    Cake. Very PoMo. I used to live near a baker. Sometimes I would bring home a cake just for no reason. They would always ask me what I wanted written on the cake. Sometimes I would get my name on there. Once I went with S.P.Q.R. just for goofs. Why do we have a tradition of writing on cakes?

    Did you use a piping bag to make the letters? I have to say the lettering is a good bit above my skill. Good crumb. Enjoy!

    Looks decent maybe more baking powder would make it rise better xo

    Congrats, Op, keep doing It. I think The slice looks tasteful, I would try for sure. Next time put The sub name on top of the cake Just for Fun hahha

    Looks good, I have made my share of chocolate cake both for holidays and my boyfriend’s birthday. If the frosting was a bit thick you could do about a teaspoon at a time of milk given the type of frosting you used to thin it or powdered aka confectioners sugar to make it thicker. Also to pipe it you could cut a corner of a ziplock bag over poking a hole in it. This is pretty good for first bake ever.

    That looks so good omg, that crumb is perfect.

    Also cake pan cake is such a clutch recipe, especially when you cba with creaming butter and all that. Your friend nailed the frosting too, absolute W collab 😂

    Honestly, for a first attempt this has way more personality than perfectly polished bakery cakes.
