My boyfriend's cousin celebrated her birthday this week. I baked a cake for her. I love baking, everyone knows that! She gave me a bit of a challenge wanting a strawberry cake with strawberry frosting. I made both from scratch. My first ever attempt at strawberry cake from scratch. I have made strawberry cake from a mix many years ago. But obviously I'm much more into cooking and baking nowadays so making it from a box wasn't an option. The only critical point I have was the frosting. It tasted yummy but got a little melted as it sat out. It was cream cheese based frosting but it should be able to stay out for a little while without melting too much. However, I do know that is a common problem with cream cheese based frostings, they melt some. So if I ever make strawberry cream cheese frosting again I might have to tweak it a bit to figure out how to get the frosting to not melt so quickly. As for the decorating, I dyed fondant then cut and molded it into the shapes I wanted. All in all I think the cake turned out well! It tasted yummy! That's the most important! Below is a pic of the cake.
