Rolo Cake For Valentine's Day

[lijianliang.livejournal.com]

Possibly the most ridiculous thing that I've made this year so far: A Rolo cake in commemoration of Valentine's Day, dedicated to Lelouch.



It's the first time that I've ever tried to bake a cake from scratch, making a double-layered cake, and attempting to draw something with icing. Since it didn't come out burnt, nor did I destroy the icing, I think I at least did a passable job with it. ^o^

Now the real problem is, where do I start eating it from?

...Actually, I have a feeling that my dormmates are going to smash the face in before I have a chance to dig in (or attempt to preserve it forever in the freezer).







Here's hoping that I'll come up with something fancier next year.
Edit: For anyone else interested in baking a chocolate cake, here's the recipe that I used, though I only made 2/5 of the amount called for and made it a double-layered cake instead of triple-layered. For the different frosting colors, vary the amount of cocoa in the mix. For purple eyes, you may need to get food dye.
