5/25/2020 0 Comments Week 10: 4/27-5/3This week Kimball bakes a two-layered red velvet cake. This was probably one of the hardest items that was made because of all the steps and the decorating. The cake was all made from scratch and so was the icing.
Kimball says that the process of baking the cake took about two hours. She had to let the cake cool for a few hours then she had to put the crumb coat of icing on the cake, after that the cake was put in the fridge over night. The crumb coat allows all the crumbs to stay put on the cake before you do the real icing layer. You don't want the cake to pop out of the icing because it doesn't give the cake a clean finished look. After Kimball took it out of the fridge she did the actual layer of icing. This was very easy because there were hardly any crumbs in the way. After doing a normal layer of icing on the cake she piped some icing on the bottom of the cake and the top. This gives that cake a pretty look to it and adds detail. Besides the looks of the cake, the cake tasted amazing. Her family loved it, especially her mom because red velvet cake is her moms favorite. The icing was also very good. Luckily her family hd some extra icing, so they could eat it with fruit or even some pretzels. The cake was a success and it allowed Kimball or practice her decorating skills.
