So this week I made my first red velvet cake. I had a cream cheese filling inside and topped the cake with a thin blue fondant. I decorated the cake with snowflakes all around with homemade royal icing.  I think that I’m going to tinker a little bit with the red velvet cake recipe to make it a little more sturdy for stacking tiers. Otherwise I think the cake came out wonderful and looked great.

So at the last minute I was requested to make a camouflage cake for a girl who is going away to join the US Army. While i wasn’t too keen on the short amount of time that i got to make the cake, who am I to turn down a paying customer? So I was asked to make an camouflage cake they didn’t cake what flavors it was and they even asked for a dozen cupcake pops (with the army colors).

So I wound up making a chocolate cake with vanilla frosting and decided to one up their request. I figured instead of just a regular circle cake with camouflage on it, I made the cake look like an actual army helmet.

So from what I heard they all loved the cake and the cupcake pops. I’m really happy and I had a blast making this cake. I think it came out really really well.
