Thanks for letting me know how things turned out :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whipped-cream-on-cake-for-first-birthday#post-1733233 Mon, 30 Jun 2014 20:52:06 +0000 Foodnerd81 1733233@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@StrawberryBee: I made the weelicious cupcakes tonight, with the sturdy whipped cream cheese frosting-- yum! C's birthday isn't until the end of July, but my friend's son turns one this week so I made him a little mini cake plus the mini cupcakes. Will be repeating for C's birthday! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whipped-cream-on-cake-for-first-birthday#post-1706853 Wed, 18 Jun 2014 09:50:00 +0000 StrawberryBee 1706853@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Foodnerd81: followed directions as is :). It seemed to whip up fine.</p> <p>I know, I keep on eating cake! My sister was disappointed that I wasn't planning on writing her (that is, my LO's ;)) name on it. Not sure how I'm decorating it yet, but I don't want the traditional "happy birthday". Maybe sprinkles in the shape of a "1"?</p> <p>[attach=2320/14/n7dd7e.450x600.image.jpg]</p> <p>[attach=2320/14/n7dd7h.450x600.image.jpg] </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whipped-cream-on-cake-for-first-birthday#post-1706677 Wed, 18 Jun 2014 08:48:36 +0000 Foodnerd81 1706677@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@StrawberryBee: I was just looking at the reviews for the frosting-- did you whip the cream separately first, or follow the directions as is? I think I would skip the almond too, I prefer just vanilla. </p> <p>Now I want cake, but it's too hot to bake. Oh, and I have no occasion for cake coming up. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whipped-cream-on-cake-for-first-birthday#post-1705784 Tue, 17 Jun 2014 16:28:22 +0000 StrawberryBee 1705784@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Foodnerd81: ooh, thanks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whipped-cream-on-cake-for-first-birthday#post-1705645 Tue, 17 Jun 2014 15:26:06 +0000 Foodnerd81 1705645@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@StrawberryBee: Ahahahaha at the banana cake! If you are still looking for recipes, my friend made this weelicious one and raved about it. I didn't try it so I can't give persona testament. <a href="http://weelicious.com/2010/03/29/mini-vanilla-cupcakes/" rel="nofollow">http://weelicious.com/2010/03/29/mini-vanilla-cupcakes/</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whipped-cream-on-cake-for-first-birthday#post-1705597 Tue, 17 Jun 2014 15:04:00 +0000 StrawberryBee 1705597@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Foodnerd81: Ha, I just keep on baking cakes ;). I think this is my fourth attempt? fifth?</p> <p>I used this frosting recipe:</p> <p><a href="http://allrecipes.com/recipe/sturdy-whipped-cream-frosting/" rel="nofollow">http://allrecipes.com/recipe/sturdy-whipped-cream-frosting/</a></p> <p>I think I may cut out the almond flavoring next time.</p> <p>I keep on reminding myself that it's just one day! I made a banana cake that tasted great (all the right stuff, sweetened with applesauce instead of sugar, etc. etc) until DH pointed out that after she squished it up some...it looked like poop. That killed it for me ;). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whipped-cream-on-cake-for-first-birthday#post-1705550 Tue, 17 Jun 2014 14:44:59 +0000 Alivoo01 1705550@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks for following up! I want to do whipped cream for DS's smash cake as well, but can't decide if I want to make the cake myself or just order it from the local store... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whipped-cream-on-cake-for-first-birthday#post-1705543 Tue, 17 Jun 2014 14:38:51 +0000 Foodnerd81 1705543@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@StrawberryBee: Thanks for following up! DH thinks I'm ridiculous because now I'm already talking about her first bday cake and it's not til the end of July. Which frosting recipe did you use, the first link?</p> <p>I have never made a from scratch cake that had as good of a texture as a box mix, and I bake a fair amount. The flavor, I think, is better, but the texture just isn't as good. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whipped-cream-on-cake-for-first-birthday#post-1705538 Tue, 17 Jun 2014 14:34:43 +0000 StrawberryBee 1705538@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So, the verdict! I'll try to post a pic tonight if I remember. The cake turned out well, but was pretty dense - think more like pound cake. It was good, but not sure if that's the right choice for a first birthday cake. </p> <p>I purposefully refrigerated the cake (with icing!) and then left it out on the counter to come back to room temp. I don't think this contributed to the texture, but I'm also not a baker lol. The icing survived being in the fridge for three days and still tasted great.</p> <p>I may give in and just do a box mix (hello Betty Crocker super moist!) with the whipped cream frosting. May try Trader Joe's mix next? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whipped-cream-on-cake-for-first-birthday#post-1700707 Sat, 14 Jun 2014 15:32:19 +0000 Foodnerd81 1700707@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@StrawberryBee: that looks really pretty! Thanks to this thread I think I'm going to do the same frosting. Perhaps strawberry flavored cake since she loves strawberries. Let us know how it holds up- like if there are leftovers if t keeps a day or two? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whipped-cream-on-cake-for-first-birthday#post-1700683 Sat, 14 Jun 2014 14:47:21 +0000 swedishfish 1700683@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@StrawberryBee: thanks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whipped-cream-on-cake-for-first-birthday#post-1700681 Sat, 14 Jun 2014 14:45:10 +0000 StrawberryBee 1700681@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@swedishfish: sure!

