SWEEP!

Here’s a recent cake, for once. This one was a yellow cake (from my new favourite yellow cake recipe, “Essential Yellow Cake” from the book Wedding Cakes You Can Make by Dede Wilson) with a lemon butter filling, covered with a thin layer of vanilla buttercream (an OK Italian Meringue Buttercream from a recipe I probably won’t use again) and rolled fondant (the McCall’s brand, which is HEAD AND SHOULDERS BETTER than the WIlton kind!!)

I wasn’t happy with the writing on this cake at all. It’s crooked, and block-y, and I didn’t like it one bit. I also dropped the FoodWriter and made a mark on the cake, so I had to make the line where the mark was - hence why the lines do not meet in the centre of the button. Anyhoo, I would get a chance to re-do my writing the day after I made this. I left it on the table in a cardboard cake box, and when I got up the next day my cat had SAT ON THE BOX AND CRUSHED THE CAKE. I’m not even kidding. Thankfully, it was salvageable, and my second go at the writing looked much better. Yipes.
