Hi All

As per the title, I have been asked to make a hard white cake for a
child's birthday and I would appreciate any ideas or recipes.

My ideas so far are to do something based on meringues or biscuits such
as a deep shortbread cake. �Alternatively, I could do a chocolate cake
using white chocolate.

The 'hardness' shouldn't be too hard as the child is only 4 so panforte
would be out of the question.

Thanks for your input.

I have made lots of children's cakes and find their definitions
different from adults. When child said "hard white cake" don't you
think he meant just a regular white cake, probably 2 layers? I know
my nephew at that age didn't think a cake was really a cake unless it
was a 2 layer cake.

I think he knows what hard means and he was quite specific in other
details such as white and no chocolate.

I tried to make a 'harder mousse' last night using less butter and eggs
but it didn't really work out.

I guess it'll be a rice krispie cake then with a secondary cake for the
adults.

Thanks to all for their input.
