Welcome to Frosted Formations!

As I've become more serious about cake decorating, I've decided to start a blog to display all my creations. I've loved making these cakes and loved the memories of the people I've shared them with!


I hope you enjoy them as much as I do.

I made this cake for my own housewarming party. This is the first time I've made a decorated cake for my own party so I decided to go a little crazy and planned to make ganache with butterscotch chips for the exterior of the cake.

I had never done ganache before, but I saw a cool youtube.com video where they made it really easy. Basically the guy scalds cream, takes it off the burner, adds chocolate and whisks everything until it's smooth.

Here, check it out for yourself:


Butterscotch chips aren't exactly like chocolate, so it was a shot in the dark, but it seriously turned out amazing!

My cake was rather large, so it didn't quite get the glossy pour look from top to bottom that you can get on slightly shorter cakes . . . but I had to do the bee striped interior.


I would highly recommend using ganache on cakes. It's really easier than you think, especially with the trick of melting the chocolate right into the cream.

Put your cake onto a cooling rack that fits inside of a lipped cookie sheet and pour the ganache right in the middle of the cake. Make sure to use the mixture once it cools down a little and gets thicker. You can use a spatula or knife to spread it around and any excess ganache or big drips pour right through the cooling rack into the cookie sheet and can be saved for midnight choco cravings.
