ROD RECIPES 3/5/2007 Bridge Players Day Playing Cards Cake
And just who started all of that bidding? Probably the English! They had
a game called Trump back in the 1500s. This turned into Whist and became
popular with the upper-class in the middle 1700s. Whist went through many
changes, but ended up being the contract bridge game played today.

Playing Cards Cake
Bid fun birthday greetings to your favorite card player with this
delicious cake.
1 recipe Citrus Yellow Cake
1 recipe Whipped Cream Frosting
1 recipe Raspberry Filling
Chocolate-flavored candy coating discs
Red candy coating discs
8 ounces vanilla-flavored candy coating
1. Arrange cooled cake layers with bottom sides up. Spread each with a
small amount of the frosting. Spread Raspberry Filling on top of one of the
cake layers. Invert the remaining cake layer and place on top of the
filling-covered cake layer.
2. Transfer cake to a serving plate. Frost sides and top generously with
the remaining frosting. If desired, place some frosting in a decorating bag
fitted with a large star tip. Pipe frosting along the top edge of cake. Cover
loosely and chill until serving time, up to 24 hours.
3. Meanwhile, prepare garnish. Line a cookie sheet with waxed paper; set
aside. In very small microwave-safe bowls, melt the chocolate and red candy
coating discs. Transfer to disposable decorating bags. Snip a very small hole
in end of each bag. Pipe chocolate spades and clubs onto the waxed paper. Pipe
red hearts and diamonds onto same piece of waxed paper. Chill about 10 minutes
or until designs are hard. Melt vanilla-flavored candy coating in the microwave
or in a small saucepan over low heat. Working quickly, pour evenly over half of
the chilled designs and spread gently to an even thickness. Leave half of your
piped designs uncovered. Shake the cookie sheet gently to smooth out the melted
candy coating layer. Chill until set.
4. To un-mold designs, gently peel waxed paper from the back of the candy
coating. Set aside the designs that are separate and open. You will also have a
sheet of vanilla candy coating that has designs piped on the back side. Turn it
over onto a cutting board. Use a warm sharp knife to cut the sheet into small
rectangles that each have a design. Decorate each piece of cake with a few open
designs and a few rectangles (cards).
Cake serves 12.
