A first timer here,. . . first blog post and first daring bakers challenge, so here goes:
The July 2010 Daring Bakers’ challenge was hosted by Sunita of Sunita’s world – life and food. Sunita challenged everyone to make an ice-cream filled Swiss roll that’s then used to make a bombe with hot fudge. Her recipe is based on an ice cream cake recipe from Taste of Home.
epic fail. this version shows the cake after i scrapped off the layer of ice cream that seeped below the rolls!
the swiss rolls were delicious. I tweaked the recipe and added instant espresso to the cream filling - yum.
i thought i lined the pan right
obviously my ice cream, which was also delicious, but had sort of a processed aftertaste (weird as all natural ingredients,...) was a little too soft and saturated the pan in between and under the rolls. :(
Overall it was fun. my hot fudge was a mess and didn't taste good, more like a pudding than chocolate sauce. the ice cream didn't taste as good as the store version. the cake itself was also a disaster. from assembly to taste. too much cake, and my ice cream got icy.
there's always next month. but i'll be sticking to carvel the next time i need an ice cream cake.
