the decorations a little all over the place with the frosting but this is the second cake i’ve ever made in my life so i’m proud of it! I make an orange chai cake with chai stabilized whipped cream frosting. I’m thinking to cut some of the heavy whipping cream with sour cream next time to make it thicker and more tangy. will see if that works bc traditional frostings are always far too sweet tasting for me. but overall the cake was such a banger. I also candied the oranges for the decoration so they were entirely edible :33

That orange chai combo sounds so cozy. I’d never think to candy the slices myself, that’s such a good touch.
happy birthday! this looks great. reminds me of this orange chiffon cake i saw in an old cookbook my mother used to own.
That looks like it was made by a professional. Very artistic & delicious looking. I hope you thoroughly enjoyed it & your day! Happy, happy Birthday! 🎉❤️
Yum this looks so good! Happy birthday!
I love seeing people making their own beautiful special birthday cake!
Have you tried ermine frosting yet? It’s also varied boiled milk frosting. Basically, you make a simple custard and work it into whipped butter. It pipes beautifully and is often less sweet. It’s my go-to because I dislike overly sweet or gritty buttercreams. Ermine is silky smooth, and you can customize it to your tastes and purposes. For a chai frosting, you can add your spices to the custard, and the flavor will be so much more intense
Happy birthday! Looks delish! Candied oranges are so yummy. I just made them for the first time this past spring, and my family and I are hooked. I am planning to make them as an old school Christmas treat around the holidays this year.
That looks delightful! Happy Birthday 🎈🎂
May you have the happiest of happy birthdays!! 🎈
