Heeeeyyy bloggy!
I've been drooling over foodporns on Tumblr last week and I could not take my eyes off this beaaautiful Neapolitan cake with layers of chocolate, strawberry and vanilla cake! I decided to do whatever it takes to try baking it, so the next few days itself, I made a shopping spree to the supermarket. Teheee.

| My kind of shopping. ;p |
Soooo yea, I spent hours baking the cakes yesterday as I'm using a small oven at home and my mixer is a bit cuckoo. I HAD TO MIX IT BY HAND!;(
*KITCHEN AID'S MIXER AND A BIG OVEN IS ALL I WANT RIGHT NOW T.T*

| I personally think that the cakes were super cute. Lols, they're just 7x7 inch cake. Oh, I love the colours! |
And then the struggle started...
The buttercream turned out super fluffy and well beaten!
Until I start piping...

| I COULD NOT PIPE THE ROSES PROPERLY! :( |

| The end result.. |

| And this.. is how it looks on the inside. |
I have to say I'm quite disappointed with the outcome, but hey! There's always room for improvement. :)
Hope to make a better one next time.
What do you think about my cake? Drop a comment!
Thanks for reading. Tehee. x
How you did the buttercream ? Mine always turned up being a disaster all the time. Can u give me tips and the ingredients and the measurements you used ?
ReplyDeleteThe cake looks so great . =)
Dear anonymous,
DeleteHere's the recipe for the buttercream;
- 250g butter
- 200g icing sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Just cream the butter, make sure you don't overbeat it. When it's fluffy, mix in the icing sugar until well mixed. Again, the key is not to overbeat it and pour in the flavouring right after the icing sugar is well mixed.
That's all! Let me know how it goes. If it's too runny, chill it for a while and it's ready to use! :)
Thank you so much, and good luck. x
Cake semme. Nice cake laq..
ReplyDeleteHeyyy. Thank you so much! Still need to practice more on the piping skills, but seriously, thank you. :)
