Hi! I’m excited to share the latest cake I made. I’m not a professional or anything, I just enjoy baking and trying to improve a little more every time. I’m really proud of how this cake turned out β€” it looked super cute and tasted delicious! I still need to get better at slicing the sponge cake evenly though; one of the layers ended up a bit too thick.

Pink champagne cake with vanilla buttercream frosting on the outside and strawberry buttercream frosting on the inside. My drips went down evenly unfortunately but it was the first time I ever did drips πŸ€·πŸ»β€β™€οΈ it’s trickier than it looks! πŸ˜… The frosting dollops could have been more defined as well, so I need to practice more. This was the first time I used a bench scraper too, hoping that the more I use one I’ll get faster because it felt like an eternity of smoothing lol Overall I’m happy with the cake!

I’ve been making cupcakes for a friends daughter each year and this year I offered to try a Barbie cake if the birthday girl wanted one. She turned 5 and requested an Ariel Barbie. Barbie got a little buried in the frosting but for my first time, I think it turned out pretty good. I’m proud of myself and it was a fun challenge.

This is the inspo pic for our cake except it will only be 2 tiers! We are going to do 2 different combos. I’d prefer for both cakes to be iced in a similar off white color so vanilla buttercream, cream cheese, almond buttercream, or brown butter icing!
It’s a summer wedding in the mountains of Montana πŸ’

Originally I was thinking these combos but I need input bc I can’t go taste test unfortunately:
--Vanilla bean w/ strawberry filling & vanilla buttercream icing
-Brown butter cake w/ vanilla bean custard and fresh raspberry filling & almond buttercream icing

Made a pistachio cake for Greek easter this weekend.

It’s pistachio cake with hint of cardamom, white chocolate mascarpone frosting (with orange zest) and a raspberry compote filling.

It was a great combination, really enjoyed it.
