unmissablevivi

how much work is too much work for a friend’s birthday? asking for myself 🫠 this cake took four days — the base is sally’s baking addiction’s best vanilla cake ever with a few drops of lavender extract, layered with a simple lemon curd from allrecipes, and finished with sally’s buttercream from the same recipe. i dyed it with food coloring and mixed in lemon essence to give the frosting a bright, citrusy kick. i called it excalibur, because it looked like a sword rising out of a mossy rock — and honestly, after four days, it kind of felt like pulling one out too. but it was worth it. everyone said it was the best cake they’ve ever had 🍋🌹✨ #layercake #bakingtok #birthdaycake #lemoncurd #medieval
