It seemed like everuthing that could have gone wrong went wrong. The unicorn’s tail broke off this morning, the cake is lopsided, the colors look atrocious, and I couldn’t frost the cake neatly

The only thing I have going is that the funfetti is actually really good and it sorta looks silly/charming?

Am I overthinking this?

Whyyyyy? How? Does it make the cookies for me? I would love recommendations for your favorite sets. I’ve never had one that didn’t stick or get stuck but I hate shaping by hand.

Pretty proud of this attempt. I'm a hobby baker and always wanted to make this design for my dad. Been fighting tremors and the heat all moring and the piping bag popped on me, but it doesn't look half bad. Also, nothing on this cake is chocolate and everything is coloured brown. Vanilla and passionfruit are my dad's favourite flavours and he adores gummies. He directly stole a worm when he saw it 😂

I used Sally’s red velvet cake recipe (my personal fave) and made my own cream cheese frosting (just eyeballed it) with more powdered sugar for stability.

Made for my friend’s birthday celebration!

The letters and bees were made using silicone molds. I used yellow candy melts. For the gold and the pearlescent wings I painted with vodka + luster dust (gold and pearl white colors). For the black on the bees I used melted cocoa butter and chocolate food coloring. The legs and antenna were piped on!

Recipe is from Sally’s baking addiction (I would probably double the icing recipe)

Ube cake with cream cheese frosting

I frankensteined a few recipes together for this, I've recently fallen in love with doctored-up box mixes so I used this vanilla box cake cupcake recipe (no modifications, just baked it longer in cake pans) + this lemon blueberry cake tutorial/recipe for frosting etc.

Decorations are just blueberries, tiny lemon slices, and basil leaves from our garden.

We made the Practical Peculiarities (recipe on youtube) imagining of the cake from Matilda.

It is ugly, but moist and rich. The recipe was easy to follow and didn't require dragging out a mixer. Everything came together with a whisk. It was supposed to be 4 layers (2 thicker 9 inch cakes split) but our cake pans weren't tall enough so we used 3 shallower ones and didn't split them. The cake is so heavy! I almost dropped it multiple times.

I realize it’s not perfect. But it’s my first cake ever!

Made it for my step-kiddos birthday. He’s into legos AND has been really into the idea of doing mountain rescue lately. So I got him a little rescue Lego man and then had him helping out a precariously positioned construction dude.

Tips are welcome!

Two of my favorite things in one 🥰 my birthday treat to myself!

I think I understood the assignment :)

Triple chocolate, entremet cake with milk, dark, white with a brownie base, feuillatine crunch layer & milk chocolate ganache curls & drip! 😊😋

Made from dessert person by Claire saffitz. Big hit! Would put fewer blackberries next time. YouTube link in comments

I found these caramel Hershey bars in the clearance section and thought, those would be so good in brownies. I was correct, these are so good!

I don’t eat eggs, eggless brownies are hard. This has been my go to brownie recipe. I just switch up the additions. I didn’t use Oreos, but added the chopped up bars. I also doubled the recipe because I share and I need a bigger batch to do so

Chocolate Joconde imprimé mousse cake with chocolate, raspberry and caramel mousse, topped with a raspberry gelee

My mum has been baking for pretty much all her life (definitely over 45 years), and we’ve been enjoying watching various bake off shows for the last few months. She’s always made incredible desserts, but we thought the next step for her baking was more “show stopper” looking desserts, so instead of a typical birthday cake we would’ve made, she tried her hand at a mousse cake!

It was absolutely delicious, a few tweaks for if we do it again but it tasted wonderful. Pretty much just a mash up of a few different recipes she found online, and she combined them into this. There are some impressive bakes here so hopefully this is welcome :)

I have two kids with birthdays in the same week so instead of buying 2 small cakes I figured I'd make them.
