A cake per week...
Adds up to a lot of cakes!
My first try at fondant!
A mock wedding cake for when Beth and Scott visited. The layers are 8" banana cake with lemon buttercream/lemon curd filling, 10" carrot cake with cream cheese icing, and 12" vanilla/chocolate cake with buttercream and ganache filling. Most of the banana cake is in our freezer, the grad students ate the carrot cake, and we took the 12" cake to home groups - what wasn't eaten was left or tossed!
This cake was an adaptation of a Martha Stewart recipe. It was really good, except for a big HOLE in the middle! I'm still perfecting the recipe - it came out better the second time with only a 2" hole. I'm going to try adding more liquids next time.
