Here we have the Birthday Sheet Cake, which I made in honor of my fiance's birthday. We decorated it together. As you can see, we're just about ready to start our own bakery specializing in cake decorating...not.
I admit I was a little disappointed with the frosting. The cake itself is amazing--it's a buttery and rich white cake with, you guessed it, lemon zest. But I'm a little tired of all the lemon zest so I used orange zest instead and I'm glad I did. The cake is moist and yummy. It ALMOST overflowed the pan while it was in the oven but in the end it was fine.
The frosting, like I mentioned, was not my favorite. It's just semi-sweet chocolate chips, some cream, and a little butter and vanilla. I'm not a huge fan of chocolate and this was just a little too semi-sweet. Plus, it never came to the right consistency so it was like pouring fondue over the cake. Actually, that sounds delicious. Maybe it's just that I don't love chocolate. I've been scraping it off the top of my pieces of cake and leaving just a hint, which is enough for me.
