lemon luxury layer cake

By ronnie

At this point I am baking enough of Rose’s cakes that I can’t in good conscience continue posting recipes for every one I bake. This is a four layer cake (made from two 9×2 cakes) with two layers of lemon curd and one layer of the white chocolate custard buttercream that also forms the frosting.

Between all of the components, this baby took me the large part of the day but I got to break in my new rotating cake stand and my enormous 14″ cake slicer. Assembling all of the pieces to put together a cake is the most fun part for me right now, actually eating the cake comes in a distant second. Good thing I have a willing army of cake eaters at my beck and call.

You just wait until you get the cake decorator’s bug too!

Right now I’m trying to focus on the basic things. I had to really play with the camera angles to make this cake look even. My oven isn’t very level.

That cake looks good.

I’ll have to start ignoring you soon. I have been trying really hard not to acquire that book for fear that I’ll go off on a cake baking binge too!!

Get someone else to buy it for you in exchange for cake. That’s what I did!
