hmmm...does she get one present or does she get two? idk...but she got 2 cakes :)
i made Alicia a red velvet cake (chocolate) with pink cream cheese buttercream roses. the roses were so easy to make & look'd so impressive!
i met Alicia less than a month ago, after Thanksgiving. my neighbors / new friends Eman & David invited me over for homemade sweet potato pie after work, the same day Alicia & i became friends on facebook. we each had a slice of warm fresh-outta-the-oven sweet potato custard pie along with a scoop of chocolate peppermint ice cream (Yay for Holiday flavors), then we split cos they were going to the mall & i home to tofu. a few weeks later, Eman, Alicia & i had a dinner date - we mesh'd so well! making friends = priceless! =D
on to the cake, first i crumb-coat'd it.
then with a large star tip, i just piped circles of buttercream all over the cake, then cover'd the cracks/gaps with small strokes & VOILA! DONE! what's better is that if i mess'd up, all i had to do was scrape off the buttercream & re-pipe =D
this cake was by far my nicest layer'd one EVER!!!!! looks like plain ol' chocolate, but IT'S NOT! IT'S RED VELVET!!! =P
