vanilla cake w/ homemade chocolate buttercream😌

Forgot to add the edible cookie dough pieces at first, hence why they’re not in the first photo. I combined different recipes so you’ll have to google them yourself if you want to make this too. I will say the cheesecake itself came from Preppy Kitchen!

After my kid’s birthday party with school friends last weekend (for which I made a No Face cake that I posted here) this weekend I made a Totoro cake for a family party, inspired by my kid’s drawings :) (i.e. the kiddo gave me clear instructions for making the cake; I was not to deviate Lol)

I got super frustrated trying to carve a fairly small cake for this so ended up making basically a big ol’ cake pop - smooshing the cake and frosting together, and molding it into shape.

The little buddies (do they have names?) cracked me up lol

And then the soot sprite brigadeiros were brought into school last week.

A very fun Ghibli themed birthday week indeed :) ❤️ less

I’m a total amateur stay at home/gig work mom (please be kind!) but I always thought these cakes were so cool as a kid. My daughter loved it! 4 chocolate cake layers with pink buttercream

My first time making and decorating a layer cake! This took several hours across 4 days to finish.

Frosting: Swiss meringue buttercream + 2 oz freeze-dried strawberry powder https://www.sugarologie.com/cakeculator-result?pan=9-22-9cm-round-2-layer&frosting=vanilla-swiss-meringue-buttercream&frostlevel=Medium+Coverage#recipe

Filling: strawberry puree + sugar, cooked down till thickened

Ganache drip: 1:1 semisweet chocolate : heavy cream

Used my air fryer to dehydrate the orange slice. It was super easy!

3 Layer Lemon Cake with Vanilla buttercream frosting 💛

Hi, it's my second cake and it has quite a couple problems but at least it's standing (kind of, very wrinkly on the other side and is a bit \ I think).

I've followed a Youtube tutorial which I don't think has a recipe website: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IDVk1IQSWg4

I did not add the hazelnuts and I feel like the measurements were a bit strange but that's likely just my lack of experience.

I also poured the white chocolate layer too early and it merged in the middle. And the chocolate ganache was obviously poured very well.

When I was a child, my mom baked Easter cakes every year. The best part of those cakes was the white sweet part with small candies, as in the photo.

We didn’t have a lot of money, so the amount of candies was not too much!

Now I am an adult, and I bake my own Easter cakes. As you can see, I used as many candies as I could.

Just wanted to show off my first attempt at a Lemon Blueberry Cake! I’m pretty pleased with how it turned out. 🍋 🫐
