I’m no cake decorator, but I’m proud of this one! Swipe to see what I started with 🤣


I decided to make a raspberry chiffon cake for my birthday, only I used frozen raspberries and they sunk to the bottom of my cake making an enormous hole, which I posted on r/baking fails. However, I managed to turn it around and I think I ended up with a great success!!

It's a vanilla chiffon cake with raspberries, stabilized vanilla whipped cream using Greek yogurt, lemon curd filling and freeze dried raspberries on the outside. It's is absolutely divine and everything I wanted for my birthday cake!!!!

    That’s definitely real cake decorator recovery work. It’s beautiful!

    A baker once told me that beneath some of the most beautiful frosting flowers there is a fucked up cake lol. Gotta learn to roll with it!

    I think you knocked this one out of the park.
    The cake is a real beauty.
    In a nut shell, this cake embodies you.
    You clearly have one hell or a deft baking hand.
    Happy birthday! 🎉🎂🎊

    Frosting and fondue are our equivalent of “don’t worry, we’ll buff out those scratches!”

    It looks amazing! Happy 24^(th) Birthday OP!
