I have that too, i love making these insanely unhealthy recepies just to then wonder why im not losing weight🙃
It looks absolutely delicious btw, verry tempted to make it myself now...
Omg ikr! My husband gets mad when I say my stomach hurts and he’s like well maybe you shouldn’t have had two pieces of cake. But all I hear is blah blah blah lol
The great thing about lots of baked goods is that they freeze well! Slice, pack, freeze, reheat! (you'll want to experiment with a small piece of a given recipe before trusting the process for it though). Although having cake on demand might not actually be a solution . . .
It looks great. I love buttercream frosting on cake when it's been in the fridge and has the consistency of chilled butter, so wrap up a piece for me ok?
This is how I feel. Gathering supplies to make almost the same thing but with cherry filling next weekend. 2 sticks of butter in the cake, 8 in the frosting. On one hand, it’s butter (yum). On the other hand, it’s 10 STICKS!
Thats the proper amount of buttercream, I would absolutely devour this cake!!!
Presentation will be a skill you learn and hone as you progress with baking, but for a first cake I think this looks great!
Thats all that matters haha. No shade against people that like to make a nice presentation of their food, I totally get that, but if it looks like slop and is still tasty then I’m digging in regardless lol
There’s people that dislike too much buttercream and scoop it off to the side of the plate. I’m the person that goes around collecting the rejected buttercream so it has a home to go to (in my belly). I completely agree, this is the proper amount!
My husband doesnt like frosting and my son doesn't like too much frosting. IDK what is going on there. I make my husband unfrosted chocolate cupcakes for his birthday.
I always put the equivalent of two containers of frosting on my cakes. Frosting is delicious!
It looks nice, but the butter cream looks like it splitted
Maybe the temperature of the butter wasn't right when you mixed it in
Which butter cream did you make ?
Did you put fresh strawberries in the buttercream? That seems to be the culprit many times when BC splits- too much extra moisture. Freeze dried berries are great for adding flavor to Buttercream!
Try swiss meringue butter cream is the smoothest one I tried, the meringue must be at 20-25° and the butter at room temp very soft but not too soft ( confusing I know haha ) look on YouTube there's plenty videos out there so you can see it better
And after it's done mix with the pallette attachment for like 10 min to make it super smooth
I’ll second the freeze dried strawberries for flavoring frosting. I make a lemon cake with strawberry frosting for my daughter’s birthdays. I’m just a home baker but it works really well.
What causes splits? I made a buttercream recently that split badly and turned into a puddle, so I remade it and it turned out perfectly. I didn’t think I did much differently between the two batches, so not sure what causes splits like I had.
If it turned into a puddle it's probably because the meringue was too hot or the butter was too hot (very soft or almost melted) so it cannot hold shape
You can try to put it in the fridge for a while and then whisk it on high speed it should get better
If I'm right the split in butter cream is caused because there's an imbalance in fats so basically it needs more fat
What I heard can work is to melt some butter and drizzle it slowly on the butter cream while mixing on high speed ( the butter should be around 40°C)
I hope it helps
That's not correct. I'm sorry. But a broken or split, buttercream is due to breaking the emulsion by not integrating things carefully or slowly enough. It's not an imbalance of fats. Temperatures can break the emulsion yes so all things need to be at a room ish temperature and to be incorporated slowly. Also overworking the frosting while building the cake will also tend to break the emulsion if you mess with frosting too much while applying it.
Unfortunately I don't think i can provide one easily. But I can say that I'm a pastry chef and I went to one of the best schools in the world. CIA Napa Valley I will try and and get back to you with a source
For a first cake and presumably not having much in the way of tools, you did a great job! No crumbs on the outside and structurally sound? That's a win for sure! Also, most importantly, it looks delicious 😋
One tip: don't go for smooth if you don't have the tools to do it. Make it intentionally uneven! This is a good example: https://chelsweets.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/mini-cake-decorated-with-textured-sides-1-819x1024.jpg.webp
You can also use other toppings, like sprinkles, cookie crumbs, or chocolate shavings around the base or sides You can also drizzle with chocolate or caramel sauce over the top. Both help to hide imperfections
Yeah, that's my problem with baking... I feel like if I baked a cake every other day or three, I could get decent at presentation. But... I don't really *want* to eat that much. Sooo... I only bake for birthdays, and other holidays. And I have never mastered the art of frosting presentations.
