Topsy Turvy Zebra Cake

This is a cake of firsts. My first time doing zebra stripes as well as the topsy turvy aspect.

As with every cake , I learned alot. I will definitely exaggerate the angles more next time. In comparison to a level cake they appeared quite slanted until I had them stacked. Overall today in my cake world, I'm feeling pretty pleased.

Pumpkin Cookies and Cats

Guess what ? Cats love royal icing.

Vanilla Butter Cake - Fine Cooking Recipes, Techniques and Tips

This my go-to recipe with the addition of 1/2 vanilla bean seeds mixed into batter, then use the remaining pod to make a simple syrup which I use on the layers before filling and frosting.
