Cake : Oreo Cake
Filling : Oreo & Vanilla Butter Cream
I made a TIE DYE CAKE for a birthday party of my friend. Actually it’s for his son’s 3rd birthday, but I kinda hate him for already having a son when he’s younger than me! How could he??? AND his wife just gave birth to their 2nd child!! WHATT?? *end rants*
Anywaayy… the cake, yes. I was reluctant because, ONE, I don’t take order on birthday cake. NEVER. TWO, I have limited tools for decorating cakes. But he begged, and begged, and I let him begged some more, just for good measures, before I caved and agreed to bake him this cake. Of course, with a fair warning of I’M NOT THAT GOOD AT DECORATING FULL ON CAKE YOU SHOULD KNOW BETTER!!
So today is my best friend birthday, and I wanted to make something special for her. I decided to bake a double chocolate cupcake with vanilla bean buttercream frosting.
For the cake, I used a slightly different recipe from this one.
I reduced the Cocoa Powder and add some chocolate chips. This time i half cheated on the buttercream. I use a buttercream mix and whisk it with fresh vanilla pods. Don’t you just love the tiny black dots?
