I recently turned to Reddit for some advice I needed for a baking competition I entered myself in. It was a small amateur competition but had quite a bit of entries! I entered an almond cake with lemon curd filling, raspberries, and a mascarpone whipped cream. I topped it with candied lemons I made and raspberries. I ended up winning first place and a ninja creami deluxe XL! Thank you all for the kind words and advice 😊

    I support you 100% but I am disappointed I didn’t get my slice, OP.

    Congratulations. I hope you got to taste a bite too! Those candied lemons look 🤌 (chef’s kiss noises)

    you’re cheating. What kind of amateur makes candied lemon that good looking?

    **i’m complimenting to be very clear**

    That sounds delicious! I might have to make one if I ever get over my layered cake aversion. I can’t ever get them to stay on top of each other lol

    That cake looks incredible, congrats on the win! Lemon and raspberry is such a perfect combo.

    Omg I’m so here for that flavor combo I love lemon!! Especially with raspberry an the candied lemons, they seem intimidating to make, were they? I usually buy a candy version, but I would make them at home if it wasn’t to hard!
