Angel---Food Birthday--Cake

This weekend Justin and I made a deluxe cake for our friend's birthday. At first we did not know what kind of cake to make. Once we decided upon Angel Food Cake our creativity began to soar!!

We bought two loaves of Angel Food Cake, whip cream, and STraWBERRieS!! Justin had the grand idea to slice each loaf in half to create 3 layers instead of two. The cake started out by zig-zagging chocolate on the bottom of a white porcelain plate and freezing it so it looked oh so pretty--I love plating food, I love baking.

We layered Cake, whip cream, strawberries, chocolate, then more whip cream, cake and repeat! We had so much fun layering the cake and trying to keep it standing up straight. After all the layers were complete we covered the whole cake in whip cream. Justin spent a good amount of time making the whip cream all smooth and even--it was really cute.

The bottom of the cake was lined with strawberry halves-like a ribbon on a wedding cake. We zig-zagged the top of the cake with chocolate to match the pattern on the plate. Justin then had the beautiful idea to cut the strawberries into circles and put them all around the cake like polka-dots!

We had to drive the cake to Tacoma-a 25 minute drive from us. I had to hold up a sun shield the whole time so the whip cream wouldn't melt. Personally I think the cake is really cute and the neon curly candles on the top were very cute and whimsical! The cake was as delicious at it looked. Justin and I decided we could open a bakery making pies and cakes.

Happy Birthday Jan!
