It's more Lisa Frank than Actual Physics but I'm loving it so far.
More pics to come
I bet "guess I'll fix that with buttercream" is the "we'll fix it in post" of the amateur baker
Uhhhh must be a trick of the light, or, uhh, my phone camera isn't great....
Ok so. The recipe I was using was like "here's one weird trick! To get rid of the yellow from the butter in the frosting, add a dot of blue food coloring!" and I guess I don't understand what a dot is because now it looks like mint toothpaste. Or that tip is bullshit, hard to say!
Anyway there's not a lot I can do about it except throw out the batch and I'm not willing to do that (there is OVER A KILO EACH of butter and sugar in it) so, now it was always meant to be like that.
But I'm finished, I think.
The funny thing is, it's just.... Ok? It's sweet without a lot of flavor, because it's white velvet and buttercream. But making it was never about making a good cake, it was about hitting a visual and I came close! But definitely the highest effort cake I've ever made.
If the sky were green. Honestly what I should have done is put MORE blue food coloring in the frosting, I realized, and call it sky blue
