Cooking is not really my thing – a little of this, a little of that usually turns out to be a big mess whenever I attempt it. But baking – now that’s a different story. I like the exact measurements and timing required of baking. It’s either right or its burnt, and I enjoy working within a set of parameters. And when sugar is involved – I’m all in.
I made this cake for my daughter Maddie’s 2nd birthday party, and I’m pretty pleased with the way it turned out! I have my cake-baking pretty well-established so that I can get a dense yet moist (I hate that word) cake that has a pretty good structure and won’t collapse under a big pile of buttercream. The frosting I used this time was Raspberry Cream Cheese frosting for the top and Chocolate Buttercream on the bottom. With some Sixlets pearls to hide some of the thin spots – it ended up looking as good as it tasted.
