After my charmingly oogey cake for Hannah's birthday, I decided to make a design-free, gel-free cake for Maddie's birthday party. As I mentioned a few posts ago, Maddie wanted a white cake with chocolate frosting. I made a french vanilla layer cake with milk chocolate frosting, a raspberry filling and fresh raspberries around the bottom edge. If I do say so myself, it was darn yummy and delicious. As long as I stay away from cuteness and shapes, I'm fine! (For the record, even Hannah told me she liked it more than hers - and she LOVED hers. Maybe she was just being nice. Who knows.)
You probably think I'm nuts - that it's just a cake, but baking is one of the few domestic things that I think I can do pretty well AND enjoy at the same time. That's a rare combination. I feel like the baking gods have smiled upon me.
