FTF: My First Birthday Cake
This is a long overdue post. The cake on the photo has been consumed on my husband's niece birthday last May 12. This is my very first attempt in making an entire cake with everything on it. I enjoyed creating the cake, and everone enjoyed consuming the cake afterwards. It was a red velvet and chocolate cake covered with strawberry buttercream frosting. I know, I know, it's not perfectly frosted. You may see some bumps here and there, but hey, it's my first attempt in frosting an entire cake. After that day, I made myself the official cake baker of the family. I pledged to create cakes on everyone's special day (and I am hoping I can keep up with the promise!)
So, what do you think about my cake?

ReplyDeleteGreat job for starters! I love baking but just don't have the time to do it anymore. You are one lucky mom for the many hours you can spare for the entire family.
ReplyDeleteI like the pink color you used for your cake. :)
ReplyDeleteAnother newbie on baking here! That's not bad at all for first try! :) Haven't tried frosting at all.. I think I'm not gonna pass it looks so complicated and requires time and patience. I may have patience but not time hehe
