Last week I wrote a post about the Ice Palace part of my daughter’s Frozen birthday cake. The second part of her “Anna cake” was the scene from Olaf’s song In Summer where they are having a picnic on the grass. The Ice Palace cake was vanilla so of course this one had to be chocolate.
The recipe is my standard chocolate cake – I doubled the amounts to feed the hoards of party guests and used 2 x 9 inch tins. I used plain vanilla frosting between the layers and then coloured a batch of vanilla frosting green to cover the cake. First I covered the whole cake in a thin layer of the frosting before using a grass effect piping nozzle to make the grass on top of the cake.
The picnic blanket is made from flower paste :
Colour some flower paste red then roll out and cut into strips.
Roll out white flower paste to a size larger than the blanket you want to create.
Colour some flower paste red then roll out and cut into strips.
Lay the strips over the rolled out white flower paste and use a rolling pin to embed the red into the white.
Use a pizza wheel to cut the shape of the blanket.
I used plunger cutters to make sugar paste daisys for the top of the cake with sugar pearls in the centre for pollen. – make a dimple in the middle of the flower with the end of a paint brusha nd use edible glue to secure the sugar pearl.
I made more flowers from coloured fondant and added them to the sides of the cake. I also made a sugar paste Olaf and a sugar paste Anna for the top of the cake.
Ooh looks amazing!!!
