ReCPY: Let Them Eat Yamahomo Cake

As you know, I love to bake, and I am especially fond of cakes. I do it all--classic cakes, crazy cakes, Japanese cakes, chocolate cakes, wedding cakes (trauma). I love to come up with crazy combinations, that I try to master after tweaking the recipe over and over. Over the years, I've posted many of them here on Umamimart, such as...

The Bacon Cupcake: (May, 2009):



The American Cake, for when my friend got his citizenship (September, 2007):



The Baumkuchen Follies (November, 2009):



12-Layer Heavenly Chocolate Cake (February 2008):



Japanese cheesecake (June 2009):



And, of course, the infamous wedding cake disaster (March 2009):



I usually make a cake for friends' birthdays as well. I am making a very special cake for a friend of mine for his birthday, and I have thought long and hard about what would suit him best. It will be pretty funny. Meanwhile, take a look at some of the birthday cakes I have made in the past:

Rice flour carrot cake with cream cheese frosting for a gluten free friend:



A jelly roll with whipped cream and strawberry for a Japanese friend:



Double chocolate cake for a gay guy (this was actually his 35th):



Berry tart for a work colleague:



Macaron round cake for a very sophisticated and bitchy gay guy:



Pink bunny cake for a friend of mine whose birthday happened to fall on Easter weekend:



Yeah, I've made cakes. But brace yourself for one of the craziest and funniest cakes I will be posting next week. Here's a hint:



At least this is how it will start out.
