I share a lot of cakes over here. And while they all have a few imperfections, I
consider them successful.
This year, I had a beautiful
cake in mind for my mom’s birthday. It
was going to be a tall, 6-layer lemon cake with blackberry cream cheese
frosting, with additional blackberries studding the filling. It was going to be gorgeous. Then, well, if you follow me on Facebook, you
already know that this happened:
For whatever reason, my
bottom layer crumbled, and the whole thing started to tip! I think, perhaps, that I put too much
blackberry puree into my frosting. The
frosting was a little on the runny side and I think it just couldn’t hold up
the cake!
I was able to salvage the top
three layers, and well, the rest was put in mason jars and sent to the
neighbors as a treat (it was still delicious after all, just a bit crumbly).
Despite the difficulty and
the runny frosting, the mini cake was delicious!
