My sister-in-law asked me to bake a cake for my nephew's 2nd birthday this saturday, she then asked me to make it an Iggle Piggle one and I don't even know what an Iggle Piggle looks like! I said I'm happy to make the cake, that's easy enough but wasn't sure about decorating it.
Hubby said to his Sis, Mum and Nan not to worry, he'll decorate it, after all how hard can icing be He has no idea, he's NEVER even made icing let alone decorated a whole cake.
So I'm getting the stuff tonight, I'll bake it tomorrow night and we'll see how he gets on with the decorating (I'll make sure I'm out of ear shot as I won't enjoy the language )
Just a quick question for any expert cake bakers out there, they requested a chocolate cake and I want a really light sponge so I was thinking of using 3 layers of swiss roll type cake, top and bottom layer chocolate with a vanilla layer in the middle then sandwich the layers with butter cream (and maybe jam too). What do you think, would that work?
