From Julie Richardson's Vintage Cakes
The Pink Cake (on cover)
Currently Baking From:
The cake itself was quick and easy
Below: after the original buttercream frosting did not behave,
made a boiled-milk frosting.....

which turned out worse than the buttercream frosting of mine  ;(
Above: curdled texture

 BELOW: my dream of a pink cake in cupcake form 
 but
in
reality
was
this

but the raspberry flavored buttercream tasted great 
but too liquidty to spread or pipe
but it was a beautiful pink color (all natural)
but the chocolate cake was yummy

Your chocolate cake looks good! And a good idea to make them into parfait, I would love it too!

You are so creative I love how you fixed up that parfait for your dh! Like you've mentioned before "it's ok if you can eat it with a spoon" your cupcake still looked cute... Love the pink of your frosting! YUM! :) YAY! I am so happy you linked up!

Sorry that your frosting didn't work out as well as you had hoped. The cake looks good and the parfait is a great idea.

The icing for me didn't work out it either, it was a complete disaster. Great job though with the finished cupcakes, I bet they tasted lovely.
