Engagement cake!

Recently, my brother and his girlfriend got engaged which was a perfect excuse to have a big celebration party. Inevitably there was a lot of planning to be done and as always I offered to make a cake. I thought after my Formula One cake I made for my brother and dad's birthday I'd try something simple. So after a look on Google and Pintrest for ideas I chose a design. The cake was a two tiered Victoria sponge, decorated with white roll out icing and white textured icing hearts and stars (you can't beat a good ol' victoria sponge ay! :D).
 I then bought two ribbons from a local cake decorating shop, put their names on the base and printed a silhouette of a couple (unfortunately I couldn't get an edible one in time).
 Although there were a a few glitches and disasters along the way I feel that it turned out quite nicely in the end, and the happy couple were defiantly happy with it along with the rest of the party.

For this recipe I used the same recipe that I have previously posted on cupcake posts however, with 250g of butter, sugar, flour and eggs (5 eggs) for the bottom cakes and 150g of each for the top cakes.
I really enjoyed trying out a new cake design and hope this has inspired you to have a go and challenge your baking skills.

Happy baking :P
