i made the sponge with homemade strawberry purée and i created a marble effect with a darker shade of pink.
the frosting is my first attempt at a stable cream cheese buttercream. for those who don’t know, cream cheese frosting is fussy (it turns to goop quite quickly) and not very pipable.
by cooking the cream cheese like you’d do for an italian buttercream, it creates a stable frosting that holds its shape and can stay at room temperature for longer :3

in 2020, i decided i ::needed:: to learn how to make and frost a layer cake at home. i ordered the piping tools and cake spinner, watched YouTube videos, practiced my technique to get the perfect crumb and frosting texture.
fast forward to when we could finally safely gather in person, cooking and baking just felt better when i did it for others. especially making special birthday cakes, like this one here—chocolate cake with brown butter frosting and naturally dyed sprinkles.

feels like i am a wizard preparing a ritual spell to cast for the homies. red velvet bottom with oreo cheesecake and cream cheese frosting everywhere. she’s a bit ugly but everyone went back for seconds and the wife loved her bday cake. not bad for a first bake, don’t be afraid to try something new

these last few months, I’ve been really into baking, intricate tiered cakes. I’m just kind of figuring it out as I go along. I’ve been making my friends cakes for their birthday. This is the most recent one I made. I’m trying to keep it as a fun, hobby and not monetize it like I do with all my other hobbies lol
