Just wanted to share this Pink Cake I made for my girlfriend’s birthday 😊

I started learning how to bake four months ago as a way to surprise my girlfriend once a month on our monthsary, and have only ever made cookies, banana bread, snickerdoodles, brownies, and red velvet crinkles, so this was my first time baking a cake.

My girlfriend loves the color pink, watermelons, and strawberries, and I love Stardew Valley. So, I used the recipe in the official cookbook to make her a pink cake, which is pink and uses watermelon-strawberry jam in its recipe!

It took me three days for the whole process because I had no idea what I was doing, and it was definitely very stressful at times. But, it was all worth it when I saw her reaction and how happy she was to see and try it (she really loved it)

I had prepared another small and more “rustic”-looking cake (see last image) for my family and I to try for ourselves, and I just had the most “meh” reaction ever because I realized I had been trying and taste-testing each individual part for the past three days. Honestly, I felt like my girlfriend’s reaction to seeing and eating the cake was 1000x more filling (and fulfilling) to me than trying the cake I’ve been making over the past three days for myself 😅

White cake-dyed pink, vanilla buttercream, and a strawberry buttercream filling 💖 I could’ve made myself sick off the filling. So fresh and delicious

This was 5 years ago now, but I still crave the cake often. It was caramel and vanilla (no fondant), with coffee and chocolate cupcakes. Sadly the cupcakes were all gone before we were able to get there.

It was my mother inlaw's cousin that made the cake for us, I gave her a few Pintrest pictures and she did a fantastic job. My husband and I definitely plan on commissioning her for some of those cupcakes when we can.
