I remember this Frozen Cake fondly. Our then 6-year munchkin suddenly said to us (rather me) one day “Mommy, I want you to make me a Frozen Cake for my birthday” – which was incidentally the coming weekend. Much the enthusiastic and ‘fearless’ mom, I decided to attempt it and the above is the result.
I would say that the most difficult part about this cake was making the ice shards and getting it the right degree of ‘frozen’ and transcluency. In the end, it was made from:
- tempering sugar to a high temperature,
- coloring it with a right dash of blue food dye
- pouring it out on wax paper (you can do blocks or random swirls)
- letting it cool and set
- and finally breaking it into shards !
The sugar tempers and sets very quickly – therefore the secret of making the ice shards is a strong arm and quick hand-eye coordination to move swiftly to pouring out once the desired temperature and color is achieved. Once set, just ‘Let it Go’ and break the sugar-ice with great spontaneity! Of course it helped that Munchkin had a much loved Elsa which served as the ultimate cake topper. All in all, Mission Accomplished 🙂
