11/2/2022 0 Comments Blog #5I started off this cake thinking that It would be super easy, but I was wrong. In theory I thought it would be so easy to create a cake that looked like pizza. I thought that baking the cake in a circular pan and adding jelly and grating cream cheese would give a realistic look. Baking the cake and putting the jelly on went as planned and it looked really good. When I got the cream cheese it did not work like I thought it would. The cream cheese isnt stif enough to work as other cheese so it did not work when I tried to shred it. As a solution I microwaved the cream cheese to get it spreadable. I started spreading the cream cheese but it was really difficult to spread the cream cheese on top of the jelly. It got really messy and look kind of gross. Even though it already started looking bad I tried to add bits of cream cheese to make it look more realistic. It helped a bit but still looked horrible. At this point I was getting really down on myself and started on the fondant with very low hopes. I knew going into the cake that making the pepperoni and toppings but I didn´t think I would struggle that much. To try and make the toppings look more really I painted on food coloring to give it a more realistic color. That did not work.
For my next cake I am going to do a cake that is a bit easier. One of my problems could have been that I rushed it. For example I should have put the cake in the freezer so the jelly would freeze and it would be easier to spread the cream cheese on top. I also rushed the making of the toppings and when I realized that my food coloring didn´t work like I thought it would so I just rushed through the process of creating the toppings. For my next cake I need to slow down and not get frustrated or rushed. When I start to struggle and I need to remember to take a break and slow down. I had my sister judge this week. She told me that she would give the look a 4 out of 10 and taste a 8 out of 10. She said she really enjoyed how it tasted like a cheesecake. She told me that I should have used less strawberry jam and more cream cheese.
