This is Patience our talented daughter-in-law who lives in Chicago. She has begun baking cakes for friends and relatives. She has taken classes and spends a lot of time researching recipes that would be a perfect fit for each client. She gave me a couple of good baking blogs to check out like: lickthebowlgood.blogspot.com.
I took this in her kitchen as I watched her create a 4 layer, rich chocolate cake with a very vanilla flavored butter cream, coconut filling. The top was the same frosting without the coconut. The outer sides were coated in toasted coconut to give it a real fall look. This particular cake was for a very good friend's birthday. She put little fall leaves on it too. How did it the frosting taste so good? Vanilla beans! Real beans~no liquid stuff.
I did not get to eat this cake, but I did lick the bowl of the remaining frosting. She had a bit of leftover cake mix and baked them into whoopee pies and added some of the frosting. OMG! It was one of the most amazing desserts I have tasted. If you would like to know more about her and the things she has designed, check out her blog at: battersplatterandbake.blogspot.com.
Want to know the best news? I got the recipe!! Now we just need an occasion, but don't expect the 4 layers. Sorry, I am not that talented.
