2010 vs. 2011

Last year, Sara and I attempted a multi-tier cake as a New Year's Eve project. It was interesting....

Our only real disaster was what is now affectionately referred to as the "doughnut cake."


We fixed it by stuffing the gooey hole with a very large cupcake:


On the whole, our made-from-a-mix Funfetti multi-tier cake turned out reasonably well considering our somewhat disorganized planning, our relative inexperience in cake-making, and our severe lack of proper pans. It was a little lopsided.



This year, I'd say we've made some improvement. We made this cake from scratch, including no less than 8.25 sticks of butter. No joke. Talk about an artery-clogger!


...And there are only 6 sticks in this picture. Butter never killed anyone....right....?

Anyway. We were a little skeptical at first, because it looked like a cow pie.


But in the end, it turned out looking (and tasting!) very nice.



Happy 2011!
