KillerPix Contest #4 - The Birthday Cake
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 😂😂😂😂
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 know😂😂😂😂
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 teeth😂😂😂😂
My two kids who love sweets like holy nuts, didn't even want it, asked me to scrap the frosting 😂😂😂😂
And yet, there my husband's brother, enjoying his cake like no one was around him, he finished his BIG slice 😂😂😂😂
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 😅

Thank you
That's a really cute cake! I bet the rest of it was tasty. HAHA! I'd probably be right there with him... nothing has ever been "too sweet" for me. BUT I am with you - I'm also a total cake snob too, and make everything from scratch. Last time I tried using something from the store to enhance my frosting, I just ended up hating its really "fake" flavor. Ick.
You know, am a bit weird, I don't mind grocery store cakes with cream, although I know their buttercream is mostly shortening and blah, but I don't mind (some) of those cakes 😂😂😂 but canned frosting I used for this cake was wow, super hurting for the teeth, super sweet, and I didn't even add additional icing sugar 🙄 and yes, the flavor wasn't there, the smell was there a little 😅
Thanks ms @offbeatbroad !
Looks amazing!
Thanks @blackberryskunk !
