around dowel rods and let dry to make the curliques.
The cake turned out beautifully. Happy Birthday, J!
