This week, I did cake decorating. The recipe I chose came from a Disney cake book. It was a dragon cake and it was very simple to do.
You will need:
8 spearmint leaves (6 halved width wise)
5 square chocolate covered biscuits or after dinner mints halved diagonally
2 marshmellows
4 chocolate chips
2 rollups
2 skewers
2 22cm round cakes
ICING
250g butter
2 1/2 cups icing suger
4 tbs milk
vanilla essence
green food colouring
First, freeze the cakes overnight. This will ensure that they are easier to ice and cut.
Make the icing by whiping the butter with electric mixer until it is as white as possible. Then sift in about half of the icing sugar and the milk and essence. Beat until smoothe. Add the rest of the icing sugar and beat until combined. Add the colouring to make it your desired shade.
Prepare your lollies.
Cut one of you cakes in half, then sandwidge them together with icing. You should now have a fat semi-circle. Put it onto the board with the flat cut side downwards.
Cut the other cake as shown in this template.
Assemble the dragon as shown.
Cover the dragon with the green icing.
The biscuits get placed along the spine, from the head to the tail, to form spikes.
The mint leave halves are used for tallens on the feet.
The marshmellows are used for the eyes. Poke a hole into the top of them with skewers and put one chocolate chip into each hole point down. The remaining two mint leaves are used as eyebrows.
The last two chocolate chips are used for nostrils.
the Rollups are for the wings. un-roll them and cut one corner off. Use the Skewers and start at the cut off corner and roll them up, stopping at the middle.
Cut along the edges to create semi-circle marks.
Put into the cake just before serving because they will sag quickly.
