This is a special cake that i made for my dear daddy who turned 64 on the 24th of April. I used royal icing to make the balloons and the number 64. I made a 7 inch.... 4 layer chocolate cake and butter cake with buttercream frosting. Initial i wanted to use the Wilton buttercream to get that smooth surface but with lesser sugar added. Unfortunately i was unable to get the buttercream to crust and so i decided to use a normal buttercream recipe instead. Well not everybody liked the cake... they all preferred something light featherly and fluffier like that sponge cake and whipped cream.... sadly i have yet found the right recipe for sponge cake as the ones that i have it's always either too dry or tasteless and hard. But at least my two cutey pie twin boys love the cake ......well only the chocolate cake layer.
