I cannot remember a time when I did not bake. My mother bought me my first "Robin Hood" apron, chef's hat and oven mitts when I was just 6 years old. I have noticed a trend in the bakery world. Bakeries are making gorgeous cakes and cupcakes that look like a work of art. The trouble is, when you take that first highly anticipated bite, it is a complete disappointment. I may not be able to create a piece of a cake that looks like a Gucci purse, but I guarantee it will taste amazing!

Red Velvet Birthday Cake

We celebrated Robert's sister's birthday this weekend. Red Velvet Cake is her favourite cake, so I decided to make that for her. I used Martha Stewart's Red Velvet Cupcake recipe, which if you recall I have posted on here before. It's a great recipe, and I have no need to look for another red velvet recipe.

I sliced the cakes in half in order to have a 4 layered cake! Each layer had a thin layer of cream cheese frosting.

I start my cake decorating course tonight at George Brown. I'm excited to practice masking cakes and piping shapes!

Enjoy your week!

Love from,
