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.

AWESOME CAKE! 8DD
So cute :3 I would totally eat that cake >3

[lijianliang.livejournal.com]

Yes, I spent an entire morning making the cake, so I was famished by the time I finished and I started eating it...from the top. XD

My dormmates found it disconcerting and stabbed out the eyes and mouth. D:

[lijianliang.livejournal.com]

Thanks~ ^o^

[lijianliang.livejournal.com]

It wasn't too hard; I've posted a link to the recipe that I used for the cake in the topic post. You can take a stab at it and see how it goes. ^^

[lijianliang.livejournal.com]

Unfortunately, no. It was just a basic cake. ^^;;

[lijianliang.livejournal.com]

A what?

[lijianliang.livejournal.com]

Hahah, sure, I can do that (though I doubt it'd survive shipping...).
I originally wanted to make the cake in the image of Lelouch, but since his face is so angular, I realized I couldn't sculpt the cake like that, so I went with the rounder Rolo. XD

[xtine06.livejournal.com]

wow. i wonder how it feels to eat a cake with rollo's face. waa..^__________^ i think the cake would taste 200 times better :)
