My Very Merry UnBirthday
Let me tell you, yesterday i baked my own “UnBirthday Cake” and it came out De-li-ci-ous! It all started because I’m celebrating my 29th birthday (yikes!) at the end of the month, but since i no longer live in the same place as my whole family and I’m visiting until Friday we all thought it was an awesome idea to throw a small birthday gathering for me.
Since i got married a few moths ago, I have a new-found, lets say interest, in cooking and baking, so I was really really looking forward to this thing i found on Pinterest: NAKED CAKES (or rustic cakes).
I’m gonna be really honest with you, i cheated. I didn’t make the cake from scratch… there i said it! But I’ll tell you why, we decided to do the party merely 4 hours before the event. I actually didn’t have time to get all the stuff, so best idea ever? Get to your closest Walmart and buy some Betty Crocker’s chocolate cake. And so I did. But still I’m not a fan of the canned frosting and I wanted to do something a little bit special for myself; went online and found this gorgeous recipe of Raspberry Chocolate Cake.
And the rest is, well.. up there in the picture..!
It didn’t came up as nice as I would’ve want it, but it was amazing.
My tip would be do it when you’re not rushing, because this was the reason it came out a little sloppy, I didn’t let the cake cool down entirely and when I added the topping it melted somehow :(
Anyhow.. I loved the experience of baking my own (Un)Birthday cake, and I promise that on my actual birthday I’ll make me a prettier one!
