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.

What to do, what to do? Well, I happened to have lots of grated cheese leftover from baking lasagna. Chocolate and cheese, perfect!!! Cut things short, here’s the recipe…

  • 1 cup of grated cheddar cheese.
  • 1/2 cup of sweet condensed milk.

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?
