This is a sea-themed 2-tier chiffon cake for a little boy Jonas who shares the same birth date as my baby Charissa! :). I made a sailboat out of chiffon cake for him, with cute drops of water splashing everywhere! And starfishes and fishes swimming in the two-tone ocean.. :).
The chiffon cake boat was made by baking a chocolate chiffon cake in an oval bowl, with a rim of strawberry chiffon cake piped on around the rim. The sails were made using layer vanilla chiffon cake, supported by 'poles' (bamboo sticks). I improved on the white-red floats from my previous Nautical Mickey Mouse cake by using donut molds to shape the floats. Thank God cake was well-received. Happy belated birthday to Jonas!
With love,
Susanne
Hi Susanne,
ReplyDeletePlease advise where to buy the oval bowl?
Thank you.

I inherited it from my parents who got it as a gift long ago so I'm not very sure. It's a fruit salad kind of bowl but must be good quality. Sorry hope it helps.
DeleteOh ok. no worries, Susanne ! I will try to improvise.

Hi Susanne,
ReplyDeleteI tried baking a 7 inch chiffon but I added 1 tsp baking powder to the recipe & substitute water with milk.
The sides of my cake has a thin light brown layer. I wonder why....?
Thank you.

Hi I think you posted the same question already? Probably need to lower the temperature a bit during the last 15-30 min. Each oven is different so our temperatures/times are just a guide. Thanks
DeleteThank you, Susanne. Will try it out asap!
