Hi all
I'm new to the forum so forgive me if this topic has been raised before
I want to make a dinosaur shaped cake for a friend's birthday, and while I'm fine with shaping and putting it together I just wanted some advice on the best cake batter and icing to use.
I am wanting to make a chocolate cake (although I'm open to other suggestions) but I'm not sure how dense the cake should be so that the icing can slide easier over the cut (and often crumbly sides).
And I was also thinking of a white chocolate mousseline buttercream as then i can easily colour it. I've never made mousseline buttercream at home before so I'm not sure of the taste.
Will it need to be flavored with chocolate?
Your comments would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you
