Last week some of the pilots’ wives got together for a potluck taco dinner. The evening was full of good company, good conversation, and great food đ I love to bake so I made a festive Mexican flag cake to take along.
Nothing made from scratch this time but it still turned out great đ
Rockin’ my Air Force apron (thanks mom!) and using a power converter box for the mixer. Dulce was unimpressed by this process; notice her reflection in the cabinet đ
A layered cake cutter is essential for making flat, uniformly cut layers. I bought this at Michael’s Craft Store for less than $5 last year – it does the job.
I bought this “Mega Lifter” at a Pampered Chef party a few months ago and I LOVE it! It’s essentially a giant spatula (roughly 10″ x 10″) that is perfect for lifting and moving pizzas, cakes, large pastries, a whole tray of cookies at once, etc. It made stacking these cake layers so easy!
I didn’t bring my cake platter to Korea so my large fiesta dish served the purpose instead đ
It’s always fun to slice into a multi-colored layered cake! It tasted great too đ
