I had to try this cake after watching Krista and my mom make it. MMMMmmm yummy devil's food cake. I will never make the frosting again though, you have to stir it every 15 min for 2 or 3 hours!! It was so delicious though. I made the flowers with some extra frosting from my class. The kiddoes like the cake too. :)
Ohhh Melanie...That cake looks so good. Guess what? I'm probably going to take the 1st class of the cake classes in March. I'm sooo excited. I like the flowers on this cake. Very pretty. Also, I'm making my Martha cake tonight. YEAH!!
ReplyDeleteYum!!! I want chocolate!!! I'm making my January Lemon cake this weekend! I think I have all the ingredients. What are Meyer Lemons anyway??
ReplyDeleteI loooove those flowers! I am green with jealousy about your class now. Well, before I was sort of pale greenish yellow...and now I'm definately more of a jade green.
ReplyDeleteMeyer Lemons are a milder type of lemon. They have a thinner skin and are more of a light orange color. If you are using regular lemons in their place, I would water the juice down a little bit or they might be too sour.
ReplyDeleteI was lucky to use the Meyer ones because my dad has a Meyer lemon tree in the backyard and he mailed them out to me.
We used regular lemons and it was qyite sour...it was still delicious though.
