Notes
-
- Use half shortening and half butter for frosting decorations: Substitute out half of the butter in the frosting ingredients with solid vegetable shortening for pipable frosting. The shortening will help frosting decorations hold their shape for longer.
- Buttermilk vs Sour milk: Buttermilk and Sour milk are different, but both have some acidity to them. Some recipes will need this acidity to react with baking soda or baking powder. Buttermilk: is milk that has a bacteria culture added to it and allowed to ferment which gives it a tangy flavor. Sour milk: is a good substitute for Buttermilk and can be bought or made by adding vinegar and lemon juice to regular milk which makes it sour.
- To store decorated cake: Place the cake in the freezer, unwrapped, for 4 hours or more. Once frozen, wrap the cake securely in plastic wrap, then in aluminum foil. Your cake should stay fresh for at least a couple weeks wrapped this way. A day before serving, place in the fridge and loosen the wrapping. Let the cake defrost overnight in the fridge.
- To store undecorated cake: Wrap the individual cake layers in plastic wrap, then aluminum foil. When ready to serve, remove the wrapping and let the cake layers defrost completely in the fridge.
