I have used my white cake recipe as a base and filled it with chopped mangoes. Then frosted with whipped cream in spring colors.
It is then iced with roses of different colors. You can fill and frost it as per your choice.
To color whipping cream: First whip the cream to stiff peaks, Divide the cream into different batches as per the number of colors you want. Now add 1-2 drops of desired gel color to each batch. Using a spatula or a spoon, mix the color.
Cover the bowls with cling wrap and set them in the refrigerator overnight to absorb the color and deepen in shade. This step is desired for a better and even tone of color.
When you are ready to frost, remove each bowl as desired and apply colored whipping cream onto the cake.
I made this cake for my daughter’s birthday at the onset of the first lockdown 3 years ago in 2020. Life got in the way and I had to put the blog aside and focus on lot of other things. As you now know, I am back with lot of new stuff and videos and photos. So stay tuned.
The cake is a winner always. Soft, moist, and refreshing with every bite.
