Christening Cake
|
Christening cake decorating ideas often feature the cross and come in pastel shades. Although this cake was made for a boy, simply switching the clue to pink makes it suitable for a girl's christening.
You will need:
14" round cake board
2 - 12" cakes
buttercream icing
blue or pink food coloring (for a boy or girl)
tips #2,16,22
Place cake on cake board. Fill and frost cakes with white buttercream icing.
Fill a pastry bag with either blue or pink buttercream frosting. Use tip #2 to draw a cross in the center of the cake.
Fill another pastry bag with white buttercream frosting. Use tip #2 to draw a dot outline around the cross.
Use either blue or pink icing to create smaller dots on top of the dot outline, also with tip #2.
Cover the top of the cake with white cornelli lace, using tip #2, except for the inside of the cross.
Using tip #16, pipe a ruffle border around the top edge of the cake. (The technique for the ruffle is the same as for the shell, except the tip is wiggled while piping).
Using tip #22, pipe a ruffle border around the base of the cross cake.
Using either pink or blue icing, pipe dots in between the ruffles on the top and bottom borders, using tip #2.
Using tip #2 and either pink or blue icing, surround the cross with wave design.
Write message on the cake with the #2 tip, using either blue or pink icing.
