Cake

I made a decision to do a lemon cake for the bottom cake of the recipe as I actually am within the lemon period of my life. I used a 500g mixture of cake combine, which break up completely between the 2 cake moulds I used for the numbers. 

You should utilize this recipe for my passionfruit martini cake, however typically it’s 500g of butter, sugar, flour, 9 eggs, after which the zest of three lemons to make up this sponge. I piped the combination into the moulds with some giant piping baggage to make it simpler and neater – they usually took 35-40 minutes to bake.

I used 1.5x the quantity on this recipe, after which added 2tsp lemon extract. It’s extra of a course of to make the swiss meringue buttercream but it surely’s 100% price it I promise

I used a second closed star piping tip for the ornament in some giant piping baggage and put the frosting in the course of the sponges and on high. 

Ornament

When adorning a cake, I do discover it simpler when the sponge is frozen or chilled. As a result of I wished to separate this cake I chilled the cake within the fridge earlier than taking it out of the mould, and in addition earlier than splitting the sponges into the layers rigorously.

I used strawberries, blackberries, raspberries, mini meringues, macarons and naturally sprinkles. This half is only a enjoyable little bit of ornament, and the most effective recommendation is don’t over suppose it – simply have enjoyable with it.
