Would love to enter this cake that I made for my husband's little brother to #killerpix contest.
I literally KILLED everyone's teeth with this cake, like seriously ππππ
I am a bit of a cake-snob, I don't use ready-to-use frosting, because I loved butter and those frosting definitely don't have butter in them, but I just won a basket of pastry hamper and two of the prizes inside the basket were ready-to-use frosting.
So when it was my husband's brother's birthday, I thought it was a great opportunity to use them, otherwise when else should I use the canned frosting.
They were the known American brand, supposedly good, you knowππππ
Cake was looking pretty, decorations were yummy, I made the Parisian macaron (green cookies) and the chocolate blocks (with Thousands and Hundreds sprinkles), while the rest was store-bought. Perfect cake IMO
That until we cut the cake and started eating our slices.
Too bloody sweet!
Literally hurt the teethππππ
My two kids who love sweets like holy nuts, didn't even want it, asked me to scrap the frosting ππππ
And yet, there my husband's brother, enjoying his cake like no one was around him, he finished his BIG slice ππππ
Thank goodness for that!
Most likely my immediate family is used to my homemade buttercream, which isn't overly sweet, and I never used store-bought frosting before, so we aren't used to it π
