Made this cake for a lady whom I’ve known since I was a teenager. She turned 88 years old today. Surprised her with this cake when a group of ladies from my prayer group went to visit her.
I tried something new. A cake mix from Duff (The Ace of Cakes) It’s called “purple rain”. It’s a white cake, then you color half the batter purple. Put the purple batter on the bottom of each pan then circle the white batter on top of the purple, leaving spaces between each white circle so the purple will show through. When baked it turns out with purple stripes. Mine didn’t turn out as nice as the picture on the box, but I’m told it was delicious. Frosted in buttercream with gum-paste flowers and decorations.
