Let's talk about Cake

Wow this Cake turned out Fabulous. Their are some things I would like to try differently next time. For starters, I love pink but I was more hoping for a Rose pink. So I'm thinking I am going to try another shade of pink, and use 2 different pinks.


Let's look at the overall result, are you ready?? Let me know what you think? Do you think different Pink?

The overall flavor of the cake, was so moist and good. For me it was a little too plain. I think next time, I will go with a filling, maybe try to match as much as I can with the cake color. I loved that cake recipe I posted for you folks.

Let me tell you, this wasn't easy as I thought. Don't let that intimidate you. We just need to not give up & keep trying. My first batch of Ombre Frosting didn't turn out. But that didn't stop me, I was so excited to just start coloring the frosting, that I started moving too fast, adding in colors fast. 

I wasn't happy with the results & I will show you, why.

My first time, I started coloring the frosting, I added a little in the first, then in the next one I added a little bit more, then the same thing in the next one. After I was done doing that then I mixed it up. It was just harder to work with the colors.

 (Sorry about the pics, my camera wasn't working right with the light)

In the first picture, it looks okay, but the colors just wasn't coming out like how I wanted it too, the last color wasn't dark enough, I kept adding Sky Blue food coloring, and it just wasn't that blue I was hoping for.

In the second picture, you can see that things went wrong. I thought if I added a little bit of green to the darkest color, that it would help the blue darken.... I was wrong, then I started playing with it too much, started adding green's in all of them. I just took a deep breath and gave up. I only gave up for like 5 minutes. I went to the grocery store bought more butter & powdered sugar. I was pumped and started to make the frosting, and then it happened my hand mixer stopped working, I said "Nooo". I start to whip that frosting like it has never been whipped before, I was determined to get that Ombre Rose Swirl on the cake. I tried again, but this time I kind of made a game plan, and took the time to do it right this time. I measured the frosting out, I decided to Ombre 3 different tone's this time. I dabbed a little gel color for the lightest layer of frosting, mixed it in and then went on to the next one. You can check that out in my previous post; in "Dirty Ice...Stack & Then do The Ombre Rose Swirl".

Overall I was super happy to finally try this new trend. Ombre Cake, and Rose Swirls. I was in love, I couldn't stop staring at the cake. The best part was to hear my friends and family say how " pretty & beautiful it was and that it was moist".

BEAUTIFUL
