Yellow And Black Bday Cake
Made for my sister and Dad's birthdays at the beginning of April. Unfortunately, the bottom half of the cake burnt (my fault entirely) and was unevenly risen, so it was a sloped on one side! This was my first proper attempt at icing and decorating a cake with royal icing. The black icing was quite wet and could have used more icing sugar mixed in, but I didn't want to lose the colour

White Chiffon With (Badly Made) Buttercream Frosting
My first attempt at White Chiffon cake; whilst I couldn't get the egg whites to stiffen completely (I'm totally blaming the fact that the beaters broke half way through the process of whisking them) it still tastes lovely, sweet and very moist. I'm impressed! Unfortunately I only realised that I had only 250g of Icing sugar after I'd already put enough butter in the icing for 400g of icing sugar. It still tastes ok, and it's crusted nicely, but it's very very buttery rather than sweet! It's also why the icing is a murky light green rather than the blue I was aiming for.
