So cute. My stepsis has been sending videos of the kids' egg hunt as well...haven't seen them in ages due to Covid restrictions.

The cake is absolutely spectacular! German buttercream sounds delicious, too. Your relatives are so lucky to have you baking for them. My relatives get a tasty cake but it's very basic looking. Luckily for me, they have low standardsSo...cake. I am sadly not gifted photographer but you get the gist of it.
It's four layers of chocolate Genoise sponge, German chocolate buttercream (whip butter, add stiff custard or pastry creme...ratio is 250 g butter to custard from 500 ml milk, to that I added 50 g of melted dark chocolate), ganache drip.

Hi! Since it was my first try I only made the pavlova. Otherwise would probably be great with blueberry curd. I live in a hot and humid climate so baking can be very trying.Looks great! What are you serving it with?
I have four family birthdays coming up, two in August and two in September. Planning the cakes but it is awfully hot...not only is turning on the oven a bad idea, I've had buttercream melt on me before as I can't cool down the kitchen enough. So we'll see how the weather develops.
It looks amazing and I’m sure it tasted excellent. I love every single type of custard — with dark chocolate must be perfection.So first birthday person loves a sheet cake called Donauwelle (Danube Wave) or Schneewittchenkuchen (Snow White Cake) - marbled cake, cherries, German buttercream (custard-based) and dark chocolate. I plan to make it into a semi-naked layer cake.

Hello @QueenofWrapDress , I've only just seen this post even though it's a few months old, and wanted to say your cake looks delectable! I love, love Chocolait Chips too. It has been ages since I got my hands on them since it's not available where I live (the last time I saw it was in Berlin a few years ago!).So...cake. I am sadly not gifted photographer but you get the gist of it.

Would you happen to have a recommendation for an online recipe of a chocolate cake that is rich and creamy but not too sweet? Oh, and also pretty simple because it has been years since I last baked! Thank you.
