So, we decided a while ago, perhaps a month ago, to bake during the uni winter holidays. Taking advantage to be creative and innovative! We challenged ourselves to make a rainbow layered cake. I'm sure we all have seen those awesome and successfully made cakes on the internet, books, magazine etc. that's why we chose it.
We started at 1PM and finished making the cake around 7:30PM. It took us 6 hours to make this cake, patiently waiting to bake each layer, cleaning up, deciding what to do next and how we were going to do it. A good way to use your brain during break.
Making this cake was messy and time consuming, nonetheless worth every single moment of our effort and time. Luna and I, as well as our extra helper (thank you, you know who you are when you read this!) were so happy that we successfully did it! Ticking this off our holiday-to-do list!
If you bloggers/readers want to know how to make a rainbow cake, just type into google 'rainbow cake recipe' and all sorts will pop up! Challenge yourself today, be creative and inventive!
Here are the photographs showing our progression throughout this whole day.
These Babushka measuring cups are the cutest!
These layers looked more like pancakes.
No rolling pin...GLAD WRAP AND OIL SPRAY CAN THAT'S HOW WE ROLL!
Apologies, it's so hard to write on cakes without messing up!
Luna was so impatient, wanting to see the inside of the cake!
And the result of it! It taste quite nice. We had to make sure the mazipan and fondant was thin enough so that we didn't get sick of too much sweetness.
So, yes, we decided to post up what we were up to these days. Today was fun, getting down and colourful. Always wanted to do this and we did it~ This cake was for no special occasion, but just for fun. Occasionally baking for no reason is quite fun and is a good way to concentrate.
There will be a post coming up hopefully next week! Please look forward to it!
Toodles,
Marie and Luna
