Without much thinking, I went on to get all the ingredients and started baking with highly anticipated good results. The pictures posted on the blog was soooo attractive they gave me an illusion that I was able to come up with something similar, if not as good as the original. But I was so, so wrong. I forgot it's just the 2nd recipe I'm trying, and I thought too highly of myself.
The cakes were too heavy and the frostings way toooooo sweet. Guess I under-beatened it, hence they didn't fluff up as they were supposed to. Too oily and the cakes smell of rotten eggs? Haa! I was too hastened to finish baking and didn't care whether I spent enough time creaming the butter or not. Good and bad. I reckoned this is how you learn when you don't go for bakery classes. You learn from mistakes and critiques. Though it didn't feel good at all to fail, but I really learned.
Otherwise, they still looked okay..
