A Cake!

Okay, so today is the day! The fam came over and we cut into my labor intensive cake.

So, my notes. 

If you're doing a cake with marshmallows, you gotta cut into that the same day. These little mallows were so soft, it was so weird to eat with that texture. 

Otherwise, this was absolutely delicious. Loved it, loved the process, excited to try this again. 
 

Step 2 !

 Y'all, the cake is now done! Let's break it down. 

I took the cakes out of the freezer today, and did a crumb coat (where you put just regular frosting on the outside, to help the other frosting stick to it). I put the layers today, put the marshmallows in the middle, and then did the top layer before frosting. Looked pretty good, I think. 

Then I let the cake chill out and had the frosting dry/harden a little. 

Later, I made another batch of frosting, and dyed it for a fun cake. I frosted the cake this time, and oof. 

I found out that my frosting was just a bit too soft - I didn't add enough powdered sugar (I did copy the recipe I was given religiously but didn't know what I was looking for in terms of softness of this particular type of frosting). So I did my best, and I know how to fix it. But it did look ... fine. 

So .. here it is! And tomorrow, I'll be cutting into it and seeing how it tastes. 

I need it. I want it.

 Y'all, I recently saw this cake on Pinterest, and I need it. 

Doesn't that look hecking delicious?! So I brought it to my friend slash coworker who makes amazing cakes, and asked her to make it for me. (In exchange for money, I am not insane). She said it was easy enough that I could do it, and explained, step-by-step, how to do it.

I have absolutely no faith in myself, but hey, might as well give this a go. So today, I did the first step, which was to make the cakes. 

First of all, I had to go through a box of Lucky Charms and get all of the marshmallows out. 

Then I made the cakes, and using my very own leveler for the first time, make the tops all flat-like. 

It had to be a four-layer cake, of course. 

Then, since there are the mallows in the center, had to carve out a hole in two of the cakes. 

Then, I wrapped them up so tight in plastic, and put them in the freezer, until I am ready to finish the cake. 

Stay tuned!
