And here is the cake

[wiseheart]

I did promise a picture, didn't I? Below my Bourbon vanilla/pineapple cake. The icing didn't turn out the way I hoped it would, these cake melts were meant for microwave melting, but since I don't own a microwave oven, I melted them over hot water. The whole thing is definitely not smooth enough, and I should have made more icing, so that the sides of the cake could have been covered, too, but, well, that's how it turned out.



It's a small cake, only 20 cm in diameter, but it will be enough for the two of us and the occasional visitor.

You worry too much, the icing looks quite good from here :)

Happy New Year to you and your Mum!

Well, I always compare the results to the idea what the thing is supposed to look - which it never does. Not when I am the one baking. I think watching The Great British Bake-Off gave me an inferiority complex. *g*

Happy New Year to you and your loved ones, too!

It looks sunny and bright, and the gods only know how much we'll need light in the world this coming year. So thank you for sharing! I hope you and Mum enjoy it!

That about expresses my feelings, yes. ;)

Oh, we do! Mum is very fond of pineapples, and I put less sugar into the cake than the recipe would demand, so it has a very decent flavour. Relatively easily made, too, so if you're interested in the recipe, I can provide it.
