My mom's birthday was over the summer. I planned on making her a big cake with icings I’d never made before. So I made a practice cake. It is homemade white cake (not the same cake as her official b-day cake) with vanilla buttercream icing. I imbibed the bottom layer of the cake with black raspberry liquor. Between the imbibed layer and the plain layer is a semi-sweet chocolate ganache. I had left over ganache so I used it to make the dots on the top of the cake.
Hi, I'm Chef Mercedes. I'm a graduate of the French Culinary Institute/International Culinary Center's classic pastry arts program. Currently I do not work in the food industry so I use this blog to share my love of eating and passion for baking with the world. I hope you’ll enjoy what I have to share about baking and that I’ll inspire you to bake as well.
