The birthday cake

I have fun making cake. Bekah asked me what flavor my birthday cake would be, and I told her it was cake flavor. Or really butter flavor. I love fancy hazelnut-mocha-cherry cakes or whatever too, but for my birthday I prefer to keep it classic. As you can see, the frosting was a totally retro pink. I did my first swiss buttercream, which is more buttery tasting and less chokingly sweet than ordinary frosting; it gets part of its structure from egg whites and you have to beat and beat and beat it. It's delicious. Dale still likes cream cheese frosting the best, but I think prefer that with a more strongly flavored cake.
