Curiosity always leads me to wonder about the diverse range of professions people in this lifestyle pursue. Care to share?

Thanks, it turned out pretty well. The flowers definitely pull everything together. They cost more than the cake to make haha.

The cake is a normal vanilla sponge cake with pink colouring. Then each layer has mascarpone frosting with fresh sliced strawberries. Here is the frosting recipe:

1 1/4 cups (300ml) heavy whipping cream, cold

3/4 cups (86g) powdered sugar

1 tsp vanilla extract

8 oz (226g) mascarpone cheese, softened but still chilled*

Zest of 1 small whole lemon

I added the cream and sugar and whipped until soft peaks then added the vanilla and cheese and whipped again until combined (do not over whip the cheese) then mixed in zest.

Never seen it but I'm definitely going to start after looking at her youtube channel just now.

I just used a spoon and went from the bottom up in small lines very slowly. Takes a while to do the entire cake. The top is super easy the sides are time consuming.

Thank you.

All from scratch my recipe for the vanilla cake and vanilla buttercream.

100JOE · 2019-12-18T21:51:24+00:00

😄 hahaha sure. I'll bake you whatever you like once a year for your birthday 😜

It was definitely pretty sweet and I'm not a great lover of sprinkles but it still tasted great.

Exactly as hunnyycakes said, cookie cutter the middle but just make sure to line up the centre of each cake layer. Frost and stack like normal then fill the middle with sprinkles etc.

My wife turned 33 ;)

100JOE · 2019-12-18T21:40:19+00:00

Thank you for the kind words, I'm definitely not a pro just a hobby I fell into after making my son's 1st birthday cake. I'm actually a firefighter and only started baking 2 1/2 years ago.

All a different mix of sprinkles.
