I have been eyeing up the Frost Form Kit for a while now, but I just couldn\u2019t spend that much money for it as a novice \/ home baker. The 6\u201d kit<\/a> is currently selling for \u00a366 which for me is a lot. That\u2019s not saying it\u2019s not worth it, just that it wasn\u2019t something I was willing to invest in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last month, I stumbled across a similar product called \u201cBrigid\u2019s Ganaching Kit\u201d which to me looked very similar. The 6\u201d kit<\/a> was on offer on Cake Cabinet for \u00a319, so I took a punt and ordered one last month. I realised you can order direct from the company who make them though, so check out Brigid’s Cake Room<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

You don\u2019t get as much in the Brigid\u2019s kit, but the things I was missing I already had \u2013 I have a 6\u201d cake pan with detachable base. I have a 5\u201d crumb cutter to trim my cake layers, so I figured I\u2019d have everything I need.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I made a cake yesterday with no purpose other than testing the kit out. I baked 5 layers of vanilla cake with Oreo crumb, allowed them to cool, then trimmed them with my crumb cutter. I set up the Ganaching kit as per instructions, and began to build my cake*<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I had 5 layers of cake, with vanilla buttercream and Oreo crumbles in each layer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Once it was stacked, I made a white chocolate butter ganache mixed with Oreo powder. I added it to the bottle, then realised it wouldn\u2019t come out of the spout due to the crumbs inside, so I just poured it over the cake instead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I put the cake in the freezer for an hour to set, and then came the reveal<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

There was a tear in the ganache, but this was entirely my fault as the cake was pretty much touching the liner at this part & I hadn\u2019t realised. I was ecstatic with the result though for a first go!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

What you can see when I cut the cake is that the ganache is a lot thicker on some slices than others. Again, this was entirely down to me stacking the cakes slanted without realising.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

*I should have been more careful in building the cake as it ended up leaning to the side. This was entirely my fault and I reckon I could have added ganache around the edging as I added each layer to keep it more in line.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My next test will be a buttercream coated cake.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
