Coloring Cakes...

I decided to bake earlier today and because it was rainy and cold out, I did not want to go out to get the ingredients that I would need... so I went ahead and used what we currently have in the kitchen.

Normally, I would bake some chocolate related cake LOL but with what I have, I had to go by the simple white cake. But somewhere in the pantry, I saw my sister had this neon food colorings and I thought... hey... for the heck of it, why not?!!!

It was in four colors - Turquoise, Pink, Purple and Lime Green... So I separated the batter into 4 for each one.



The funny thing is, after I mixed all that, I realized that I don't have enough bake pans (I left mine at my mom's house) and there's no way I have the time to bake one or two at a time... So I used ramekins for time's sake and that one heart shaped pan for the extra mixture...


So while the cake was in the oven, I searched online for some icing recipe. I tried one out and my goodness... it was way too sweet for me... so not going to work so I trashed it! Then I ran out of shortening and butter hahahaha... so forget about the icing.

When the cake was done and ready for cooling... I went ahead and cleaned after my mess. And just as I turned around and was gonna take a picture of how the cake looked... Noel freaking took a huge bite on it! LOL!!!! He thought I had already taken the picture because I was already cleaning up! Welp... you gotta work with what you got and do what you gotta do! LOL


Anyhoo, I guess that bite added some character into it LOL!!!! And as for the heart shaped pan... I just had all the colors mixed together and here's the outcome...


So that's one of the fun things you can do with cakes and sure did put a smile on my daughter's face. Hope you guys have/had a reason to smile today... Till I blog again!

Why I love Valentine's Day...

I love it when it is almost Valentine's day and it's not because of love and romance LOL! Truth is... I'm a sucker for heart shapes! I love cute stuffs! And as V day gets closer... you'll see so many heart shaped displays or stuffs on sale! Gotta love it!

Anyway, the other day when I was at Walmart, I saw these bake pans!!! And I thought, how cute are these? Although I am not a huge cake eater at all... I love to bake! Baking is my thing so how could I pass this up?! It is only $9.00 usd!!! And so it is now into my possession LOL!


And today, while Nyomi was behaving... I decided to make my triple chocolate cake and hazelnut frosting using them pans...


And just as I was about to decorate the cake... Yes! My darling child decides to drive me crazy and wants my solid attention. So I skipped the whole frosting process and piping the cake was rushed... LOL! So yeah... Just look at it hahahaha... epic fail!


Oh well... it was yummy despite how it looked! And that's my Highlight for today! How about you? How was your Sunday? Hope you all have/had a great day! Till I blog again :)
