White chocolate + green food colouring = ?
My 4 year old's birthday party tomorrow. I've made a chocolate sponge (2 layered) and going to cover it in something green (hence the question).
Is that a good idea?
Better ideas?
green icing ?
Butter icing, green food colouring. White chocolate is a pain to work with.
Pastry in a cake?
my wife's recommendation, cream cheese icing, which'll easily take a green food colour.

*Royal Icing, Butter Cream, *Fondant Icing, Frosting, White Chocolate Ganache (mix colour in with cream)
*careful is using liquid colour as its hard to get an even distribution sometimes
Thanks all. Does seem that white (green) choc will be a pain in the arse.
I'll go for butter icing.
Also need to make a caramel 'pond'. Should be fun without a sugar thermometer. Should I have just said 'no' to a dinosaur scene and popped off to the bakery?
My 'soil' looks good though.
Pastry in a cake?
Courting cake? Shirley?
Do you still want that stinger makecoldplayhistory as it's still here. 😀
Yes. Emailed you but no reply.

cheers
Courting cake - showing your age eh lad!
Going to be (hopefully) chocolate sponge, green butter icing, greeny-blue caramel pond, chocolate 'soil' and reasonably clean rubber dinosaurs.
If I come back to the thread with pictures then it's gone well.
God I hate pastry!
Last night's pork belly needed no questions as words like 'large' and 'some' can't be clarified whereas heat to 300c can't be eff'ed about there.
*tips hat to pastry chefs*
No email through.Not even in spam.I'll mail you now bud.
Cheers.
I'd use ready made green sugar paste.
oh, and pre-make the pond, don't pour it hot on the icing 🙂
