An Abundance of Cakes

Lately I have made many different cakes for many different occasions. Well actually only 3 but its still a good start right?
Anyway to start with, I was asked to make a dairy free cake and I was certainly up to the challenge. I want people to be able to enjoy what I cook even if they can't eat certain things. So I kept it simple by making a vanilla cake with a dairy free butter cream style icing. I decorated it with sprinkles and piped borders.


The second cake was for a bake-off between my friend and I, the theme was red velvet so I made a two layer red velvet cake with cream cheese filling, raspberries and chocolate and then covered in cream cheese frosting with shaved chocolate decoration. 


The last one I made was for my Nanna's birthday, it was a black forest cake. It had layers of chocolate cake with either chocolate cream filling or fresh cream and cherries. The whole thing was iced with fresh cream and decorated with chocolate shavings on the sides and fresh cherries on top.
