Here are some random cakes that i've made the past couple of months. The first one is a coconut cake with key lime frosting. This was the first time I tried this recipe and it was for a friend's birthday. It turned out to be much more of a process than I thought! I mix and matched the recipe with a different frosting recipe. The cake recipe said it should take 25-30 minutes to bake. An hour later and it was finally done!! The edges were burnt, but the middle was perfect! I don't know if it was the recipe, the altitude, my oven, or the pans. The frosting recipe was actually for cupcakes. In order to get enough frosting to fill the middle layer and frost the entire thing, I had to multiply the recipe by 6!! I was planning on covering the cake in fondant and decorating it really cute. But, since I was still frosting the cake at midnight, I just left it. It tasted great and was a huge hit.
This next cake I made for a girl's birthday in my office. Since I'm the new girl, I thought I could impress them all with my baking skills. It's a chocolate cake with butter cream frosting. I've been designated as the new office birthday celebration coordinator.