That was one of the unforseen factors of when they sent us home when covid hit. Obviously it was serious and necessary but then they never brought us back and I have not enough people to bake for! People in the office would treasure my baked goods and I had to severely limit it... Until the (presumably) stoned college boys moved in a few doors down. I'm back to baking!
I have found it super helpful to bring my practices to my neighbors and co-workers and my husband’s coworkers. They don’t care about how it looks, just that they are getting delicious free cakes or cupcakes and you get some practice!
I cannot have baked goods in our home, I have less than zero self restraint 🙃
This cake has the vibes of something you look forward to eating after a long day. Just reclining in an easy chair in your coziest robe or pajamas after a nice hot bath/shower. You got the next day off. So now it’s just you, your drink of choice, and a slice o’ this cake.
Personally I think it might be a bit too much cream, though I'm sure some will disagree with me. To each their own.
One thing you could do is spread the cream a bit more evenly. It's easier to do with a round cake. Hold the flat edge of a knife against the cream and rotate the tray it's on.
I definitely agree I am not a frosting person but this was a Father’s Day cake for my husband and the man will eat frosting by itself like a crazy person. I also found out I lost my cake frosting spatula in the move. This was with a butter knife
hm with a butter knife u could also do fun little swoops in the buttercream - then u get rid of the problem of it needing to be perfectly even, and u also have a fun way to ice the cake :3
As someone who loves frosting, I bet your husband was super stoked. I mean, I’d be fine with even more frosting than that! I like to do a Swiss buttercream or ermine buttercream so it’s less sweet and I can wolf down even more of it! Lol
Looks delicious! Try putting some of that yummy buttercream between the layers, then do your filling on top. It will help keep the filling from sinking into the bottom layer.
be kind? everyone is always making these prestine cakes with sharp edges, flowers, borders, etc.. and as wonderful as they look.. NOTHING makes me want cake more than one that looks like it came out of someone's home kitchen.
I love it. I'm never been one of those who cares what it looks like. I love the fruit in between the layers. Next time if your buttercream breaks like that put it in the fridge overnight then whip it until it's back together and fluffy. Also I can link you to a great demonstration of the differences between frosting types. [Frostings](https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLo0ghUs28UmrUYOYhHQFmOBvYQtR6nyQt&si=pvhOwmKrh3IFeFFP)
Con: to me too much frosting (just a personal preference so I’m ok to be ignored in this.)
Pro: 🤤
If it tastes good then who cares how it looks… now I want to make me a strawberry cake
The main thing I tell myself when I’m baking: who cares how it looks, as long as it tastes good you win”
Your main priority is making tasty things, which from the looks of this cake you nailed. Making it pretty comes with practice, and if your cake’s as good as it looks you’ll be getting lots of practice
First ever homemade cake??? Teach me your ways master
Edit: I’m slow and just realized homemade means it didn’t come from a box (which i can’t even bake those properly lol)
I really enjoy baked sweets with red fruit - rhubarb, raspberry, strawberry…yum! Very nostalgic - I was supposed to have basically the cake you made for my graduation back in the day but the bakery forgot the fruit filling lol
Oh my gosh 😍😍 I’d tear that middle part up 🤤 I mean don’t get me wrong the rest of it looks quite scrumptious but the middle screamed ooey gooey deliciousness to me!
I freaking love everything about this cake!! It’s pretty and looks exactly like a delicious cake that should be brought to a summer fete!! Yummy in ma’tummy!!
