In May I pledged to #Bakebrave and join World Baking Day 2013.
The idea is to bake out of your comfort zone. On the website they listed different baking challenges from 1 to 100. Challenge Level 1 was Banana Muffins and Challenge 100 was a Cake Boss style creation. I was pretty confident I could hit the 60 mark.
MrB was excited when he found out I would be baking an awesome cake. To reward his enthusiasm I let him decided which cake he wants me to bake. MrB definitely took me out of my comfort zone by picking number 78.
This 6 layer creation with various levels of icings and sauce and decoration was a lot bigger than I thought I was ready for.
In the end I did it. I baked and baked and mixed and created. We invited a few friends over to help us finish this gigantic cake! Despite the friends best efforts there was enough cake left over for me to take to the office the next day and for MrB to take two slices to work.
This was delicious and I would bake this again but on a smaller scale. The cake is just a bit rich in it's 6 layer decadence. The salty popcorn was the best though!
I am not sharing the entire recipe as it will take me all day to type. Have a look at the recipe here
