A Simple Fun Way to Decorate Cakes
Mar 14, 2009 | From the kitchen of Rose
I have a small whimsical collection of tiny ceramic animals: two little dinosaurs, two little frogs, a moose, and a blue bird with outstretched wings i think of as the blue bird of happiness.
In this photo, i frosted the cake with chocolate whipped ganache, grated bitter sweet chocolate on top and set the little moose in the center.
Be sure to remove the non-edible decoration before serving!

nina, pls look at the errata page and you will see all the corrections. cross out the words rye flour in the text--the right amount is what's on the chart.

The chocolate savings work well with the moose because it makes it look likes he's trudging across the forest floor or a field....

reminds me of a birthday cake my mom made when i was about 10; it was a sheet cake, with little horses and fences and trees etc. from a toy horse barn set i had. just before the guests were to arrive for the party, she looked into the dining room and there was my 4-year-old brother galloping all the horses through the frosting.
many years later, at a party for my brother's engagement, my mom pulled one of the same horses out of her purse and invited me to have a go at that evening's cake...

Hi, Rose. I purchased two of your books the Cake and the Bread Bible. I wanted to make the Real Jewish Rye Bread and was dissapointed because on page 326 rye flour measure is missing from the flour mixture recepie. Below the measurements in #2 it says to whisk together the bread flour and rye flour. But how much of the rye flour???It is not given in the recipe. Please, respond.
Thank you

I love that little moose! You should name the cake "Moose au Chocolate."

What a neat idea Rose! Love the little moose...
I see the picture but the topic doesn't appear in the "hot out of the oven" section.