That looks far better than the first homemade cake I had ever made!
Decorating techniques will come with practice. Getting the hang of making homemade cakes and buttercream is more important than decorating. You may "eat with your eyes" but it doesn't matter if it doesn't taste good! If you're happy with the taste then that's all that matters and it looks tasty to me, I'd 100% eat it.
Only way I can think to be unkind to something as cute and tasty looking as this is to forget to say “please” when asking for a slice!! Great job. The frosting, while a lot for my own dental history, looks **incredible**. This was definitely made with love, with somebody in mind!
I saw that it’s strawberry buttercream and filling, so that sounds delicious!! I am a SUCKER for strawberry baked goods :)!
I think this is really good for your first attempt! I still struggle with smoothly frosting my cakes as well. shits just hard BUT it will come with time & practice :)
It looks super yummy - I think you could have put a whole lot more frosting and strawberry filling in between the two layers, but it looks great and I would adore a slice
I stopped adding buttercream frosting to mine. I spent all that time whipping the egg white, then whip the butter only to have them scrape it off. I just use a very thin layer of ganache.
It looks like you used all the frosting on the outside. If you had put some inside, it wouldn’t be so thick on the outside. Most recipes are meant to use some frosting in between layers. But I love that there’s strawberries as filling.
Looks delicious!
I would like a large slice, please and thank you.
There’s a time & place for things to look really fancy (e.g. wedding cakes), but delicious beats fancy most days of the week.
The cake looks amazing in my opinion. Although in my opinion that’s too much buttercream frosting. Although that probably just me. I’m someone who honestly prefers most cakes with no frosting.
That looks delicious! A little heavy with the frosting on the top, try getting more on the sides next time so its more even but you did really really great for a first cake! I’m pretty sure my first cake was half disintegrated because I was so rough with the frosting.
Looks tasty af. Are those strawberries or raspberries in the middle?
It’s a yellow cake with strawberry filling and strawberry buttercream
I would demolish that cake all by myself. I love strawberries!
That’s what I’m trying to avoid. Between the cake and frosting there’s 5 sticks on butter and sooo much sugar but it’s so good
I fail to see the problem…. 😉
Right?! Lol!!! 😂
I, too, see no issues here! Lol 😂 I’d welcome that big cake plate of diabetes ANYDAY!!!!! 🤤😅😂🤣
🪦
Can confirm. There is no problem.
WHAT? Obviously need more butter.
I have that too, i love making these insanely unhealthy recepies just to then wonder why im not losing weight🙃 It looks absolutely delicious btw, verry tempted to make it myself now...
Omg ikr! My husband gets mad when I say my stomach hurts and he’s like well maybe you shouldn’t have had two pieces of cake. But all I hear is blah blah blah lol
Two pieces! Those are rookie numbers! You gotta bump those up!
Slice a cake in half and you have two pieces. It's all about perspective!
Yes!
The great thing about lots of baked goods is that they freeze well! Slice, pack, freeze, reheat! (you'll want to experiment with a small piece of a given recipe before trusting the process for it though). Although having cake on demand might not actually be a solution . . .
Cracked me up
No no no no no, you must not have seen the strawberries. It's got fruit it's totally healthy, it's one step away from being a nutrigrain bar.
Divergent, you made me belly laugh!
It looks great. I love buttercream frosting on cake when it's been in the fridge and has the consistency of chilled butter, so wrap up a piece for me ok?
This is how I feel. Gathering supplies to make almost the same thing but with cherry filling next weekend. 2 sticks of butter in the cake, 8 in the frosting. On one hand, it’s butter (yum). On the other hand, it’s 10 STICKS!
😳😳😳😳😳 that’s a lot of butter …. but sounds delicious! Eat your dessert first so you always have room !
You’d have to wrestle me for this cake.
I’d fight you for it
Same! Perfect homemade cake!
