I love baking cakes especially with Kofo but my only issue is the presentation. I can guarantee that my cake will taste nice but I cannot guarantee that it will look very pretty. With layered cakes I find that as I butter the layers, the cake tends to lean to one side. And when it comes to icing the whole cake it just looks a right mess. There are some cakes that are so well presented that they look too good to eat. That’s what I want my cake too look like. I guess I need to keep practising.
I was asked to bake a cake for a send off party for a few friends leaving Aberdeen last week and I decided to bake a red velvet cake. I was a bit worried about the presentation so I came up with a solution. To distract the cake eater from the messy look, I take a very thin slice off each cake layer, chop them to make fine crumbs and mix in a little butter cream and the paste it all over the cake. It looks like this:
I also bought a new camera this weekend. I baked another red velvet cake to test my new camera and also test my new cake trick. What do you think.? Did I pull it off?

This looks really nice. Coincidentally I'm baking a red velvet cake at the mo. Had a design planned out already, but I'm definitely incorporating this into it. The cake looks really yummy.. Nice!
