Note: the folks at Nielsen-Massey Fine Vanillas and Flavors provided me with a sample of their excellent pure vanilla extract, which I used in making this cake, but I was not otherwise paid or compensated for writing this post. Thanks to Nielsen-Massey!
I really want to be a baker. I probably spend more time ogling pastry and baking websites (like this one and this one) and wishing with all my might that I could make perfect swoops with an icing spatula and bake perfectly flat cakes. The truth of the matter is that I’ve never learned how to properly ice a cake. Most of the time, I keep piling icing on, thicker and thicker, in a vain attempt to try to make a beautiful, evenly-iced cake. What ends up happening is that I have a tired-looking, brick-heavy confection that sags from the weight of good intentions and poor execution.
This looks so good and eye-catching with the pop of yellow color! Nice! 😀
Thanks so much!
