Date¡G2006.1.22. Body¡G9" cake dummy. Decoration¡G fondant, royal icing, color paste, luster dust (super gold and rouge flambe), and grain alcohol. Tools¡G rolling pin, piping bag, tip#1 & #L1, wax paper, and brush. Base¡Gcardboard, fondant and ribbon. ¡@ When I was thinking of making a cake for Chinese New Year, I found it is so difficult to express the spirits of Chinese culture by using the typical cake decorating skills and designs... since "cake" itself is a western form of celebration. Suddenly, something came to my mind that I might be able to use royal icing to create the traditional Chinese paper-cutting pattern on the cake. I spent about 2 hours on drawing the pattern, and then used red royal icing to trace it on a piece of wx paper. On the next day, cover the cake dummy with rolled fondant, and then brush with gold dust (dissolved in grain alcohol). At last, put the paper-cut icing on top and made 4 Chinese knots on bottom to cover the edges. Gold and red are the traditional colors for Chinese New Year. Wish everyone a prosperous and happy new year!! |
