The great cake challenge

     Hello again wonderful, brave readers. I have been lax about updating my blog of late, much has happened but I am writing now to tell you about a challenge I have set my self and think I might need a bit help with. Don't worry, your part involves eating cake. Yes, that's right, I am looking for people to eat cake and cupcakes and other sweet things, and maybe bread. Well, definitely bread because at some point I want to make bread that looks like a panda.
     The point being, I am going to attempt to make/bake/or otherwise throw together some sugary delight about once a week. Most of the things I make will be inspired by a recipe or picture that I find online which I will post here along with a picture of what I end up making. I have already chosen my first delight - a rainbow cake. See below.


     I chose this particular rainbow cake because not only do I have to dye the cake batter, but I get to dye frosting and use sprinkles as well! I have no idea what recipe was used for the cake in this picture, I am going to use a modified white cake mix with butter-cream frosting though. Hopefully I will not resort to mixes often, but this time I'm really focusing on learning how to stack a layer cake and dye frosting properly, and I may add powdered sugar clouds on top!

     Though I have chosen this week's sweet, I need help choosing for next week. So that I don't resort to dice rolling I am going to post three to five pictures every week (there will be some underlying theme every time of what I want to work on that week, but I will most likely have widely diverse treats) and I would love for people to vote on what they want me to make. As your motivation to cast a vote - I will attempt to make at least enough to feed those who do vote, regardless of whether yours is the top choice that week.
     Hopefully I will have pictures up of my attempt at a rainbow cake sometime tomorrow night or Tuesday. Do let me know if you would like a bit!

  1. I wish I were close enough to help you eat the things you bake! I will view photos eagerly, though :)

  2. I wish you were close enough too. If I ever bake in Nashville I might have to drop off some of the sweets with you then. :)
