“Ballerina Fairy” Cake with Classic Vanilla Buttercream
As some of you may remember, the very first recipe I ever shared on my blog was Hand Whipped Vanilla Buttercream, but after eating it by about the 10th spoonful, I figured I should probably post a cake recipe to go with it. That’s when my Classic Vanilla Cake recipe dropped for the first time, and I’m pleased to say it’s held up quite well over the years and is still my go-to for birthday occasions. As for the cake shown above, well, I can’t say it held up well in the beginning, considering one of the layers fell apart. However, thanks to the thickness of the buttercream, I was able to fix it up without any further issues . . .
Hand Whipped Vanilla Buttercream
It’s been almost one whole year since I started my food and lifestyle blog, and I figured it’s about time I dedicate some love for the food portion of it. Buttercream counts as food, right? Whatever, Karen, it’s here and you can catch me in my kitchen eating it by the spoonful. I’m going to be honest though, I had originally planned on my first recipe post to be cake, but I had so many requests for the buttercream and figured, what is cake without the frosting? . . .
