requests

I hate it when I have problems with the computer at home.  It has been one of those days and I do not know why.  At least I finally found a brower that worked!

My long weekend was lovely.  I really did not do any thing special but I did have a request for cake.

A time consuming cake.  A cake that had been seen on the Great British Bake Off.  A Swedish Princess cake.

I made marzipan and fondant for the first time from scratch.  I ran out of chocolate.  I learned new skills.

Would I make it again?  No.  It is not to my taste.

I would make the sponge, the jam, and the cream patissierie again.  Even the creme pat mixed with whipped cream but I would assemble it very differently.  I felt the top layer of whipped cream did not add anything and it was the only reason the marzipan was there.  Next time, I may try it as more of a layer cake or an opera cake.  

The flavors have been requested again but not this style of assemplage.  But that is life with experimentation.
