Our Amie had a birthday recently. She is now Eleven-teen (ha!) and when I asked her for a cake request, she said, "not chocolate" which gave me a lot of creative leeway. I let pinterest have its way with me....and decided to try out this recipe:
Vanilla cake with strawberry cream cheese frosting from Baby Gizmo
I make a truly from-scratch-cake about as often as the locust swarm...I'm usually a boxed-mix girl. This cake was very, very tasty. It was very, very gooey though. I'm thinking next time around, I will try making little mini cakes or muffins and put the filling and frosting on top.
I realized, about half-way through trying to frost it, that I shouldn't have frosted the sides... My first thought was "Nailed it!!" The un-frosted side is very pretty, though.
It was a very yummy cake, though very big!
The verdict? A keeper recipe. -I need to add a board on pinterest for pins I've actually done.
what about you, do you just pin things, or do you actually try many of them?
