Photographed: THE Mocha Crunch Cake
A layer cake is just about the prettiest dessert there is, don’t you think? Stacked high and impressive with a smooth buttercream finish and a few embellishments, a layer cake, properly done, is almost enough to take one’s breath away.
I am passionate about cake and I believe there should be at least one person in every family who can create an attractive cake, with or without decorating skills. Cake is used to celebrate so many special occasions, and unfortunately many of those celebratory cakes come from Walmart or other sub-par bakeries. Making your own cake is not only more economical than purchasing one, but it tastes better, and is more special. The cake you create will be remembered (not to mention crazy delicious), whereas that nasty Walmart cake will be forgotten within five minutes, even if it did have your child’s favorite cartoon character on it.
Therefore, I’m embarking upon a quest to give anyone interested the tools they need to create an attractive layer cake at home. My husband recorded me while I constructed a cake for a friend last month, and I used the footage to create a four-part video tutorial series which I will share every day through Friday. (Thankful Thursdays will be cancelled this week so I can get this series done, but will resume next week.)
You don’t need any sort of decorating skills to create a gorgeous layer cake, you only need a little know-how. I promise. You can do this. Let’s get started!
