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. I wonder how many times I am going to write “you amaze me” on your blog before you get sick of it…? 😉

  2. Such a sweet, sweet lilac cake. I am gonna “ditto” Georgia’s comment above. Heck i’ll even copy & paste it.

    xxoo

  3. Oh my goodness. This is so beautiful and just looking at it relaxes me. I am one hour away from company coming for dinner. Wish I had seen this sooner and we would be having it for dessert. Heck, I’ll just print out the picture and put it onto a cake plate! We will be able to save some calories by just staring. Pretty sure my interpretation of your skills would never do it justice. Thanks for always brightening my day. You are amazing!

  4. Why can’t other bakeries be as good as you are? I live in PA… can you move here?
    I have cupcakes in my oven right now. I just did the old fill the ice cream cone for the kids. I shouldn’t have looked at your blog b/c now mine look really ugly.

  5. Yes, I’ll take all 3 pieces, please.
    And WHEN are you moving to Texas?!?! (And are you sick of my asking, yet?)
