Still far from perfect and my rosettes aren’t consistent, but it looks a lot better than my last cake. It’s a funny looking half cake because it was my first time modifying this recipe to be chocolate; I didn’t want to make a lot if it wasn’t going to be good. The center is vanilla pudding, then it’s frosted with vanilla buttercream, and then just added some chocolate for the borders.
I think a chocolate pudding or custard would’ve been better but I like the look of the white in the middle.
My daughter’s second birthday is coming up and I want to make her a chocolate cake something like this.

Looks good!
It looks great and keep practicing the rosettes! I lost my job in December (layoffs suck) and I’ve had nothing but time, so I just keep practicing my piping skills.
Here’s a few of my last rosettes. You just have to find a motion that works and stick with it. Consistency of your frosting, consistency in your piping direction, good piping tips and confidence in your ability will go a long way.
