Happy 27th Anniversary to my wonderful parents! (Yes, my parents got married on Cinco de Mayo!).
It seems like every post this week has started with “Happy ___!” And I’m sure many of you were expecting me to say “Happy Cinco de Mayo!” today. BUT… today is my parents’ anniversary and that always rules over Cinco de Mayo :). With this, I have dedicated this post and this cake to my parents!
I love white. It reflects a fresh, clean, and pure feeling. I know some people think that white feels sterile and unhappy, but to me, it’s just the opposite. White brings happiness.
I have been wanting to make an all white cake for a long time. White cake – white chocolate filling – white fondant. Yum – Yum – Yum! So when I was thinking of a cake to make for my parents anniversary, this was the perfect option!
This cake was probably one of the best that I made! The simple vanilla cake is a classic that can’t go wrong. And the white chocolate filling, was flavorful, creamy, and the perfect combination with the white cake. Then topping is off with a fondant (and not the icky sugary stiff fondant, but a perfectly sweet marshmallow fondant) made the cake complete…. Completely amazing!
I have now added 3 go-to recipes to my collection, and I am very excited! I have made a lot of white cake recipes – and I mean a lot. But finally I found one that is perfect… yes, dare I say perfect :).
One of the best things about this cake is not just the way it tasted but the way it looks. It looks so fresh and sweet. I really can just look at this cake and be happy!
I hope you enjoy this cake as much as I did!
Oh, and also... Happy Cinco de Mayo :).
Tune in tomorrow for one more “Happy” occasion!
