I have been toying with the idea of making a baby Bassinette using a pav recipe. Today I tried it out and used some baking paper to support the hood bit. Granted the baking paper prevented some parts from getting that crispy shell but all in all I am thrilled with how it turned out.
I am planning on filling it tomorrow and providing it lasts the night in one piece I will post a piccie of how I plan on decorating it.
Thanks TMS, I hope it lasts ok through the night so I can decorate it, I am really really happy its worked. It was just an experiment idea that I had for my BFF's baby shower but I wanted to make a mock up to show her and see if she liked it. I'll colour some cream and chop the tops off some strawberries and use the tops a little way down as a sheet or something then cover the the rest with chopped strawberries to make a blanket ... could use bananas or anything though!!
I think if I had a bit more time I'd chop the strawberries up smaller and possibly even do some as a puree that could poured cold over the top of the blanket bit but for the purpose of the experiment I am happy with the result.
Nah I am really NOT that creative, I just had this idea in my head that I couldn't get rid of until I tried it. I honestly though it would fail and fall in or break or melt off the paper and end up all through my oven
Thanks everyone really I am just so stunned it worked .. its a great alternative to the traditional pav or traditional baby shower cake and believe me if I can do it ANYONE can, I am so rough and heavy handed.
Happy to share with anyone who wants to have a go just pm me.
Beckoes - Baby shower will be in September she thinks she will be about 6-7 months as she doesn't want to be tooo far in so she doesn't enjoy it and she said she wants everything to be "done and ready" by the end of Oct so then she can just focus and relax.
LOL we eat what we can, might take this down to the IL's they live behind us. I don't feel so bad if it doesn't all get eaten because I have all the ingredients home here and because I have chooks there is always an abundance of eggs which we don't eat a lot of so it puts them to good use, gives me time to work out my pav recipe and trial my ideas ......
OMG I think I pulled it off!!