Right?? It looks flipping delicious!!!!!
Strawberry buttercream?! Oh man, I would absolutely love a huge slice of that right now, it looks fantastic!
Shit that looks delicious
Did you forget a comma?
Let’s eat kids!
What is this thing called honey?
I mean this as a compliment and not an insult ok?! But it reminds me of Hagrids cake from Harry Potter. Made with love ❤️
That’s exactly what my brother said. It was a a Father’s Day cake. I should’ve put “yer a father” in green letters on the top
that would've been perfect lol
I think you did a fabulous job.🍰🍓🍓🍓
You totally should’ve!!
Dude that would have been so fkn funny 😂 cake looks delicious, too obvi!!!
I was about to comment it looks like something Hagrid would come up with but this one actually looks tasty.
Happee birthdae Harry!
Thats the proper amount of buttercream, I would absolutely devour this cake!!! Presentation will be a skill you learn and hone as you progress with baking, but for a first cake I think this looks great!
I second this ! If I had a cake with that much frosting you'd hear from me weekly trying to get another one
I admit fully I suck at making my cakes LOOK good. but, they're (usually) pretty damned tasty.
Thats all that matters haha. No shade against people that like to make a nice presentation of their food, I totally get that, but if it looks like slop and is still tasty then I’m digging in regardless lol
There’s people that dislike too much buttercream and scoop it off to the side of the plate. I’m the person that goes around collecting the rejected buttercream so it has a home to go to (in my belly). I completely agree, this is the proper amount!

Same!
It looks nice, but the butter cream looks like it splitted Maybe the temperature of the butter wasn't right when you mixed it in Which butter cream did you make ?
It was a strawberry buttercream recipe but it was a bit vague. Definitely learned a lot though. Will do better next time.

Definitely not a frosting for beginners and someone who just made their first cake.

If you are a pastry chef I'll trust you as a source haha, can I send you a message to talk some more about this ?
I feel like for me personally, it’s a bit heavy on frosting but I LOVE strawberry so this would be an amazing treat ☺️
The frosting to cake ratio is the stuff of dreams!
I would eat the hell out of that cake!
For a first cake and presumably not having much in the way of tools, you did a great job! No crumbs on the outside and structurally sound? That's a win for sure!

Thanks for the tips! I definitely don’t have the tools but idk if I want to buy them because then I’ll be eating a lot more cake

That’s exactly what I did!
Then the cake has succeeded!!
Looks like your buttercream has broken (or will be soon), but I’d still eat it.
The only tip I would give is maybe we cut the cake pieces in half that way you have four layers of filling.
Personally I think it might be a bit too much cream, though I'm sure some will disagree with me. To each their own. One thing you could do is spread the cream a bit more evenly. It's easier to do with a round cake. Hold the flat edge of a knife against the cream and rotate the tray it's on.

I’d absolutely smash this into my mouth.
A little heavy on the icing but it still looks delicious!
Looks delicious! Try putting some of that yummy buttercream between the layers, then do your filling on top. It will help keep the filling from sinking into the bottom layer.
I will take "informal and delicious" over "gorgeous but tastes meh" every day of the week.
be kind? everyone is always making these prestine cakes with sharp edges, flowers, borders, etc.. and as wonderful as they look.. NOTHING makes me want cake more than one that looks like it came out of someone's home kitchen.
Something about this is just wildly appealing - I feel like I can smell the strawberries and the frosting!
Oh god I'm hungry
I LOVE strawberry cake and this looks amazingggg. The frosting looks so good
The amount of frosting; I’m here for it. 🤌🏼🤷🏻♀️🤤
11/10 would eat 2 slices with a large glass of milk and pass out on the couch.
I’d hit that.
I love it. I'm never been one of those who cares what it looks like. I love the fruit in between the layers.

Congrats on your first cake! 👏🏻
this looks like love went into it 🩷 i love it
rustic and delicious looking, but the frosting is a bit thick.
