SU Themed Birthday Cake....A little girly but oh so delicious!

Lemon Cake w/ Raspberry Filling and Buttercream Frosting

This cake started as an absolute disaster, but turned out to be a masterpiece.  This was my second cake class in a 4 part series.  It had been a long day, I was exhausted, and some how the oven got turned off in the middle of baking my cakes.  After grating all the lemon zest and making the cake from scratch, I was not about to start over.  The cakes sunk in the middle, so they just got a little extra raspberry filling (seedless jam works well) and buttercream frosting.  The technique we used on the top was chantilly lace and this was my first experience with making roses (definitely not the easiest thing in the world).  The cake actually turned out moist, flavorful and not too bad to look at.  Look out Wegman's Bakery, here I come!!

My love for cooking started when I could barely reach the countertops. My mom would get out all of the baking supplies and let me create. Needless to say, my cooking techniques have become a bit more sophisticated. I believe that I can recreate anything I see in a restaraunt or cookbook. For this reason, my husband has said that I have "ruined eating out for him". I also believe that anyone can cook a delicious meal at home, gourmet kitchen or not. I'm a working woman but I find that after a long day at work, my kitchen is my sanctuary and I'm never too tired to cook up something new. I get bored very easily so trying new things is always a must! I think that cooking has become such an important part of my life because I love making others happy and I'm able to do that through my food. Thank you to all of my family and friends for all of your love and support, especially my husband Shawn, you are the reasons why I cook!
