My Threadcakes Cake Contest Entry

I decided at the last minute to enter into the 2010 Threadcakes Cake Contest.  My entry didn’t turn out as 100% as I had hoped, but I am happy that I got in done in such short notice:

As for the decoration, I was too rushed and should have set let my hand set up before slapping it on the cake (pun intended 😉 ).  I shoulda known better! 😛

It was a good learning curve and I look forward to next time where I’ll plan further ahead for such a project.

I’m happy it tasted great in the end – delicious moist buttermilk cake with raspberry filling. I was very grateful to cut into it and have a slice after  a busy weekend.
