UPDATE: Here is a tutorial for how I made this Lilac Cake! https://iambaker.net/lilac-cake-tutorial/
This is just a simple little cake meant to brighten your day.
Just a few purple flowers I hope will make you smile.
A plate served with three pieces.
Don’t judge.
Just enjoy.
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!
Wow! Usually when you cut a cake it destroys the design. But I do believe this cake is even prettier as slices than it is as a whole. Lovely, just lovely. Did you use several different tints of purple for the icing, or did you just not mix it thoroughly in order to have different shades?
I am loving that I WILL take time today to drive out and finally buy myself some cake decorating material. I’ve loved your cakes but have always felt too klutzy to decorate. TODAY IS THE DAY!! Thank you!!!
Oh my goodness, that is such a pretty cake! I’m going to have to try that!
the first thing my brain says when I opened this post is “OMG”. wow – you are quite the artist, quite the creative director of your kitchen! i love knowing you! x
I love lilacs, white cake and seeing your blog in the morning. Thanks Amanda!
Beautiful, simple design that just looks so perfect on the white cake. Oh its just so gorgeous!
how do you come up with the most simple, beautiful cakes? This is stunning…and btw, I LOVE your frosting recipe 🙂
Hello i am baker! I wanted to let you know that I tried your chocolate cake recipe and i asolutely love it!! It’s delicious and super moist. Not only do i like it, but my husand also loves it and he’s not too big of a fan of chocolate. Thanks for the great recipe
This is just gorgeous, as always, Amanda! You make the prettiest cakes! And, you have WAY more patience for all of those flower petal pastry tips than I do. I barely use anything other than a round tip these days… I’m slacking!
Wow. That’s just beautiful.
