Thanks Rhea! I wish i could put more effort into the cakes i make for my family, but it honestly doesnt work. Always rushing up a cake for them.

Well they both look fantastic especially the inside of the red velvet cake. Where do you get your recipes?

I recreated my own recipe a while back & stuck to it ever since. You may be adding too much flour which makes it bery doughy?

wow I love layer cakes! The birdcage looks pretty tall. Do you bake one tall cake and cut them into layers or do you always bake your cake layers in a few pans?

Thanks Penny, the birdcage cake is actually a mini cake however you're right quite tall! You can either bake in a deep pan and cut layers or bake each layer separately. They both have their ups and downs. I personally bake separate pans making sure each pan/cake gives me two layers. So for a 6 layered cake ill use 3 pans and then cut the cakes in half and stack them. Yes getting a deeper pan and cutting them into more layers is easier and you have less washing to do...but deeper pan means longer time for the center to cook therefore you are left with a dry outer edge and a moist center!
