if youve ever wondered how to bake and decorate a cake in 95 degree heat...
urrm best advice is dont bother. the cake turned out fine [champagne white cake if you must know] and managed to only heat my apartment by ... 5 degrees maybe? but frosting. oh the frosting. liquid butter [aka room temp] does not make for frosting success. i added extra butter and about 7 cups of powdered sugar, and ended up refrigerating the now doubled batch of frosting for an hour before i even bothered attempting to frost the cake.
unfortunately there is no photographic evidence of the finished product. it was a resounding success minus the sickeningly sweet frosting which..melted off while we were eating. and let me add, a 2 layer cake feeds 15 people quite well. with only a few second helpings.
happy belated birthday ashley!
