My aunt(and Godmother!) Carolyn's best friend Susan asked me to make a surprise birthday cake for a little surprise birthday lunch for Carolyn. Her favorite cake is carrot cake, which I've never made before, but I tried and think it turned out good :):) I frosted and decorated with a cream cheese frosting and used some crushed pecans for garnish. My stepdad Jeff has even requested this for his upcoming birthday!
I made this cake at my boyfriend Jordan's apartment,
I had limited equipment but it turned out good anyways
It is a devil's food cake with Oreo pudding mix in the batter, it has a cream filling with some crushed up oreos, and the cake itself is frosted with a milk chocolate frosting. Yummmy.
Okay well this was the first time I made this cake, Ganache didn't work out the way I had hoped.
This is not the prettiest cake I've made but it is worth posting because it is delicious.
I tried a new chocolate cake, and swirled in milk chocolate and peanut butter into the batter and that turned out good. I tried a new peanut butter buttercream and LOVED it, will be using again for sure. I also tried ganache for the first time, and it didn't turn out quite how I had hoped. I learned some things for next time. But I am a beginner, everything is not going to work out with trial and error. But for all its worth here it is.
