Happy Birthday!


*Made and Decorated by Mary Tymon, Letters and Font By: Jason Chandler.


       As I was getting off work, my manager Mary was finishing up a birthday cake for the display freezer. After walking over and admiring the cake, Mary asked me if I wanted to write on it for her as she had to run downstairs to the office for a minute. Well after noticing the blue dots on the frosting pattern, I decided i was better of going with blue gel. Using a swirly yet plain and simple font, i wrote out happy birthday! 

       As I had just completed the font, Mary walks over and says "Wow, that's actually amazing!"
Being that this was the first cake besides the one I made for my birthday i had written on, I was sort happy that I did well for a first timer!

 INSTRUCTIONS:

Strawberry Cheesecake Blizzard Cake
They come in a standard of two sizes, an 8" Cake Ring, and a 10" Cake Ring
Depending on what size and/or shape cake ring you posses. The next part is to make sure your have the right bottom for the ring, usually just a simple clean 8 to 10 inch cardboard cut-out.
What Type of Ice-Cream you choose besides the strawberry cheesequake middle is entirely up too you, At D.Q. we have the options of Vanilla soft-serve or Chocolate soft-serve.
The Ice Cream Cake comes in five parts
1. 1/2" thick wall around the ring of what soft-serve ice-cream you prefer.
2. 1/2 to 1/4" thick of soft-serve to cover the bottom of your cake from the cut-out, make sure it is flat and level.
3.Fill the center about a 1/4" witch your chosen filling.
Make sure when you complete the first 3 parts, and depending on what type of freezer available, freeze for about 1hr.
While you wait for this cake to freeze you could do one of two things, you could either start another cake and repeat the first two parts, or you could pick out what center you want for your cake.
Suggestions: Crushed Cookies, Fudge or if you have access, cake crunch like we do at work.
4.Now take your blended strawberry cheesecake ice cream and top of the rest of your cake. make sure everything is smooth and evenly lined-up to the cake ring. and freeze again for about 30 minutes to 1hr.
5. Depending on if you froze your cake for 30 minutes or an hour, take the cake out and put it on a level surface(Cake Should Always Be Put On A Level Surface!). Get a bowl of the hottest water your skin can tolerate and a rag. Now when you have that ready dip the rag into the water wipe the sides of the metal ring, untill the sides stop freezing to your rag. When You can touch the ring with the rag without any freezing gently lift the cake ring up. The cake should slowly start sliding out of the ring. DO NOT SHAKE THE RING TO MAKE THE ICE CREAM TO COME OUT FASTER!! You will ruin the cake that way! Once the ring is off the cake, Take your cake comb and start combing your cake, when your done, you will have decadent ridges siding your cake!
Decoration is all on personal taste along with frosting and what techniques you use to frost your cake with!
Congratulations, if you had followed these directions to exact, you should have been successful in making your first Strawberry Cheesequake Blizzard Cake!
