Rainbow Cake with Buttercream Frosting and Snow White Toppers

Rainbow Cake with Buttercream Frosting and Snow White Toppers

I made this last month. Before baking the cake, my oven thermostat broke. Thank God I stored the contact number of the technician and I smsed him immediately. He went the next day and fixed it the day after. I was afraid I won’t be able to make it on my customer’s deadline, but thankfully I was able to finish it on her desired date.

Aside from the oven, I had problems with the toppers as well some of the character topper’s icing became grainy and wouldn’t dry out, so I have to repeat almost all of them.

I know it’s messy on top. I took the picture before cleaning it up hehe. But anyway this is the interior of the cake. The customer wanted a Rainbow Cake, before bakin

g this cake i was debating whether to bake each cake batter separately or just bake it all at the same time. I’ve decided though to bake it in two separate cake pans, 3 colors each.

I usually don’t place the icing toppers the day before, the reason is when moisture reaches the icing, the icing bleeds and this results to ugly and soft watery toppers. I used to put letter toppers the day before together with the cupcakes and the results always been like that so from then on I always place the toppers before leaving the house that way, the toppers will maintain it’s crunch and bleeding won’t occur.

I have to say disney character toppers are the hardest toppers I have made so far. The eyes are important. I was kind of frustrated that I didn’t get Snow White’s eyes right, it’s just so hard, even if I drew them as a kid, I had a hard time drawing/sketching the eyes, mouth and hands. The dwarfs I kind of got the technique last minute hehe.

I think my favorite dwarf topper would be Grumpy, he looked like Grumpy and he’s so cute. I had fun making this cake although I have to overcome a lot of obstacles as I made this cake, it’s a fulfilling achivement. Below are the rest of the pictures of the dwarves. Thanks for reading my post!

Now that I’m venturing slowing in making customized cakes, I’m in the midst of experimenting how to do fondant perfectly. It’s been a while since I’ve done fondant, (the last time I draped a cake was back in US, while I was in Cake class in California Culinary Acedemy) so please bear with me. 🙂
