Mmmh, delicious!

My first sculpted cake, and one of my first cakes. Made in April 2007 for a threadless competition.

It’s vanilla cake with chocolate, vanilla, and strawberry lemonade buttercream.

The knife is a real knife so he can cut himself up to be eaten, in keeping with the theme of the original image:

4th of July Cake

I made a chocolate cake with strawberries, blueberries, whipped cream and vanilla buttercream for the 4th.

In terms of taste, I think we have a winner. It was the Hershey’s Chocolate Cake recipe with some extra chocolate, and it was delicious.

I am really happy with how the berry arrangements looked, but I tried to use whipped cream to decorate and it melted in the heat, and it was futile to try and smooth the frosting so I just went for swirly…or at least, I hope.
