Geode Sprinkle Cake

Image
This cake is inspired by the beautiful and talented Sheri @sheri_wilson_ over on Instagram. A group of bakers on Instagram decided to make cakes inspired by Sheri as last week her Instagram account got hacked and deleted.  She is currently using a new account but she has lost all her hard work and close to 100K followers.  Please head over to Instagram and support her new account. I decided to make this Geode Sprinkle Cake as it's a technique I have not tried.  I love the use of sprinkles instead of sugar rock. This Geode Sprinkle Cake is made of a moist vanilla cake with a delicious raspberry jam between the layers and covered in a smooth Swiss meringue buttercream.  It is finally decorated with sprinkles. It was fun to learning this new technique but I definitely want to try some gold leaf in the future.

Striped Vanilla Cake

When the sweet and talented Brittanie @brittanie.bakes on Instagram was hosting a striped cake collaboration, I thought this would be the perfect time for me to attempt making my first striped cake. Be sure to check out #stripedcakecollab over on Instagram to see all the amazing striped cakes created. I recently purchased some new piping tips and it come with some small cake combs.  I didn't realise that it wasn't the striped cake comb that I needed until I was about to decorate the cake.  So, instead I used the technique of piping one colour followed by the next colour and alternating it until I reached the top of the cake. I was pretty happy with how my striped cake turned out.  The stripes are not perfect but I was wrapped with my first attempt. This Striped Cake is made of vanilla cake.  The cake layers are filled with delicious Swiss meringue buttercream and raspberry jam. Finally, the whole cake is also covered with this smooth buttercream and decorat...
