Hello Everyone!
I joined a few weeks ago and have been enjoying the recipes. I need some help with a cake for my hubby. It's his 40th birthday on Easter Sunday. I bought napkins and plates that say "aged to perfection" This isn't exactly true, but I don't want to do the over the hill thing. LOL Anyway, I was thinking of making a two layer round cake and making it look like a round of cheese, cutting out a wedge, getting a little plastic mouse to put on the plate and a sign on top that reads "Aged to Perfection" Now, for the help:Pardon my language, but my icing and decorating skills just plain SUCK!!! What is the easiest way that I can make this cake look like a round of cheese? I have Swiss cheese in mind and was thinking about using rolled yellow fondant with different size holes cut out and putting that over a frosting of black or orange. I've never used fondant like that. Is there a better easier way? I was thinking of making a cake shaped like a scotch bottle instead, but have no idea how to do that. Any ideas there? I am so sorry for such a long letter! Oh, and I need to carry this cake to the party destination. I have an old round microwave tray that I think would be great, but no top for it. We only have to go a couple miles. Thank you so much for listening [reading] Janny PS - the cake doesn't have to tie in with Easter. ------------------------ Yahoo!
