Birthday Cake

Last week I was going to make a cake for E's birthday, but she wanted to bake and decorate, too, so we made a cake for her birthday. She decided she wanted citrus and/or berry, so after several days of recipe browsing, we decided on this:

Only about half the eggs that went into this cake...don't even ask about the butter...


Perfect 3 for 3 on the cakes! Nothing broke coming out of the pan! Woohoo!

It was lemon cake, with lemon curd cream filling (literally a mixture of whipped cream and lemon curd, an awesome idea that I will definitely use again), lemon buttercream frosting, and raspberries. After always making cupcakes for a long time, it was fun to actually make a cake cake. :)
