Winner Bakes All!
What's New This Week???
This week I made a special birthday cake, and this was a big first for me. Of course, it was not my first birthday cake, but it was my first homemade strawberry cake. It may seem a little late (One and a half years) for me to make this cake, but because I rarely need to make strawberry cake, I would normally just use a box cake mix. To begin, I just made three strawberry layers. I made two puddings- vanilla and strawberry. Before I layered the cakes, I folded whipped cream into the pudding to fluff it up a little bit. I used buttercream in a piping bag with a big star tip to make rosettes on the sides and top of the cake. I noticed there were spots in the frosting where you could see cake, and unfortunately, I also ran out of frosting. So I took some of the whipped cream and using the same piping tip, I made some stars to cover up the spots. I then threw some sprinkles on the cake to give it just that little bit of shimmer. I also sliced some strawberries and placed them around the whole base of the cake. Then, it was time to put on the crowning jewel, the bright, red, juicy strawberry rose. I just used a knife to make cuts in a strawberry and fanned it out to make it look like a rose. I put a single strawberry rose in the center of the cake and... Viola!!! The cake was complete!
