Christmas Celebration Cake #2

My final Christmas project in 2015. Pardon me of the incomplete step by step photos, it wasn't easy to do two things in one go, hope you all enjoy to read this post... :) 

Butter cake recipe adapted from the domestic goddess wannabe .

This recipe is enough to bake three layers of 6 inches cake.

Sugar syrup (1/4 cup sugar: 1/4 cup hot water) each cake.
Then, fill each layer with rose scent buttercream, crumb coat along the sides and top of the cake. 

Let it chilled in the fridge for about 30 minutes. 

Then, tinted 1/3 of the remaining buttercream with pastel green color, filled them in a piping bag. 

Working from top to bottom, add "stripes" around your cake.
Repeat the previous step for your remaining buttercream.
Using a turntable and a bench scrapper, smooth out the final coat of your icing.

On top of the cake, sprinkle some biscuit crumbs (any kind of your favorite) and desiccated coconut to create a lightly snowy land effect.

Final touch are inserting these three adorable Christmas tree sugar cookies on top, and one on the side with a gingerbread man as accompany... Hi Hi... Cookies recipe you may click over here .

Bundt Cake

今日之烘焙是为了清货。哈哈。要过期了才愿意去开炉。另一个原因也是因为想练习用bundt mould。第一次用它的时候，脱模失败，当下真的是心如刀割。所谓失败乃成功之母，这一次脱模顺利完成，完全是成功！

ＹｉＰｉｉ(☆_☆)

使用ｃａｋｅ mixture，担心蛋糕烘好会偏干，所以食谱里其中的两个鸡蛋用了分蛋technique。

巧克力就单纯把它融化，drizzle在中间里，but texture吃起来有点怪怪的，就好像吃着柔软的蛋糕，突然吃到硬的东西在里头。所以我建议把巧克力mix在1/3的batter里，做成marble蛋糕会比较好吃。