Half an hour in the fridge and it was almost solid. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whipped-cream-on-cake-for-first-birthday#post-1700577 Sat, 14 Jun 2014 12:28:42 +0000 StrawberryBee 1700577@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>aiii why did I not notice more replies? apologies for the delayed response, bees!</p> <p>@heartonastring: @blackbird: @GreenThumb: these look so yummy, thank you!! I think I may have a working vanilla cake now (thank you, Martha) so as soon as that's cool I'll try to whip up some cream and see how it goes :D. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whipped-cream-on-cake-for-first-birthday#post-1693114 Wed, 11 Jun 2014 11:36:53 +0000 GreenThumb 1693114@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@StrawberryBee: I just did a cream cheese frosting with a tiny bit of confectionary sugar and strawberries to sweeten it.

Makes sense, because I hadn't given her any sugar up to that point.<br /> I had it out in our 72F house for about 45 minutes and it was fine </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whipped-cream-on-cake-for-first-birthday#post-1692431 Wed, 11 Jun 2014 08:02:27 +0000 JerricaBenton 1692431@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Whipped cream would be good! LO was dairy free at the timing her first birthday so I made whipped coconut cream for her and me. It was delicious and I thought held up a bit better that dairy whipped cream. I just added vanilla and a touch of sugar. LO had never had any sweets before so she was very pleased :-D </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whipped-cream-on-cake-for-first-birthday#post-1692371 Wed, 11 Jun 2014 07:28:53 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 1692371@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Homemade whipped cream is so yummy. Good idea. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whipped-cream-on-cake-for-first-birthday#post-1692331 Wed, 11 Jun 2014 06:59:15 +0000 NeekieRose 1692331@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@StrawberryBee: I've made the cream cheese whipped cream frosting and it holds up pretty well. I think that if you had the cake in the fridge overnight so that it was nice and cold, you could easily have it out for a couple hours during the party in an air conditioned house. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whipped-cream-on-cake-for-first-birthday#post-1692289 Wed, 11 Jun 2014 06:23:21 +0000 NurseMommy 1692289@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used whipped cream, but I had it in the fridge until right before. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whipped-cream-on-cake-for-first-birthday#post-1692191 Wed, 11 Jun 2014 01:02:16 +0000 BoogieBea 1692191@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>There's a way to incorporate some gelatin into the whipped cream to help it stay firm longer. I made a cake using this recipe once. I'm not sure what the max time it can stay out of the fridge though. I used this recipe:<br /> <a href="http://www.lafujimama.com/2010/07/japanese-strawberry-shortcake/" rel="nofollow">http://www.lafujimama.com/2010/07/japanese-strawberry-shortcake/</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whipped-cream-on-cake-for-first-birthday#post-1692171 Tue, 10 Jun 2014 23:39:55 +0000 StrawberryBee 1692171@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Dandelion: thanks! I think I have some experimenting to do :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whipped-cream-on-cake-for-first-birthday#post-1692168 Tue, 10 Jun 2014 23:38:12 +0000 Dandelion 1692168@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@StrawberryBee: whipped cream falls fast. It'll be soup within 2 hours. The cream cheese one might hold up better. </p>
