Torta de Mojito por favor
I have a recipe for a Mojitos cake that I'm modifying... but as a person who doesn't drink alcohol - I need your help.
There are 2 ways that I can do this: glazed cake or a frosted cake. The original recipe is for a glazed cake - but I'm a cake decorator and I want to try and have it available as a decorated cake as well.
Glazed cake is basically a rum cake with a lime/mint glaze.
For a decorated cake I'm looking at a rum cake filled with key lime curd and iced in a mint buttercream.
But how strong are the mint and lime flavors, which is stronger? Is a really sweet buttercream going to be a problem/conflict or should I do a SMBC. If I do an SMBC would the butter flavor be a problem?
I have an order for a cake on Thursday and I really want to do a decorated cake to raise my exposure, so any help I can get would be fabulous.
