Monster High 2

Malan skulle også lige have en lagkage. Designet var op til mig, men jeg syntes ligeså godt, jeg kunne holde mig til Monster High-temaet, så den endte sådan her:
Malan was also getting a layered cake. the design was up to me, but I figured I might as well stick to the Monster High theme, and this is what she got:

Kagen var Klassiske Lagkagebunde med Blåbærmousse og Hvid Chokoladecreme m. Daim, smurt op med Chokolade Smørcreme og overtrukket med Wilton's fondant.
The cake was classic sponge layers with Blueberry Mousse and White Chocolate Cream with Daim (crunchy butter almond bar covered in milk chocolate), coated with Chocolate Buttercream and covered in Wilton's fondant.

Her har jeg gået og troet, at en ruder-udstikker er et overflødigt værktøj, da man jo nemt kan lave dem selv, med kniv og lineal. Tjah, nemt og nemt - det ville da helt sikkert være meget tids-besparende med de udstikkere, men det var nu alligevel det hvide bånd, der tog 100 år at sætte fast på kagen - for en gangs skyld kunne jeg godt have tænkt mig, at kagen svedte, så jeg kunne slippe for at lime i hvert fald... Den var nu hyggelig at lave alligevel - bare ikke hurtig:)
Here I thought that diamond cutters were totally superfluous pieces of equipment, since you can make diamonds easily with a knife and ruler. Well, I wouldn't necessarily say easy anymore - at the very least, they would have been nice timesavers.  Still, it was the white lines that took the longest to put on the cake - for once, I wish the cake was sweating, so at least I could skip the gluing part... It was still a fun and easy (just not fast) cake to make :)

Monster High Draculaura Kage / Monster High Draculaura Cake

Når moren "bare" beder om en Monster High kage (som jeg aldrig havde hørt om, og faktisk hørte som Monster Hår), så er det godt at pigen selv ved, liige hvad der skal være på kagen: "Det skal være hende, der er vampyr, med lyserødt hår, nej sort hår med lyserøde striber, og rottehaler, og.. og..." Dejligt med en entusiastisk beskrivelse af ønsket, for så kunne kagen ikke komme til at se så meget anderledes ud, end tilfældet var:
When the mother "just" asks for a Monster High Cake (which I had never heard of before, and actually thought she said Monster Hair), it is good that the birthday girl knows exactly what she wants: " It has to be the vampire-one, with pink hair, no black hair with pink highlights, and pigtails, and.. and...". Wonderful to get an enthusiastic description of what she wanted, because I didn't have to do much thinking regarding the design, and this is what we ended up with:

Kagen skulle bare være en bradepande-chokoladekage, da pigen ikke kan lide fyld, men jeg har snydt lidt og bagt dem i runde forme, og lagt 2 ovenpå hinanden med et fad i mellem.
Kagen var en Sort Midnats Kage, opsmurt med Chokolade Smørcreme og overtrukket med Wilton's fondant.
The cake was just supposed to be a chocolate sheet cake, since the girl doesn't like fillings, but I cheated and bake them in round pans and stacked them with a cakeboard in between.
The cake was a Black Midnight Cake, coated with Chocolate Buttercream and covered in Wilton's fondant

Hun (eller nok hendes gæster), fik også en lagkage, men den må jeg vente med at blogge om til i morgen, for det er vist nok noget med at jeg også lige skal have lavet nogen cupcakes til i morgen tidlig, så må hellere gå i gang...
She (or most likely her guests) also got a layered cake, but I have to wait until tomorrow to blog about it, as I am supposed to make some cupcakes for tomorrow morning, so I'd better get started...
