Hi thread, I just made a cake and I saw that it was okay to post things that aren't cookies so...



Chocolate cake with dulce de leche Italian meringue buttercream and dark chocolate ganache. My first attempt at doing a drip-edge cake.

edit: here, so I'm still playing in the rules - I made these as a thank you to our garage mechanics when we bought a new car, and they checked all of our prospective cars for free and kept us from buying a piece of poo poo.

Those are amazing! I took a cake decorating 101 class and I was awful. I mean, obviously I wasn’t a whiz prior but I didn’t expect to have such poor control etc. It also didn’t help that I have v warm hands so my buttercream was melting.

How did you get into decorating? How did you do those cookies??

Ugh, such beautiful creations! I’m jealous!

I have never taken a cake decorating class - I'm self taught, learning from YouTube and blogs and things like that. It's just something I find fun to do and strangely relaxing, although I struggle with trying to get my buttercream smooth, haha.

The cookies are just plain sugar cookie base, then I took a template I made out of paper and traced out the edges/logo in black icing, let it dry, then did the floods in yellow and green. It was only my second time flooding cookies too but I was super pleased with how they turned out.

Toffee bits = Heath pieces if you've got them in your local supermarket. Could do something like this but substitute in toffee bits instead of chocolate chips, or do a mix of both? https://cookienameddesire.com/coffee-chocolate-chip-cookies/

Also it's not cookies but close: I stress-baked lemon cupcakes with whipped vanilla buttercream.
