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??
Comingfrom you Liz, I take that as a HUGE compliment!!! You are amazing!! Thanks for stopping by!

I love, love, love your site and am going to link to it from my blog later this week on the red/green cake. Then another time on this amazing faith cake. I got lost in the i am mommy blog earlier. I meant to leave you the names of people I follow on twitter…look at my list, but Sheila Walsh is always really good …all the women of faith are. I also follow Max Lucado, Pete Wilson, Big Mama, Kelly’s Korner, Luci Swindoll, etc.
The thing I LOVE about your i am baker blog … the thing that attracted me initially was that you used a MIX for your cake.
THAT IS MY KIND OF WOMAN!!!
Thank you darla. I needed that! I was just feeling a bit beat up cause I am not a foodie and some people reject me for my not from scratch cakes. You just made my night! Thank you!
