Marble Cake

This is attempt two of Marble Cake.

The first time round, there was too much chocolate, this time round, it's much better.

And of course, I used my favourite brand of butter this time round.

This takes about 30 minutes to prepare and 1 hour to bake. 

This costs about $15 to bake.

Recipe's adapted from Suzette Cooks.

This blog post was previously cranky so here's a repost of it (:

Rainbow Cake with Swiss Lemon Meringue Buttercream

This has been something I've been itching to bake.

Finally, my sister has decided to bake this Rainbow Cake with  Swiss Lemon Meringue Buttercream and so I helped her with it. This cake was pretty much fun as the colours made me very merry! This cake was about 4.5 inches wide but about 15cm tall! (: It took us a total of 4 hours to put this together. 

This recipe was taken and adapted from Whisk Kid.

Do check out this version of Rainbow Cake that I've revisited. This one tastes better (:
