More Cakes

I made 2 different cakes this weekend. I had a lot of fun making them, and I learn something new each time I make a cake. This time I learned to make sure you cut the cake EVENLY the 1st time-or else you have to go back and fix it later. This was my first time using fruit in a cake, so there are some minor things that make it more difficult verses using a frosting type filling. I also used a flavored buttercream this time, this was my first time flavoring a buttercream icing, and a new icing recipe too! I also had to take note to make sure the icing is as smooth as you can get it....before you lay the fondant over it, or else you have a bumpy fondant. Oh, well...the one I got to try tasted good, and overall looked alright, thanks Stacie for sharing your cake with us. I had fun and look forward to December when I have some more family birthdays to practice cakes for!

Kari's Cake: Chocolate cake, raspberry preserve filling, fresh raspberries, raspberry buttercream icing, and fondant. This one iced really smooth and was easy to lay the fondant over. I got a little carried away with the icing when I was decorating, it actually looked better without the little flower of icing on the fondant polk-a-dots. You live, you learn. I hope Kare's cake tasted good.






Stacie's Birthday Cake: White cake, raspberry preserve filling, fresh raspberries. and raspberry buttercream covered in fondant. YES, it's leaning....I fixed that later on, it turned out looking alright. Hope you liked your cake Stacie!!
