So it's my nephew
's 6th birthday and he requested a strawberry cake. I made the golden buttercream cake from
Rose Beranbaum with whipped cream and macerated strawberries. I had to make 2 batche since the first one came out not thick enough for the double layer. I used 2/3 of the original recipe for the second batch since I was running out of butter. I am not sure why but the cakes came out quite dense. It is not completely flat but could've been better. I am thinking that one possibility is that for both batches, I didn't work as fast as I usually do so they were sitting in the bowl/pan longer than usual. Secondly, Taiwan is way more humid that New York so maybe my baking powder is not as good as last week (when I made a pineapple upside down cake). Anyways, here are some pictures...
ps I think after the post about Hello Kitty, views of my blog suddenly jumped... That's quite scary...
