I don't usually love doing cakes, especially the decorating, because it's so tedious and so hard to make it look how people expect. I was so excited to finally make this tuxedo cake!! and I think it turned out pretty great tbh. impressive looking without much decorating and sooo decadent.
Cut to the next day, an acquaintance/friend of a friend asks me if I could make a red velvet cake for her boyfriend's birthday (I also know and like him) and of course I want to. I've just never made one before. No prob, I think, Sally's got me right? I thought it came out perfectly until I was baking and the centers weren't done even when the edges got crispy. Suddenly I remember I only have 8 inch matching cake pans and it's a 9 inch recipe. Another 4 eggs, 1 stick of butter, and 3 cups of flour later (plus not overfilling the pans) this is what I got. I hope he likes it! I think at least a quarter cup of that cream cheese frosting ended up in my stomach during the making of this cake. It was also my first time using cake crumbs in decorating and I think it's cute! Even if I got them everywhere lol

That tuxedo cake looks INSANE!
I noticed your top layer looks thicker than the recipe photo – how can I get your version?
Not where I thought that title was going, but both cakes look amazing!
Can you accidentally send a slice to me? 🫠 They look scrumptious.
The kinda accidents I love! Both look great ❤️
Edit: forgot to add that I caramelized half the white chocolate in that layer of the tuxedo cake and I think it really enhanced the flavor even if there are a lot of other flavors working with it. I also used half milk & half dark chocolate in the ganache instead of all milk, because I just love dark chocolate lol
thank you for the recipie the tuxedo looks stunning!
Absolutely drooling at 8:49am on a Saturday

Happy accident
These both look amazing! I’m sure your friends boyfriend will love it. Great job!
I really want to try that tuxedo cake, especially since you caramelized the white chocolate. 😋
Isn’t that the worst? You’re baking a cake and suddenly, you trip and accidentally eat a quarter cup of frosting as you go down.
I love how cleanly the tuxedo cake cut! Beautiful work, I bet both taste divine!
I hate when I slip and all the ingredients of a cake (already prepared) go right into the oven.
Oops! All cakes
That ganache is T H I C C C C C C
