Why: Word has spread about my tasty cakes and I was asked to make something for a bridal shower. The colors where black and white and they wanted buttercream. This was my first time working with black frosting and man, it was no fun. I learned that no matter how much black coloring I mixed into the frosting, the best I could get was a dark grey. I ended up having to run out and buy black frosting in a tube – for shame. I can’t imagine it was terribly attractive to eat this cake either as your gums/tounge would probably turn purple. Yikes.
What: The cakes were almond flavored cake with fudgy chocolate frosting between the layers. Because it had to black and white I did the outside in buttercream that had a slight almond flavoring to it. I had a grand vision of what I wanted to pipe on the cakes and it was a harsh reality when I first tried to pipe on the vertical sides. It’s all about pressure on the piping bag which was very hard to do because it was actually coming out of a plastic tube. Honestly, I kinda freaked out mid decoration but I think the result wasn't too horrible.
