Smooth Buttercream Tutorial with Recipe

Just simply 'hello'...................
I’ve been wanting to blog for a while. Cakes are my passion or my ‘cake porn’ as the other half would say. I’m working on some cakes I’ve done before this week. One for an engagement, the other a cake topper. The sun is shining outside but I don’t care. I’m off to mould something simple into something beautiful – HOPEFULLY!x

I need a Banana Cherry Cake Recipe!!!
Hi, bakers, if anyone has a cherry/banana cake recipe that you’d like to share, PLEASE, post it – you’ll be helping me out of a jam (no pun intended). I just got an order for a Mother’s Day cake and the client wants a white cake with a cherry-banana filling. I’ve never done this combination – but I would think that a cherry filling is quite sweet and maybe a chocolate cake might be better… but since I’m not sure, I will welcome your recipes!...
