I made this cake for my brother's birthday, and it's one of my favorites. I used an entire small container of food coloring to make the black frosting.

Another birthday cake for my brother. I definitely applied the symbol in the correct orientation, and there definitely isn't a line of code flipping the image.

The cake is a lie.
I made a raspberry filling for the center of this cake, which was my first time using a fruit filling. It tasted good, although I made it too thick and it was quite difficult to spread.

Hexagon Cake
I wanted to make a cake with a futuristic theme, so I made a hexagon pattern and used light blue frosting to give it a "cyber" look. This is also one of my favorites, although I don't think it turned out very futuristic.

The leaf was originally supposed to be a dark red, but mixing colors turned out to be difficult.

This cake was made as a college announcement. It was my first irregularly shaped cake, which made it very difficult to frost. I cut out the cake between the top gaps in the W, but I ended up filling them back in with frosting.

My first cake using a stenciled pattern. For this cake, I just copied a pattern from online and used it as a stencil. I don't remember where I found it.

Macarons are one of the most difficult items I've attempted to bake. This one was from my second attempt, and only a few were acceptable in terms of appearance.

A New York City classic. These are true Black and Whites, not cookies fully covered with white icing with black icing on top of it.

Another New York City classic. Chocolate is the superior babka flavor, not cinnamon. If this didn't take 5 hours to make, I would bake babkas much more often.
