My first blog post! I realized a while ago that I'd become something of a baking nerd. I also quickly realized that not many people want to hear me relate to them my research on various types of buttercream. So, I'm starting this blog. Hopefully, if you read it you are also a bit of a baking nerd and find my baking research and adventures at least somewhat interesting. I am by no means an experienced baker, so all of these projects are learning experiences. Some of which succeed (at least mostly) and some of which...don't. I consider this birthday cake that I made for my mother's birthday mostly a success! Woot!
My mom requested a chocolate cake (everyone always does). She later added that raspberries might be nice as well. I had previously made some cupcakes decorated with chocolate plastic roses that my mom seemed to like, so I decided to make some more of those for her.
