So it was a co-workers 23rd birthday last week and I volunteered to bake a cake! My good friend Sarah bought me this fabulous cook book The Complete Magnolia Bakery Cookbook, for Christmas and I wanted to try out some of there recipes right away! So I made the 2-layer White Cake and Vanilla Butter Cream! I Certainly had an adventure making it... I baked the cake on a Wednesday and then put it in the freezer until Thursday to carve it. Thursday night... late night after watching Avatar... I came home to carve a cake into a Chanel Purse and decorate as such... Many calls later to Sarah with my answered questions from her! THANK YOU! and a huge mess... I am a messy baker as you can see... also quite a bit of whining and stomping my feet because things were not working like I wanted them too... I ended up with a Chanel Purse Cake! Unfortunately I did not take a complete picture... I still did a little more detail to the funny looking clutch at the top... lol.
Anyway... this will be the last carved cake I make solo for awhile I think... The next cake I make will perhaps just be a layered cake with butter cream icing... It was a hit at work and it was really yummy! I had left over random pieces at home that I iced and Chris liked it too!
Tonight I am making another recipie from the book... a yummy shortbreak pecan square thing! Happy baking too all!
Until my next baking adventure -
