Decorated cake: Xiangyun Tuoshou

Overview

This cake was ordered as early as January after I delivered my first birthday cake. I never mentioned it again, thinking it was a dirty deal. Unexpectedly, a month later, it would be brought up again. Of course, the cake given to the elderly must be birthday cakes. The auspicious clouds for longevity are actually the word longevity on the auspicious cloud pattern. It's a bit difficult to specify double layers. Our family only has 8-inch and 6-inch models. To be honest, if the 6-inch model is squatting on the 8-inch model, the ratio is really not very good. I wanted to be lazy, so I would be more prudent. However, this is not just a matter of a stocky body. When squatting from 6 inches to 8 inches, the distance between the 8-inch top edge and the 6-inch bottom edge is too small. If you want to make an inner and outer ring lace, it will be too crowded, and all the initial ideas have to be rejected. In the end, I decided to change the size to 6 inches. You don’t need to cut too much, just 4.5 inches. The first time I made a double layer, I lost 10,000 yuan of caution. I'm always worried that the lower layer will be damaged when I apply the dough on the upper layer of the cake. I'm afraid that something will happen, but fortunately the damage is not too deep and it can basically be covered up when piping flowers. There was no detailed plan for this cake, and many details were constantly added in during subsequent operations. In fact, the most important purpose of those details is to use up as much whipped cream as possible.
