I have established lately that baking is definitely my favorite “hobby” and recently I’ve even teaching myself how to be better and make better baked goods. Tonight I’m feeling a little proud 😊 I know I make some good homemade peanut butter cookies cause that’s what everyone always asks me to bake but I’ve been working on making better cakes. This is my “mini” red velvet cake with cream cheese icing and on the inside there is also melted cream cheese icing 🤤🤤🤤 I have a long way of learning and working but I finally feel like I’m getting at least a little bit better 😊

Your mini cake looks amazing! I love baking and been practicing as well! I’m not to good at it though. This was my first attempt. I ran out of icing and didn’t feel like making more so I just put crushed graham crackers 😂. It didn’t look great but tasted amazing! My two year old then made me put candles on it and sing her happy birthday 😂. I learned after this attempt that adding more powdered sugar to my frosting makes it more stiff and easier to pipe and it makes it stay in place.

@caseyann19, thank you! I love using homemade cream cheese icing. I would like to try to do homemade chocolate icing next. I find myself baking multiple times a week recently lol. My fiancé says I’m making him fat because I just make them for fun and only want a few pieces then I’m done and he ends up eating all the rest 😂

I’ve attempted homemade cream cheese icing once a long time ago and messed it up horribly and just haven’t tried again lol and that’s so me 😂 I get in the mood to bake and play around with it then only want a piece or two 😂😂

This was the cake I made for my son's 2nd birthday. It's chocolate with milk chocolate icing and chocolate ganache drizzle and then Graham crackers on the top and bottom. I looooveee baking. Your best friend for cakes is going to be a crumb layer which is a thin first layer of ice cream on all sides and the top, and then you set it in the freezer until the icing is firm and then take it out and continue frosting as usual, it makes cakes look so tidy and the room temp icing goes on much nicer!

@caseyann19 chilling your cake really well and doing a crumb layer will definitely help lol. I don't know how I did cake decorating at all before I learned about that. I'll never skip that step again lmao and thanks! It was fun to make!

@caseyann19 lol no it's a trick I learned when I worked at a place that did cakes. A lazy Susan you can decorate cakes on makes things easier too lol. They sell them at most baking supply places.
