Wedgwood Blue
Wanted to experiment with different techniques since I was making my own birthday cake. I had to revise my attempts, one being lace on the cake, as it's been so hot, humid and rainy. Lace just was drying. I wanted to try and get the lacey look from my china tea cup, my inspiration, but wasn't too be. So plan B. There's always a plan B! Two bottom tiers are cake dummies, top is coconut cherry Victoria sponge. Recipe courtesy of Katy NOTT of CWB. Unfortunately, although I stored my cake in the coolest room, the cake seems to have developed a bulge....this after having to put the fondant on the cake ..twice! Grrrr. Thank goodness this wasn't for a customer....just little ole me. I made the cameo with a mould courtesy of Mel of SugarandSpiceCakes....thanks Mel.

Thanks Betty. I'm thinking it was something to do with either the amount of time in the fridge, or the temperature of the fridge (too cold......) I was following a Quaint Cakes tutorial to the letter, and the process was different to what I would normally do, so it has to be something to do with that.

Sometimes when I've used frozen cake layers and iced them to quickly, my bc traps moisture from the cake or a air bubble gets trapped and will make a small bulge. I prick it with a toothpick. Now I crumb coat, let it set a little while before doing final decoration. Doesn't happen all the time.

So strange Katy...I've never had this with a bc covered cake...never. Fondant, yes...

No - just white chocolate frosting...............it was a Madeira recipe from Quaint Cakes that I hadn't done before.

OK girls, I have looked, and I do not seem to have a Victoria Sponge cake recipe. Hint, hint!
Sent Katy's recipe to you Bonnie..... :o)

no - it was just a crumb coat then a bc covering. Had it in the fridge for a while, then when I took it out and it warmed up to room temp - boffo!

Ok....now that's weird??? Was there ganache underneath the bc???
