My goodness, so much baking these days! The past Saturday was my boyfriend’s birthday so we celebrated by making a homemade burgers and seeing as I love to bake, I made him a birthday cake. I don’t think it actually turned out as well as I had anticipated because I had to substitute a few ingredients. I worked hard to make the appearance a bit better also.
My inspiration came from here: Strawberry and Creme Angel Cake (click on link for recipe)
So back to a bit of my baking process. First of all, I made my own angel food cake instead of buying store-bought. So the time frame was increased by a little bit. Also, instead of making it strawberries, which I had originally wanted to but raspberries were looking nicer at the groceries that day. This caused it to be a bit more sour. Also, instead of zest and orange juice, I replaced it with vanilla extract.
This cake was supposed to be trying to replicate a cake sold at a grocery store nearby called a Strawberry Sable cake. It had the side covered with sliced almonds, unfortunately I realized that we ran out of sliced almonds so I replaced it with coconut shred.
This time, to decorate I also bought some white decorative icing to decorate. it was the first time so hopefully next time, things will work out better.
I just bought raspberries, which are very hard to find over here! I’ll never be able to make something as good looking as this though.

Really? Raspberries are hard to find. I’m sure it’ll turn out great 🙂 Thanks!!
My biggest accomplishment has to go to the Coconut Cloud Cake and my Hamburger Cupcakes 🙂 I have quite 1-upped those recipes yet…
