I need to work on the smoothness of my frosting application, but I like the basic design of this one. Made this cake for a dinner party (with [livejournal.com profile] aberwyn, [livejournal.com profile] kateelliot, and [livejournal.com profile] sfmarty, among others) which was utterly swell.

At the same time that I'm playing with frosting, I've been trying to come up with the right yellow-cake recipe. My family, bless their pointy heads, likes Duncan Hines, but for state occasions I want to be able to make a good yellow cake from scratch. Last night's was pretty successful. Now if I can get the damned frosting to lie down and be smooth, I'll be getting somewhere.

But you knew that. But I was told last night that putting video up on YouTube was so easy even I could do it, so here is a brief video of The Moldavian Leaping Hound in action.



Did it work?
