It has been a surprisingly busy baking week.

And so stoked with how this test cake (that was gifted to Miss Madison for her birthday) went. 

Smooth fondant. 

Nice edges. 

Tall cake. 

Ruffle flower.

And the inside is Red Velvet & White Chocolate Mud Cake with Raspberry Buttercream.

 Ruffle flowers and pink icing... what's not to like??? WE LOVE THIS CAKE!

Sour cream chocolate sponge with layers of Oreo buttercream. Yep, cookies and cream and chocolate. Are you going to say no??? Smells good AND looks good!

A couple of tricks with the cake. We baked the layers separately as the cake is quite soft. And the more oreos you add, the better it tastes! Take time to pipe each row and let the buttercream sit of a while if it gets too soft.

And the key to making flowers...? Toothpicks are your best friend!

Very excited for the birthday girl. Hope she has an awesome birthday dinner with her friends tonight. :)
