Vanilla chiffon cake with whipped cream frosting, lemon curd and raspberry compote filling

Summery cake for my pool party. Yes I dropped it. I rushed making this cake and had some issues- I made buttercream to dam the filling and create a thin layer of "sealant" to keep the cake from getting soggy. But I didn't let the filling cool or set long enough, and it ended up melting the buttercream just enough for the "dam" to give way and well... I was at my wits end. I was able to plug the holes with more buttercream. All that work trying to tidy it up just to DROP it on the floor the next day. Whatever. Worst looking, best tasting cake I ever made.

Pumpkin chai cake with browned butter maple buttercream

This fall themed birthday cake I made for my sister was so yummy :D I decorated with fall leaves I found outside and oven-dried oranges. The browned butter was super easy to make and gave the buttercream a lovely toffee flavor. Link to recipe: https://www.halfbakedharvest.com/chai-pumpkin-cake/

Vanilla cake with strawberries and chocolate frosting

Had fun learning to make buttercream roses for this cake.

Earl grey cake with blackberry frosting and lemon meringues

To create the earl grey flavor I soaked a whole box of tea bags in milk and let it simmer for a while. For the blackberry frosting I just mashed and strained some fresh blackberries into the pre-made frosting- the flavor was fab but it did separate a bit.

Coconut hydrangea cake

This one was quite dry. I believe I overbaked. The hydrangeas came out great though! There are youtube tutorials for this technique.

Cat cake

I forget what flavor tis one was :P But the cat came out super cute!

Vanilla chiffon cake with whipped cream frosting and strawberries

I made this cake hong-kong style and the result was amazing- a quick bake for a valentine's day gathering.Super airy, fluffy, and moist. I started baking all my cakes hong-kong style after this. Whipped cream frosting complimented it perfectly.

Red Velvet cake with cream cheese and chocolate frosting

This cake was tasty but I was NOT prepared for the amount of black dye required to bake a black cake. Cocoa powder got me half of the way there but even still, I needed 2-3 bottles of black dye- this stained my poo purple for like 3 days.

Coconut cake

This was the first big cake I ever made- it was super tasty but my piping skills needed work.

Strawberry cake with strawberry frosting

This cake was yummy, but the level of strawberry flavor was almost too much. I blended freeze-dried strawberries and added the powder to the batter and the frosting. This technique was TOO effective- so flavorful and without any artificial flavor!

Oreo Cake

Oreo cake featuring batter with large oreo chunks baked in, and frosting with finely crushed oreo cookie dust mixed in. Annnnd store bought chocolate drizzle (embarrassing)

Pumpkin Cake

One of the ugliest cakes I've ever made but possibly the best tasting... I used a recipe that called for 2 cans of pumpkin puree and the result was a super moist and pumpkiney cake. Used a vegan cream cheese frosting recipe from NoraCooks.com

Marble Cake

Tried to make a Smash bros cake for a friend who likes smash bros alot. My mistake was trying to frost a cake in Florida in the summer in a house with a broken AC... everything just melted :( I was disappointed but it still tasted yummy.

Apple Pie and Ginger Spice Cookies

Just some yummy fall treats - I should make cookies more often but cakes are so much fun to decorate LOL.

Barbie cake

Made this cake for a Nicki Minaj album release party. I kindof hated how this one came out but it was fun to do a super girly pink cake. Then someone spilled BEER all over it and it soaked it up like a sponge-- INEDIBLE.
