what do you want for your birthday?

A cake.


It’s a simple answer but not so simple when you get to the part about making the homemade caramel and whipping together the buttercream; trimming the cake ends and cutting the layers. This is what 15 eggs, 8 sticks of butter, and 5 cups of sugar can become. A brown-sugar layer cake with salted caramel buttercream frosting. Made from scratch. 

Thank you Shi-wen.

happy birthday, from scratch



I requested... a three-layer chocolate cake with peanut butter cream frosting and a dark chocolate ganache glaze. I got... the best cake I've ever had in my life.

Thank you Stefano-shi!
