My friend knows I love to cook and bake, it’s pretty much my primary hobby. But I don’t decorate or make things look pretty haha I just make simple delicious foods and treats from scratch.
But when she asked if I could make something, I wanted to at least give it a shot. Figured why not.
I was super hypercritical of it, I made it in a rush late at night a day before because I forgot when the contest was 😅
She had no ideas and I just sort of worked on a whim. I felt super cliche and unoriginal making it but it was the best I could decide on short notice.
I opted to try using fondant instead of piping because I had zero confidence in being able to pipe well and didn’t have enough time to make a buttercream either.
All in all, start to finish so from mixing, baking, prep, decorating and completion, I did this in about an hour and a half.
There was a lot I regretted and wished I had just started up super duper late so I could make it perfect.
But apparently it was already perfect enough!
She was excited to tell me not only did it win, but a lot of the doctors in the building were gawking over it and pointing out what was the front/back and all the other parts of the brain. And some even said it was too realistic to eat lol
I’m so proud of myself for trying something new, it was actually so much fun and it’s so cool to me that my cake won a contest!

I saw this cake decorating technique on yt and really like it. But I'm wondering how one would finish the top of the cake and the base? Suggestions? There are two versions of this technique floating around, one with the strands going down almost to the base and one where the strands go down about 2 inches from the top. I'm attaching images of both versions.

Hey guys! It’s my uncles birthday on the 16th and he really loved the caramel sauce I made the other day. I want to bake him a cake but idk which one, any ideas and recipes would be of help!! I’ll post an update in the next few days!! I was thinking of a caramel toffee cake but that’s similar to butterscotch. Any suggestions would be really appreciated! Thanks in advance

Hello!

For context: I love tea normally, but I also love to make tea-infused cakes from time to time. Examples include: Lady Grey with Black Currant tea frosting (pictured with a cup of Lady Grey), and English Breakfast with Lemon glaze. It's a fun mix of two things I love, so I'm always curious about new combinations.

I recently went on a trip and obtained a berry tea (Huckleberry if anyone's familiar. It's a balance between sweet & tart). But I'm having trouble knowing what to pair with it?? When I taste huckleberries, they remind me most of a concentrated blueberry.

Question: For anyone familiar with Huckleberry, or used a lot of berries in their cakes (blackberries, blueberries), is there a go-to flavoring you pair with it? And do you usually use it in the cake, or frosting?

Separately: If you've made tea infused cakes before, what flavors have you made and how did they turn out (Matcha, Chai, etc.)?

One of my favorite Book cakes I did for a clients baby shower last year. I used my airbrush machine for this one!

Because spooky season is here and I’ve wanted to make a pumpkin cake.

I want to get better with decorating. I only have one tip right now.

I actually leveled this cake! Can you tell? 😅

This is for my math project and I cant ask any people in my school or in real life because I'm really scared they would laugh at me. Could anyone please answer my short survey? I'm sorry if there's no cake flavours you like in here. 😢

First time making this funfetti cake recipe from Preppy Kitchen! It was fun to make and tastes DELICIOUS!
