Wanna see a delicious looking cake!

My late sister gave me a huge cake decorating set of things many years ago.  I tried using some of them and I was really terrible at it.  I should dig them out now that I'm retired and give them another try.  I can just see Brian watching over me as I try -- heck, maybe he'd be better at it than I was.  

I've been trying to get into baking more lately and hope to buy one of those Kitchen Aid mixers closer to Christmas if I see a good sale.  I also have to check out the price at the PX as Brian has privileges there.  Sometimes I see a recipe I'd like to make but it almost "requires" one of those mixers to really make it easier to make.

That's what it cost me to professionally remove the tongue marks from my computer screen because you posted that pic!  Pay up!

LOL

That cake looks Delicious!  Would your daughter, by any chance, share her recipe (especially for the filling)?  It looks like it is firm enough to hold up the cake.....mine usually just ooze out the edges from the weight of the top layer.

Please tell your daughter she is more than welcome to share her food pics with us here ~ we love to see beautiful foods no matter what anyone makes.

Beth, being a member of this forum, I see is gonna be a bit pricy!   

Beth, after I read what you posted, I almost spit my beverage all over my screen and key board.

And like I said, we LOVE to see what others are making.  Of course, we steal any great ideas and claim them as our own.....but isn't that what the internet is for?  (I'm thinking of the fun stuff I see on sites like Pinterest ~ crazy - creative people posting some of the neatest stuff)

My mixer has a glass bowl which I hate because I am afraid I will break it so I bought a metal one. I use the glass bowl only as a display with the mixer. I have many of the attachments but some are not so good. The juicer works great when you have a large quantity of fruit to juice. I use it after a raid on my BIL's lemon tree and I freeze the juice. I don't like the slicer/grater. I prefer my salad shooter. The meat grinder is good. I wouldn't buy the pasta rollers again. Not that they didn't make great pasta but the rollers were ceramic and cracked after a year. I didn't notice until after the warranty was up. I know they no longer have ceramic rollers but from what I have read, the quality is iffy. I grabbed the spiralizer/apple peeler one day when it was marked incorrectly. It really works well. I had 5 pounds of apples, peeled, cored and sliced in less than 5 minutes.
