Did I just ruin her birthday cake?
I made a basic gf confetti cake (Pillsbury) and a 7 minute frosting which I frosted the cake with.. I normal wait till just a few hours before to frost or even make but i was trying to prepare early.. now though I'm unsure and worry it won't last until tomorrow evening. I'd estimate it needs to last another 15 or so hours. Google seems mixed any body have experience with this.

Re: Did I just ruin her birthday cake?
Edit because I misread.
I think it is iffy, probably depends on climate. I'd have ingredients ready to redo if it starts breaking down. 7 minute icing is my favorite, and ime, it can get weird after awhile but I *think* it mostly relates to humidity? Last edited by MegMarch; 03-07-2018 at 03:47 PM. |

Re: Did I just ruin her birthday cake?
Seven minute frosting gets grainy and stiff unless you use a little bit of corn syrup. (The sucrose sugar crystallizes, but the sugar molecule in corn syrup is a different shape and keeps the frosting flexible.) The biggest problem, ime is that if you did not use corn syrup in the frosting, if you touch the frosting, you'll mar the finish. You can't just fix it with a spatula, like you can with buttercream, and you can't patch or fix tears by smoothing and pressing edges like you can with fondant. That said, I've had leftovers last longer than what you need and be just fine, except for the look.

Re: Did I just ruin her birthday cake?
Are you worried it will melt due to the heat of the cake? Or the heat of the surroundings? Can you put it in the fridge overnight to cool down and harden?
ETA: I just saw the other replies.... I posted delayed.

No idea but I just want to pop in and wish a happy birthday to my dd’s birthday twin!
You can make the ruined one into cake pops even if you make a new one.

Re: Did I just ruin her birthday cake?
So I can bake/cook fine but I have like zero decorating skills.. but...
Here it is (not cut yet) I ended up doing a nondairy whipped icing this time with coconut milk heavy cream. She wanted Shopkins last year but when I tried to get some stuff their was nothing so we did a more ballet themed. However she never forgotten so.... yup Shopkins . anyways the cake.. 20180308_013202 by pollardk2612, on Flickr I just bought a 12 pack of Shopkins fromWalmart and Cecilia decided where they would go. It will be like a bonus gift for her. I was trying to be fancy and do this like tri colored frosting thing... Its has pink and purple sprinkles and bitty shopkins though so she will be thrilled

Re: Did I just ruin her birthday cake?
Ha! I'd argue your claim that you can't decorate well. It looks great!
Decorating birthday cakes for me is pretty much always leaving the cake in the pan and smothering a layer of frosting across the top.
