Cake itself:
honey cornbread cake
vanilla pastry cream
milk bar pie filling mixed with toasted coconut
frosted in whipped dark chocolate ganache, with chocolate bark
& decor is a salted honey italian meringue buttercream.
hohmygod did this cake try to kill me. 6 failed cake layers. A flop of a whipped ganache, and pivoting from carving my design into the ganache to rolled chocolate bark.
We learned birthday cake time is not the time to try to figure out a new cake flavor, or try some new techniques. Birthday cake time is for whimsy.
But she’s done! & I’d do it all a 1,000 times more because my now fiancée deserves a bomb ass birthday cake for her inner child, y’know.
thx in advance for following this lil yearly trend with us.
