Ingredients
Cake Ingredients
1 batch Stork Beat 'n Bake Cake
2 Two 19cm cake pans
1 quantity Stork Cream Icing
1 40cm white cake plate or board
Decorations
1packet white Tasty Treat choco wafers
200g white chocolate
1 Blue food colouring
1 Baking paper
1 pair blue booties or baby shoes
1 2m blue organza ribbon
Step by step method
- Preheat the oven to 180°C.
- Mix one batch of Stork Beat 'n Bake cake.
- Pour equal amounts into the well greased, lined square pans and bake for 45 minutes or until cooked.
- Turn out onto a cooling rack and allow to cool.
- Place one of the square cakes base side up in the centre of the cake plate or board.
- Spread ⅓ of the icing onto the cake and place the remaining cake base side down to sandwich them together.
- Using the remaining icing, ice the top and sides of the cake, making the icing on top thicker and "fluffing" it with a flat bladed knife.
- Chop up the 200g of white chocolate into chunks, place in a glass bowl and place in the microwave on defrost mode between setting 300 and 400.
- Stop the microwave every 30 seconds and stir the chocolate, until melted. Continue stirring until it becomes thick - this is to temper the chocolate. It will take about 10 minutes.
- Once it begins to get thicker, pour two round discs onto baking paper, the size of the top of a drinking glass, reserving a small amount of white chocolate.
- Allow the discs to set, and mix some blue colouring with the remaining chocolate.
- Place the blue chocolate in a small ziplock bag, and cut a very small corner off.
- On one of the discs, write the baby's name and the date of the christening.
- Place the two discs on the cake, one in each corner, and place the booties on the blank disc.
- Place the white choco wafers around the cake, and then tie the blue organza ribbon around, securing with a bow.
