Happy Valentine's Day

This week was more difficult than the previous to think of something to bake. I while I think it is important to branch out from the norm I decided that my ideas were getting to far away from cake decorating which was my original idea for this project. So, for the upcoming weeks I am sticking to cakes. Even though Valentine's Day was this weekend I already made red velvet cupcakes a couple of weeks ago so this week was pretty simple. I made a simple round cake with with chocolate cake mix and chocolate frosting on the top. Now, even though I said I kept it simple I still stayed with the holiday theme just because its fun to do and looks pretty too! After frosting the top with chocolate I then used a pipping bag and formed pink hearts in different sizes on the top. Because I previous said that the important part of this project is to continue to challenge myself I deffinetly accomplished this. The cake it self was easy but working with the piping bag was hard! It was hard try to keep my hands still while making the shape. Unfortunately my camera isn't working properly but pictures are soon to come!

  1. Where will you find inspiration for the next few cakes you make? How about a spring cake...or St. Patrick's day! How did the red velvet come out? I've heard there are a few varieties on red velvet...did you add anything interesting to yours?
    I think this is a really cool project, I'm looking forward to pictures!
