Homemade Cookie Monster Cake
I've been so busy this past few days with work and everything. I didn't have a lot of time to write something on Steemit or even just to check my feed. I actually cooked and baked quite a lot recently and been wanting to share with you the recipes but I felt too tired to sit in front of the computer and start writing. Life is hard! :-D
Today, I said to myself that I have to get my Steemit routine back. I've been taking a lot of pictures of food and did some experiments so I have to share them with you, right? Even though my food photography isn't exceptional :-D
My last creation was this Cookie Monster Cake. This cake consisted of 2 layers of chocolate cake, dark chocolate ganache filling and vanilla Swiss meringue buttercream frosting. I also used sugar paste for making the eyes. This cake was requested by the kid who I am taking care of for his birthday celebration. He specifically asked for this cake, the same cake that I offered him last year for his birthday as well.
If you want to make the same cake and want to know the recipes, please check the links below:

You will have some buttercream left with this recipe. - Salted Caramel Chocolate Chip Cookies

I even made the cookie by myself even though I only used half of one cookie. The rest was devoured by me and my partner :-D
The mother of the kid told me that everyone liked it, especially the birthday boy. Some parents even asked her for my contact. I am so happy! The mother said I should have had my business card so she can distributed it to her friends. Well, I've been thinking about that and I do hope that one day I can open my own cake shop. One day, hopefully :-)
Thank you everyone for reading. I'll see you next time :-)

This cake looks seriously delightfully! Wish you luck with your beautiful dream :)
Thanks for your support @babettxx! :-)
Hi my dear! Am so happy to see you coming back with amazing chocolate cake, really looks so yummy, and the decoration so beautiful.
Thanks my dear! I'm glad to be back here and happy that you find this cake beautiful :-)
Love this cake! It is so cute!
It is indeed cute. Thanks @chefsteve :-)
This is it, Putri ... the start of your baking business! The parents, friends of the parents, your friends and family ... They see your work then will order from you. Congratulations! Very nice work. So cute and I love the tongue sticking out to give your cake some dimension. And I love that despite it all, it’s very simple! Simplicity and minimalism work for me.
I know ... life gets in the way. It gets soooooo busy! Well, looking forward to the rest of the other stuff you made.
Haha.. yes, it's a nice way of marketing :-) This cake was simple yet cute. That's what I opted because I wasn't really in the mood for baking at that time and glad that it finally turned out fine.
Yeah, life gets in the way. Got so busy recently and I'm dreaming of some vacation :-D
So delicious!
Thanks to @ecoinstant, this post was resteemed and highlighted in today's edition of The Daily Sneak.
Thank you for your efforts to create quality content!
Thank you @sneakyninja and @ecoinstant for featuring and retseeming my post! Much appreciated :-)
You're welcome!
Oohhhhh, no wonder I was missing your posts... Suddenly I realised I got to go check on your food pages - looking forward to when you can be back for longer term soon!
And as usual this looks wonderful and probably taste gorgeous too... I can almost taste that chocolate... almost! 😋 All the best, see you soon... Cheers!! 😊🌼
Ohhhh, I wish you'll have your wish one day... And when/if I visit Brussels one day, I shall drop by your shop! :) I love the top of the cookie monster - looks like a shaggy rug - lol! Saw a peep from you today, been missing you... Guess real life has to take over sometimes... Look forward to seeing you back here on steemit soon!! Cheers!!! 😊
Hi @ackhoo! How are you doing? Glad to read your message. Been trying to come back but I'm really not in the mood to write a blog although I'm still busy with cooking and capturing the pictures of the food I made. If one day you visit Brussels, please do let me know! I'd be happy yo make you this cake. Best :-)
Awww... you're too kind...!
Don't write a blog then! :) You have too many fans and friends who will support you... The best thing about steemit is - you can do whatever you want to do. Whether a blog, or just pictures or basically whatever you want to do... I think it's even better - be it a long post, or make it short if you don't want to spend too much time... ;) Look forward to seeing you here soonest! Cheers!!💕💕
