I tried a new recipe for this one! Mock Angel Food!!! Turned out wonderfully, will be making that one again for sure. This was my first sheet cake, 12x18x2! There was soo much batter, did not fit in my mixer! 16 egg whites in this one! As far as the decorations, they reminded me that I am a beginner and its not as easy as I would like sometimes, its a lot easier to draw out my design I want but doesn't always come out just how I would like.
This cake was very special to me, because it was for my Aunt Cloranda! We surprised her for her birthday and I knew I wanted to make a cake, but I didn't know what. We joke that she is my toughest critic, because she also makes cakes sometimes too. I knew she would appreciate it too! My mom helped me decide with this color scheme and we all were happy with how it turned out.
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!
