A Belated Birthday Success

I finally got around to making N.'s birthday cake this weekend. It was supposed to be a surprise, but unforeseen circumstances prevented me from following through on my plans. Not to worry! It was worth the wait.

This was my first attempt making a cake from scratch and it turned out pretty darn good if I do say so myself. I used the recipe found here: http://www.joyofbaking.com/RedVelvetCake.html

This was the bottom of the cake after coming out of the oven. Swirly! I have no idea why.

Yum!
