Faux Chalk Board Inspired Wedding Cake Tutorial

OK, so my chalk is technically gold and not white chalk, but you can use white gel food colour as a paint if you prefer the more traditional looking “chalk” effect ;) This was a happy little accident. I originally had the vision of creating a star meringue covered cake, but I really didn’t like the way it was developing. So I just grabbed my spatula and went to town. Most of the time, you just need to remain calm, and just trust that you can salvage a cake that seems to be going pear shaped. I kid you not, a majority of my best performing videos are actually happy accidents like this one. It’s in those moments where you have to think fast and work those creative juices that the magic happens it seems lol!

For the MERINGUE, I used:
90 grams egg white
pinch of salt (1/4 tsp)
180 grams icing sugar
1/2 tsp vanilla extract

whisk the egg whites and salt for 3 or so minutes or until the egg whites become puffy, white and stiff. Add in 1/3 of your icing sugar, whisk on high for 3 mins, and repeat until all the icing sugar is gone. Don’t be tempted to add your icing sugar in all at once- this will deflate your egg whites and you may end up with a soft, runny meringue. Not fun :)
