I have a ton of photos sitting on my computer, but only a tiny fraction of them ever make it onto the Intarwebs. Most of them are photos of food. Cake is just so photographic.
This was the birthday cake I made for our Secret Santa get together (there are so many birthday's at the end of November). Because it was a festive holiday get together, I made a red velvet cake. I made a cream cheese frosting, which was a little too soft for piping. I tried anyway.
For decoration, I colored some melted white chocolate and put it in my silicone rose mold. I used the rest of the bar to make white chocolate curls.
However, I am most proud of my sanding sugar decoration. I took wax paper and folded it. I then cut it into a snowflake shape and lightly placed it on the surface of the frosting. I then added the red sanding sugar in the gaps. I then used some of the remaining cream cheese frosting to pipe around the sanding sugar to frame the design.
It was very tasty.
I could easily eat another.
