Because I think it’s important to show that I’m not perfect, nor is my food. It was still delicious.

I had the same problem with my cakes not rising. I’ve been baking for years and never had this problem. At first I thought my baking powder was old, but it is fairly new. I baked these twice, the first time with 8″ pans and each layer was barely an inch thick. I made them again, with 2 9″ pans and they came out a little higher, but as they have cooled they are under an inch each. I’m going to use them (for bridal shower) and just plump up the middle with more strawberies. I’m still curious as to why they didn’t rise. I did eat some of the first batch and the cake itself is delish!!!

I made the cake this weekend for my mom’s birthday and it was delicious! I have a question though, my cakes didn’t rise nearly as much as yours did. Everything was still delicious when it came together, but the cake was a little dense. Do you have any suggestions as to why my cakes didn’t rise?

hi ashley! first off, your cake looks WONDERFUL. i may or may not have just pinned it onto my board with the caption “this looks glorious.” i cant wait to try it – clearly, you have a knack for creating goodness 🙂

i realize that i don’t know you and you don’t know me – that i came across your website from pinterest, but just in case you would like my point of view, you are welcome to it:
i was also dealing with these funks – i know that insecurity runs rampant upon women. c.s. lewis says that “comparison is the pure thief of joy.” but really.. it sucks. it’s not fun. just remember that God specifically crafted you into the person He wanted you to be. to wish that you were someone else is pointless and self destructive: A. you’re never going to be that person B. you are unrepeatable; there is a magic about you that is all your own. God created you EXACTLY how He wanted you to be; no apologies, no regrets. YOU are someone special. YOU were hand crafted by your maker. REJOICE in these deficiencies and allow them to bring you closer to the security of Jesus Christ. Beth Moore has a book called So Long Insecurity that i found to be pretty interesting.

i hope this helps some 🙂 have a beautiful day

Hi, I was introduced here by Saveur and I can’t describe how fast I fell in love with your blog. I love your photos – oh, they take my breath away. They decorate my pinterest very well, if you don’t mind. I love your writing and your stories. I would just like to thank you for enriching my life. Discovering a new loved blog is as good as finding a friend you click with 🙂

Hi! Made this for Easter with fresh spelt four. My 8 year old proclaimed it, “best cake ever” ( and I’ve made a LOT) of cakes. He asked for it for his birthday cake as well. Now to cut it football shape and use a bit of fondant…….:)

I’m sorry for “cheating” as I haven’t sat down to read the article in full yet, but when using fruit with cake, how do you keep the fruit from “running” – becoming watery? If you answer this in your blog, kindly disregard. 😉

ack! it seemed as if there was not enough batter for 3 pans and the layers are very skinny! i moved the pans during baking to get an even bake. i think it made the layer cakes fall. help! what did i do wrong? here’s a pic. see what i mean?? yours are much higher. http://yfrog.com/nybmasj

I’ve had those dark moments…it can be difficult to snap yourself out of it. On the upside, I love the cake. Made it for a coworker’s birthday and it was a huge hit. I wish I’d had the 8 in. cake pans instead of the 9 in. as I on;t got two layers out of it. I think next time, I would slice each layer in two and get four layers total! Just beautiful!

This cake was delicious. The frosting turned out perfect. It would be good with lots of other cakes too.
