I used my basic white cake recipe.  I whipped up a batch of buttercream, added some purple and piped away.

Hope your day is full of plates with three pieces of cake!

  1. Do you ever get stressed about finding ways to frost cakes? You always make it look so effortless and beautiful!

  2. What a beautiful cake, it looks so old-fashioned! All you need is a slice of that and a glass of iced tea!

  3. Amanda, your cake is gorgeous, but you know, the first thing I look at now in your posts is which cake platter you’re using! LOL!!
    I think I have cake platter envy. Is that wrong?
    I’d LOVE to see your collection! Hey, can you post a picture?

  4. Your posts always make me SO SO hungry for cake! I have to decorate my sister’s wedding cake in UK at end of August – I’ll have the morning of the wedding to do it – any ideas for something quick easy and fail safe?!
