UPDATE: Full tutorial for a Cross Cake here!
So I have been throwing around an idea for a new cake.
There are really beautiful scroll design techniques that I have been adoring from afar and I finally talked myself into trying one out.
This is a simple white cake with chocolate buttercream frosting and… well… I’ll tell you more about it in a bit.
Let me just say, the simple white cake recipe I tried did not turn out well and I highly doubt I will ever try it again.
The chocolate buttercream frosting tasted like bland brownie batter to me. Which is weird because my vanilla buttercream is almost identical to that and I LURVE it.
This is my first ever frosting rose(or some other indistinguishable flower).
But now is the fun part.
The next part of the cake is devils food. I did it bakerella style.
I baked the devils food cake then crumbled it and added about half a container of cream cheese frosting. It was now very easy to work with.
Can you guess what this cake is?
How about now???
This is my Faith Cake.
Not a “t” cake Mr. Tim, but good guess.
When I think of Christmas, I think about Jesus! And I wanted so badly to make a cake that would represent something from His life… so I made this cake with a cross in it.
I think this cake would be perfect if I used white buttercream with red scrolls and a green bottom border.
You just may see that coming up!
If anyone wants it, I will try and do a tutorial about how I made this cake… is there at least five folks out there who would actually want a tutorial??
What a beautiful cake and beautiful idea! I can’t wait to try this. My mother would absolutely love it (and my father will absolutely love eating it). It’s a perfect cake for the holidays.
me wants a tutorial 2….
I absolutely love your Faith Cake. And I love your blog design too. When I first clicked over, I thought, YES! This is so her! Yay for you, Amanda. You have such talent and I always enjoy seeing your beautiful desserts!
I’m not big on the whole outward religious thing, being a bit private myself.
But… I really like this. This is very sweet and somehow “right” in this season.
Thank you for sharing it. It’s quite lovely.
I would love for you to make a tutorial for this! Please do it!!
That is awesome!
I can not get over your talent. Man I wish we lived close I would take the burden of cake taste tester;)
I would LOVE to see/know exactly how you made this cake. It is beautiful and the meaning makes it even more perfect.
Bravo, You!
Tutorial please! 🙂
WOW – I just popped over from the Suite to see what kind of blog you had, and I’m drooling!!!
The Faith Cake is beautiful, and so is everything else! Wow.
I think I’m going to sign up to follow just so I can stare….
