Test Cake

So we were on the move yesterday from Wanaka to Queenstown.

As we are now busy exploring Queenstown I will continue to update you on some of the happenings before we left......



The wedding cake for my beautiful October bride is coming up soon and we have been discussing cake flavours.  As a result of this I decided to trial a new cake recipe: a White Chocolate Mud Cake.

I made a range of cake sizes so I could take some to work for some 'external' taste testing and a cake for family dinner.  Very positive responses were made by all!





For the frosting I trialed a recipe for Italian Meringue Buttercream.  Although I have no doubt that this recipe is great and works well, however due to 'operator error' it was a fail for me. 

The icing tasted great, however the constancy left a lot to be desired.  




I know where I went wrong so I will be trying again when we get home .... I have great faith that the next batch will be perfect.
