Spring Roses Mega Cake

I’m DELIGHTED to celebrate Spring with my new cake!

Celebrate with a special floral syrup flavor with Sir Squeeze!

It's almost Spring and I'm SO excited! Flowers are a great sign that the weather's getting warmer and who doesn’t love roses?! The HTCI Hottie helped round out the rose flavour with Turkish Delights for a celebration of Spring in my Spring Roses Mega Cake!

Starting with 12lbs of my Ultimate Vanilla Cake dyed pink, this cake is a welcome way to celebrate Spring! I’m stacking this cake up with some Italian Meringue Buttercream, and topping it all off with lots of pink, rosy accents like Turkish Delights and rock candy!

Warm up from Winter and head over to my YouTube channel here!

Bake Your Cakes

Prepare all 9lbs of batter and divide into thirds with each bowl having 3lbs of batter. Dye each into a pink ombre and pour into each of your 8” round cake pans. Bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 1 hour 30 minutes. Let your cakes cool completely in their pans.

Level Down & Layer Up

Remove your cakes from the pan. Use a ruler and serrated knife to level your cakes, and layer each in half horizontally.

Remove the Caramelization

Remove the caramelization from the bottom of your cake. Remove the caramelization from the sides of your cakes using a 7" round pan to guide you, revealing their beautiful pink color!

Keep It Simple

Use Sir Squeeze-A-Lot to soak all of your cake layers with Rose Water Simple Syrup

Build Your Cake

Starting with your darkest pink cake, begin stacking your layers using Italian Meringue Buttercream, placing pieces of pink rock candy between each layer until you reach the top

Crumb Coat + Chill

Crumb coat your cakes with a thin layer of buttercream, and chill for 20 minutes or until firm.

Ice, Ice, Cakey!

After you’ve removed your cake from the fridge, apply another layer of Italian Meringue Buttercream onto the cake and create a smooth layer to get ready for decorating! Chill for another 20 minutes to firm up.

Create Chocolate Sheets

Roll flat sheets of white modelling chocolate using the lasagna pasta attachment of your stand mixer on setting 2 or 3. Roll your sheets through several times to get nice thin layers, and lay flat on parchment paper.

Get Creative!

After the chocolate has fully chilled, it's time to get creative! Take your flat pieces of white modelling chocolate and create different shapes - fan, roll it up or create a wave pattern… the possibilities are endless - get creative!

Application

Apply your modelling chocolate sheets all around the side of your cake in two layers starting with the bottom row. Add a second row overtop, overlapping them slightly and piecing them together ensuring the chocolate extends 1" above the top of your cake

Tip: if any of your layers fall, fill a parchment paper piping bag with melted white chocolate to "glue" your pieces to each other

Add Color!

Mix clear food grade alcohol with pink lustre dust, and paint the edges of the top layer of chocolate frills.

Note: using coloured alcohol will tint light colors

Filling

Fill the top of the cake with Turkish Delights, from the edge to centre and pile it up! Add any remaining pieces of rock candy to add some more sparkle!

Finishing Touches!

Decorate the edge of the cake plate with dried roses - the scent is amazing!

Tip: To make this cake even more special, add a ribbon around the cake and tie a bow!

Congratulations!
