Life is all about trial and error, right? Well, when I found this recipe (found here) for a pink ombre cake, I thought I could bake it in a pinch. (By the way, this is the first cake I have ever baked.)
Fast forward a few hours into the cake baking process and I was about to throw the cake away.I was so frustrated because the cake was not looking anything like the picture. But instead I called my friend, Dionna, and she came over and helped save my cake from the garbage.
Here are a few things I learned on how not to bake a cake:
1. Always level the top of the baked cake before stacking
2. Allow your cake to cool completely before taking it out of the baking dish
3. Make sure you are using room temperature butter when making homemade frosting
4. Always make sure your cake is completely baked before taking it out of the oven. Or it will "fall". Trust me
We were able to save the said cake. It might not have turned out exactly like the picture, but I loved the outcome. And it’s the perfect cake to bake in October in honor of breast cancer awareness month.
Not so pretty to begin with...
My messy kitchen. And yes, I cheated and used boxed cake mix.
Obsessed with this "bubblegum" colored frosting.
