friend of mine turned 30 so I baked her a coffin cake! I’ve been really into making these vintage cakes lately. relying on skills I learned in my freshman culinary class from 15 years ago lmao
in 2020, i decided i ::needed:: to learn how to make and frost a layer cake at home. i ordered the piping tools and cake spinner, watched YouTube videos, practiced my technique to get the perfect crumb and frosting texture. fast forward to when we could finally safely gather in person, cooking and baking just felt better when i did it for others. especially making special birthday cakes, like this one here—chocolate cake with brown butter frosting and naturally dyed sprinkles.
