It's my party, and I'll bake if I want to

Okay, so I didn't have a party with the cake I baked but there was a get-together. Okay, so I wasn't at the get-together either, I was infact at work. Oh surprise, surprise! I gave the cake to my husband and told him specifically "PLEASE, take it away. Give it to your friends. Otherwise I will sit here and eat it all." Truth be told, I definitely would of.



On friday, I was just going to bake the cake off, and then frost it on Easter Sunday as our dessert but once the cake was baked, it seemed pointless to stick it in the freezer till Sunday. I was already half way there, I might as well finish it off. My version of the cake was an addition of poppyseeds and pomegranite juice. I tasted the pomegranite juice before adding it to the cake batter. Emm...not very tasty. More so, it dried my mouth out. ICK! It didn't add much flavor to the cake batter itself, so I thought:
POMEGRANITE SIMPLE SYRUP! Oh boy was it better when the cake was soaked with the pomegranite syrup.
Instead of a round cake, I decided on making a sheet cake. We always make 9-in cakes at school and it was just getting a little boring to say the least.

Starting the buttercream process above with the sugar and below with the melted chocolate. Go, go power mixer!
*drum roll please.......* I smothered the bottom layer with buttercream also. Brandon doesn't like fruit fillings/spreads etc so I just used the chocolate buttercream between the layers too. I had so much of it, why put it to waste.
One dumb thing I did was use the whisk to beat the buttercream. Please, don't ask me why. I should've known better. It didn't make the buttercream creamy but had little teeny butter chunks in it. Gross!

None the less, it turned out pretty I think. The pomegranite was overpowered by the chocolate buttercream, so perhaps next time I will stick to a lighter frosting, perhaps even fondant.

And so, this brings me to the recipe for Dories Perfect Party Cake hosted by Morven.