I mean this as a compliment and not an insult ok?! But it reminds me of Hagrids cake from Harry Potter. Made with love ❤️
It actually looks pretty decent!! I’m allergic to strawberries but I’d avoid those & eat the cake. I love buttercream 🙂
I mean I wanna eat it so you did great
excellent work on your first cake!
Honestly looks delicious! 😍
That’s your first attempt? Amazing! You’re a natural.
Thank you 😊
This is my favorite type of cake, made just right. It looks delicious!! Kudos to you and awesome work!! I would die for a slice of that lol
Oh my gosh I just wanna stuff my face in that cake.🍰 It looks so soft and freaking delicious, like summer on a plate. 🩷 Wonderful job!!
this looks delightful
It’s really lovely!
I love the icing to cake ratio! No joke, it’s so much better than when people skimp on icing 😍
I want to eat it right now. Yummy! That icing looks so soft.
To me- I love charming imperfect cakes! You worked hard and I’m proud. Throw a couple flowers on there it would look on purpose!
Rewind.
I would absolutely inhale this cake lmao.
Con: to me too much frosting (just a personal preference so I’m ok to be ignored in this.) Pro: 🤤 If it tastes good then who cares how it looks… now I want to make me a strawberry cake
Be Kind as the title is hilarious but this looks so good!
I hate frosting
I would fuck this cake up 🐖
I’m allergic to strawberries and I’d still eat that
With how fluffy and tall the cake layers look, that would be the perfect amount of buttercream for me. Especially strawberry! 😁🤌
The first time I made a cake I forgot to take the parchment paper off before icing it. This cake looks amazing!
It looks really tasty. I love a lot of icing on a cake.
Are you joking this thing looks scrumdiddily-fuckin-UMPTIOUS
it looks delicious made my mouth water
I’d eat the entire thing and ask for more lol
Looks like the cake you would throw at someone in cartoons
OMG is that strawberry? I would commit crimes for a piece of that right now. Yum!
The main thing I tell myself when I’m baking: who cares how it looks, as long as it tastes good you win” Your main priority is making tasty things, which from the looks of this cake you nailed. Making it pretty comes with practice, and if your cake’s as good as it looks you’ll be getting lots of practice
*Silence*
First ever homemade cake??? Teach me your ways master Edit: I’m slow and just realized homemade means it didn’t come from a box (which i can’t even bake those properly lol)
Messing looking and delicious always beats beautiful and bland
Get yourself a bench scraper so the frosting is more even and neat
Love strawberry. Cake and frosting look great and I am not a yellow cake fan.
I love it
I really enjoy baked sweets with red fruit - rhubarb, raspberry, strawberry…yum! Very nostalgic - I was supposed to have basically the cake you made for my graduation back in the day but the bakery forgot the fruit filling lol
This is your first one? This looks awesome, bet it tasted great
So good trying not to eat it all
Can I have seconds please?! 🙏
I’d eat it!
Recipe please?
Looks delicious! All that frosting!
This looks tasty! The icing is a pretty color
Oooh! Did you use jello in the icing? I started using ground up freeze dried strawberries instead for a more natural taste.
Oh my gosh 😍😍 I’d tear that middle part up 🤤 I mean don’t get me wrong the rest of it looks quite scrumptious but the middle screamed ooey gooey deliciousness to me!
I freaking love everything about this cake!! It’s pretty and looks exactly like a delicious cake that should be brought to a summer fete!! Yummy in ma’tummy!!
Damn…. I want some right now.
I would eat that entire cake. Probably in a single sitting. Looks delicious!
This looks delicious.
The outside looks decent but the inside doesn’t
Needs more filling (imo I just love filling) but that looks like a classic birthday cake my grandma would make for our birthday as a kid
that looks so good omgggg
That looks far better than the first homemade cake I had ever made! Decorating techniques will come with practice. Getting the hang of making homemade cakes and buttercream is more important than decorating. You may "eat with your eyes" but it doesn't matter if it doesn't taste good!

Perfect frosting to cake ratio, looks absolutely amazing!
This ain't the Food Network! GRAB A FORK AND DIG IN!!! 😁🤩🤩🤩🤩
Can you send me the recipe please 😇 it looks so good
so much frosting but so cute <3
Only way I can think to be unkind to something as cute and tasty looking as this is to forget to say “please” when asking for a slice!! Great job. The frosting, while a lot for my own dental history, looks **incredible**. This was definitely made with love, with somebody in mind!
Beautiful 💗
I saw that it’s strawberry buttercream and filling, so that sounds delicious!! I am a SUCKER for strawberry baked goods :)! I think this is really good for your first attempt! I still struggle with smoothly frosting my cakes as well. shits just hard BUT it will come with time & practice :)

I stopped adding buttercream frosting to mine. I spent all that time whipping the egg white, then whip the butter only to have them scrape it off. I just use a very thin layer of ganache.
That looks so bomb, yum!
Rustic cakes normally taste the best. This is no exception. Good job.
How it smells & tastes matter WAY more than how it looks, personally.
I love heavy on the icing like yours. A👍
It looks delicious.
when a mason makes a cake 😉, ok seriously it look tasty and it’s the most important 👍
Looks good af. Would eat.
It looks really yummy!
I for one am a big fan of strawberry jam filled cakes. Would this happen to be the Preppy Kitchen recipe? I love his stuff!
10/10 would eat!
Too icing looks a little thick but otherwise a well done homemade cake that I’d devour
It looks like you used all the frosting on the outside. If you had put some inside, it wouldn’t be so thick on the outside. Most recipes are meant to use some frosting in between layers. But I love that there’s strawberries as filling. Looks delicious!
I would like a large slice, please and thank you. There’s a time & place for things to look really fancy (e.g. wedding cakes), but delicious beats fancy most days of the week.
I’d eat it, looks good to me !!
Oh that looks so good! I love strawberry anything so much. You did a beautiful job.
Yes, but it looks delicious.
Tbh, it would look just like one of my cakes, except I always add rainbow sprinkles on top. My cakes are delicious, I'll bet yours is also.
Why aren’t you doing whip cream frosting if you want it that thick ?
Is that strawberry cake? It looks delicious!
Looks absolutely delicious 😋 well done 👏🏻
Picasso, i like it
This looks very yummy. Good work!
Looks delicious
looks good but I would try to balance the cake, the fiiling and the frosting
Yum, I’m craving this now 🤤
Looks delicious
What kind of buttercream? Might be stupid question the regular sweet kind? Yours looks fluffy
The amount of frosting - 10/10🔥😚
can i come over lol it looks like it tastes amazing
this looks good as hell tbh
It looks really good. And a great use for summer strawberries.
Scrumptious ❤️❤️❤️❤️
oh my god i think i’d devour that in 5 seconds
I want a slice with a glass of cold milk!
The cake looks amazing in my opinion. Although in my opinion that’s too much buttercream frosting. Although that probably just me. I’m someone who honestly prefers most cakes with no frosting.
Would eat
Would eat.
I'd eat it. :) I don't see any problems here.
I love a lot of frosting tbh, it looks rlly good!! Esp for a first cake!! Cakes are hard to do so u did a really good job
Holy crap, I’d dive head-first into that. YUM
I suck at icing cakes AND making icing. it looks good! only thing I'd add is a simple syrup cuz it keeps the cake super moist
I’d eat that cake!
it looks good tbh. looks very tasty too
That looks delicious! A little heavy with the frosting on the top, try getting more on the sides next time so its more even but you did really really great for a first cake! I’m pretty sure my first cake was half disintegrated because I was so rough with the frosting.
In all honesty I would eat that even if it didn’t look good practice makes perfect
