Rose Shaped Cake

Author: Flavelo
Recipes Cakes and Desserts
This cake is the entry level to confectionery sculpture. Not just flavour matters, but form too. The special cake tin provides the base, but fondant covering makes it truly lifelike. Fondant, this sugar dough, allows creating fine details like petal curves or leaf veins that would be hard to imitate with cream.

Instructions

1 ✓

Preheat oven to 180°C. Grease the tin extremely thoroughly, ensure fat reaches every crevice, then flour.

Tip: For detailed moulds, 'release' is critical. If butter is missing somewhere, the cake will stick hopelessly and tear the pattern.
2 ✓

Mix flour, baking powder, salt. Cream butter with sugar, add eggs, then alternately milk and flour mixture. Colour half the batter pink and pour marbled into the tin.

Tip: Marbled pattern shows upon slicing, making slices visually more exciting.
3 ✓

Bake for approx. 25-30 mins. Let cool in tin for 10 mins, then gently turn onto wire rack.

Tip: Lukewarm cake is more stable than hot. If turned too soon, it may break under its own weight.
4 ✓

Make the cream: whipped cream + cream cheese + icing sugar. Coat cooled cake thinly.

Tip: This cream layer acts only as 'glue' for the fondant.
5 ✓

Knead and roll out fondant. Shape petals and leaves, and arrange artistically on the cake.

Tip: Hand warmth makes fondant malleable. If sticky, use cornflour or icing sugar for dusting.
6 ✓

Attach pearls (can use tiny bit of water), and chill before serving.

Tip: During chilling, fondant hardens slightly, holding its shape.

Recipe FAQ

Why does fondant sweat in the fridge?
Fondant is sugar-based, so it attracts moisture (hygroscopic). If the fridge is humid, the surface becomes sticky. Store in a cardboard box, not plastic!
