Some things, my friends, never go out of style.
Fluffy yellow cake, foolproof chocolate frosting. Classics need not be fancy.

About Me
- Cortney
- My name is Cortney Hall, and I bake cakes (hence the clever title). What began as a hobby has now become somewhat of an obsession, if not a full-blown way of life! Good thing my family and friends all have a sweet tooth... I started this blog as a way to display my cakes and let my friends keep up with what I'm creating each day. I hope you all enjoy these Cortney Cakes, and if *you* ever need a cake, now you know where to find me!
Yes, but how do you get a chocolate iced cake so neatly onto a white cake platter?
ReplyDeletethat looks sooooo yummy! Oh my gosh I want to stick my finger in that icing!
ReplyDeleteElise--easiest trick in the world! Put your cake on the platter you'll be serving it from, and cut a bunch of strips of wax paper. Tuck them all around the edges of the cake, making a sort of protective collar, and frost the whole thing. When you're done, pull the strips away carefully, and you'll have a perfectly iced cake and a spotless white platter. Apartment Therapy has a good illustration of this:
