The cake that made me lose my cool today.
Not everything you see in the baking world is perfect. This cake which is one of my favorite flavor combos did not go as planned.
My cake cake out amazing, my cannoli filling came out delicious and the frosting came out perfect, however when put all together, that's where the frustration came in.. the cannoli and strawberry filling decided it didn't like the chocolate frosting damn and exploded out after I had stacked and secured it with straws and frosted. So I had to dissect a fully coated cake, scrap out some of the filling, re damn the boarder and pray it stood straight. My counter and tools looked like they put up a fight with Augustus Gloop from W***y Wonka. Frosting everywhere 🤦♀️.. I cried a little on the inside but I was determined to refix it. That is what my down fall is. I wont let a creation leave my hands if I dont feel like its up to my standards.
I took a step back, regrouped and fixed it and finally restacked and refrosted the cake. The final cake does have micro chocolate chips all over the cake.
This cake is a 6 inch 3 layer vanilla cake with a cannoli filling and strawberry pie filling between each layer and smothered in a whipped chocolate frosting and finished off with a topping of the strawberry pie filling on top and mini chocolate chips all over the cake.
In the end the cake came all together and im hoping the birthday girl enjoys it!
