I don't know if this is too late or not, or if you are committed to a lemon cake, but The Ultimate Oreo Cake from the Brown Eyed Baker would be a real good entry because it showcases a number of techniques. It calls for a cream cheese filling that could be replaced with one of your other white frostings that doesn't need refrigeration.

Tropit, if you decide to use lemonade concentrate, please taste it first. I made a lemonade pie this past weekend and the husband wanted to know what the flavor was. We all agreed that the concentrate is not the same as when my mother made the pie many years ago. I have some of the filling left and I'm going to add some lemon extract to it to see if that improves the flavor. The filling is just 6 oz. of lemonade concentrate, a can of Eagle Brand milk and 16 oz. of Cool Whip.
I'm saving the recipes you've used to try them myself. I love anything lemon. |

So, today I'm working on my final draft of my Lemon Velvet Cake. I have to turn it in on 09/19, so I'm making the sponge today and freezing the layers on cake boards. I've done this before, so I know it will still taste fresh. I might also work on the lemon curd filling. I need to make it just a little thicker because it tends to ooze out between the layers when the cake is cut. I could add one more egg yolk to the curd, or perhaps add some corn starch blended with a little water. I'm not sure what I'll do yet. The frosting, which also freezes well will be made tomorrow.
Fingers crossed. |
Oh, that lemon cake sounds fabulous! Best wishes on your entry.

Fingers crossed. However, I've used canned cream soup in dishes I wished to freeze and they broke down. Campbell's cream soups contain both corn starch and flour and they definitely break down and get thin after freezing.. bkay edit: The decoration that will do the most to make an impression is to use a piping of frosting around the base of the cake. It's described as "anchoring the cake to the plate". |
Tropit, your story of the flying cake was hilarious! Thanks for the laugh.
I'm not much of a cake maker, but I do enjoy eating it! Good luck at the fair. |
Thanks for all of the good words of encouragement everyone. Everything except the lemon curd is in the freezer. I'm putting it together on Tuesday and taking it down to the fairgrounds. I'll try to take some pix to show you all. :)
