She has far more patience than I do!

Birthday cake that my wife made for my sister's boyfriend's daughter.

That is the literal definition on dedicated!

 

[Flushable Pets]

Agreed! So many little flowers!

That took awhile to do

That took awhile to do

It is 100% from scratch. From the cake batter to the cream cheese frosting. It's a layer cake and anyone who has ever done those knows they are a monumental pain the rear. All said and done, with cooling times, it took her 5 hours.

That's incredible! I love to bake too. I'm pretty good at cakes, but not that good. It always takes me forever too.

My kind of cake maker there! lol Im all (98%*) form scratch too. Layers can actually be done easily with the right tools. Just takes a little time to frost heavily in-between.
5 inst actually bad IMO. I just finished a 2 day (15-20 ish hours) cake. lol It didnt turn out so well. But it was fun and i learned a lot.


* Homemade fondant is SOOO inferior to store-bought.

@DwarfCichlidLvr Yeah, it is a mouthful. He's her baby daddy, but he has three other kids by three other women, but only sees the one and my niece. We just refer to him as "what's his name".

Let's see your cakes! I'll try and dig up some pictures of her other cakes she's done.

I bake cakes too. My recipe:
Grab a box of cake mix. Grease 9x13 pan.
Add 3 eggs, 1/3 cup of oil and a cup of water. Blend in mixer. Bake 30 minutes. Cool and then slap on frosting. Then dig in! TaaDaa.. done

I do make my own buttercream frosting though... healthier than that frosting in a can junk.

Pretty nice cake.

I've made some of my own, you can look in my thread, "trash.binh91's food chronicles".

Brilliant. Simply brilliant. Although box cakes can turn out alright.

It's all your fault....just because of this thread, I had a craving for some cake to eat. Baked a box of golden cake with fresh blueberries added, and made some buttercream frosting to top it off. Yum

It didn't look anything like your cake, but it was quick and easy and tasted great.

Although I am very proud of the job my wife did, I, personally, do not like cake. Don't hit me...

You don’t like cake? What’s wrong with you?
