Thanks! I am making a wedding cake and need a gluten free layer (the top one) and I have heaps of egg whites from my brownie layer.

Hi Heather, Happy New Year! You definitely can ice the cake all over but the crunchy shell of the meringue will become softened. It’s really up to you how you want to present the meringue – either soft or a little crispy.

Could I ice this cake all over? Would there be an issue with the cake “breathing”?

Well even the single layer was gorgeous! And what do you mean you’re not a torte magician? I think you work plenty of magic! 😉

WHEW, that was some quick thinking! Glad you were able to salvage some if your tart at least! It was beautiful! I’m wondering if I could use pecans almonds for this? I am starting the “Blood Type Diet” and I can only have certain kinds of nuts…

Oh, Charlie,I’m laughing with you because I have broken more than one cake/dessert. One, when I had my bakery/restaurant and had just called the woman to come pick up her custom cake..another when I lived at home and we were expecting guests.I, too, salvaged the unspoiled part and served it sliced…and I would have gotten away with it had my sister not made an exaggerated version of what happened the night’s entertainment!
I am so glad you saved some of this.I LOVE hazelnuts,,,great recipe!

Because I don’t make cakes enough I didn’t even think that this could happen. I should be extra careful next time… If/when this happens, I think I’d just quick making cakes being depressed! Poor Charlie, but glad you captured the beautiful torte!
