on the day after xmas, hector’s take on ROSE’S heavenly CAKES: She Loves Me Cake (page 15):
does this look like a xmas tree with a sea shell silhouette and a daisy flower fill? bake the cake as written on the recipe, using the nordic ware daisy cake pan. after unmolding and cooling the cake, with a sharp paring knife remove a few daisy flowers, keeping just enough flowers to fill a triangular xmas tree. wrap the cake with a thin layer of ‘super lemon fondant.’ the sea shells are also ‘super lemon fondant’ formed on a special silicone push mold from japan.
the ‘super lemon fondant’ is delicious and i often observe people fighting over having a piece of this lemony dough, rather than leaving it on the plate! the ‘super lemon fondant’ is best enjoyed when remaining chewy; after completing the cake, cover loosely with plastic wrap to prevent the fondant from drying out.
use the pointed end of a wooden chopstick, dipped in corn starch, to trace the fondant around the daisy petal edges, this gives a much pronounced 3D effect, than rubbing the fondant with your fingers of palm of your hands.
hector, where can i get lemon fondant that you used on she loves me cake?
K, it is Albert Uster masa which i added Boyajian lemon oil and tons of lemon zest. people said it tasted like lemon glaze YUMMMM!

hector, thank you!
Can you tell me what silicone mold was used to make the shells.. Where can I purchase it? They are just perfect.
C, i wish i can tell you. it is a silicone mold i borrowed from a chef from Japan. i think it was made by himself from casting life sea shells.
