Red velvet cake. cream cheese frosting with freezed dried strawberries, layered with fresh sliced strawberry, and topped with milk chocolate drizzle.

Made this for a friend’s (who is obsessed with Ghostface) birthday, second pic is the inside. Vanilla cake with strawberry buttercream filling, white/pink buttercream outside.

I made this special cake for my little cousin sister with lots of love and care. Every detail was piped and decorated by hand, and I'm really happy with how it turned out. Baking and decorating cakes is something I truly enjoy, and over time I've made many custom cakes for my relatives and friends. Creating beautiful cakes that bring smiles to people's faces is one of my favorite things to do.

🎂 Cake Details

Cake Type: Round celebration cake

Cake Sponge: Soft vanilla sponge (it could also be chocolate if preferred)

Filling: Fresh whipped cream or buttercream layered between the sponge

Outer Frosting: Smooth buttercream finish

Top Design: Sky-blue buttercream with a hand-painted texture

Main Decoration: A beautiful dress made entirely with red buttercream flower piping

Character Topper: Printed edible image of a girl from the back, making the flower dress the main attraction

Border: Green buttercream leaf piping around the bottom edge

Extra Decoration: Silver sugar pearls and green buttercream buds for an elegant finish

Cake Board: Gold cake board to give it a premium presentation

This floral gown design takes patience and careful piping because each flower petal is individually made to create the dress effect. The combination of blue, red, green, and white gives the cake a vibrant and elegant look that's perfect for birthdays or special occasions.

I'm always happy to bake cakes for my family, relatives, and friends because seeing their happiness makes all the effort worthwhile. ❤️🎂

Hi. This is kind of a failed five layer chocolate cake.

The original recipe would be this one: https://www.instagram.com/reels/DZXhDFtsshU/

I then decided to, between each layer, add the following cakes (without the cheesecake / mousse part):

• https://scientificallysweet.com/brownie-chocolate-basque-cheesecake/ (brownie batter, bottom)
• https://bakewithzoha.com/chocolate-mousse-cake/ (sponge, top)

I baked them separately and then added them between layers.

I don't know if the measurements in the video are wrong or I've done something different but:

• The cookies were not enough to reach the top, should've probably added more (might be because they're different cookies).
• The white and milk chocolate don't seem to solidify as much as in the video, might be because I've added a cake layer in between and the weight is too much for them, but in the video they seem like they could hold some weight. Could also have to do with the chocolate used.
• My dark chocolate ganache is not anywhere as liquid as the one in the video, and from the others I've done with around the same measurements, they never were, so I'm not sure if the measurements there are correct or if it has to do with the %, I've used 60-70% in all the dark chocolate ganaches I've made.

Regarding the other batters (brownie and sponge):

• I've overbaked the brownie batter and it burnt quite a bit, I left it for 20 minutes because I didn't think it through, as the recipe is for a whole cheesecake and therefore won't require anywhere near as much time (nor temperature) to cook it. It became quite dense / hard and had to remove quite a bit of it.
• I've probably overmixed the sponge cake batter? It became denser than I thought it would, I tried not overmixing but I think this sponge cake was softer the other time I've made it.

So overall it's a bit of a failure, but that's part of it.

I made it with buttercream—it was my first time sculpting with butter. It was hard, but with the help of the refrigerator, I managed to do it. 😁

Fudgy, chocolatey, crunchy. The perfect chocolate craving fix.

Mounds cake by my wife.

its my first time making a birthday cake lol.

It’s my husband’s birthday and when I asked what kind of cake he wanted he said something with lime! So here is the cake!

The recipe is from Sugar Spun Run and includes homemade lime curd and stabilized whipped cream on top.

Strawberry with Vanilla Buttercream

Chocolate cake with peanut butter mousse filling and vanilla buttercream frosting. She was born last year on July 3 so the theme is Little Firecracker. My daughter is not fond of food dye so the color was added with sprinkles.
