Description This is one of the dessert cakes we make where I work. It is an iced angel food cake. The cake is frosted in a non-dairy whipped icing with mint and green food coloring added. The cake is also garnished with fudge drizzle, cake crumbs, and chocolate mint candy.

I'll be making a lot of these for St. Patrick's Day!

Fudge drizzling can sometimes be tricky... depending on if you heat it to the right temperature and how well you can maneuver the drizzle over the cake... Thanks!

I'll just smile and nod and trust you on that lol
The extent of my decorating skills consist of opening a can of icing and spreading it on with a knife. That's probably why I love watching you so much: it's inspiring (even if I don't have the time to experiment with decorating more myself at the moment).

Thanks so much! And just so you know, there are times I just open a can of frosting and spread it on a cake too... Sometimes the simpliest things are the most tasty!

Good to know the elite are humans, too
Presentation is usually a big factor but taste trumps all

Mint is my favourite flavour - I've always wanted to make a satisfactory mint cake and this looks fantastic! The fudge icing all dripping down over the mint frosting looks so yumaliscious *dies from deliciousness*

I accidentally put mint extract instead of almond in my buttercream frosting for a birthday cake a few weeks ago- after freaking out for a minute, I couldn't help but think of this cake and drool a little! *giggle*

estranged-illusions In reply to theshaggyturtle [2007-03-22 19:04:04 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, something tells me it would have been much better with almond! The mint didn't quite go that well with the buttercream texture and marshmallow fondant! Hehehe.
