It's simple, but it's elegant. And it's different. Everyone thinks of putting a house on a housewarming cake, but rarely do you see an address. Now, I didn't use a ruler with this cake, so you'll have to excuse all the uneven-ness going on. Overachiever me thought she could just eyeball this thing and have it come out perfect. Overachiever me thought wrong.
It's funny because whereas I thought I could make a perfect little border without a ruler, I wasn't confident enough to freehand pipe the address. So I used a toothpick to trace out the letters and numbers, then piped over the tracing, but I somehow still managed to have my writing come out a little odd looking. Gotta love it. I guess one day when I hopefully get really good at this, I'll have something to look back on to make me laugh and/or make me proud.
In other news, the cake tasted really, really good. I used this recipe, only doubling the cake batter to make two 13x9 inch layers. And I made sure to tell everyone beforehand that the cake had a chocolate chip cookie dough frosting as a filling so they'd all be eager to cut into it and would avoid actually looking at my uneven decorating. I think it worked. There's just something about cookie dough that makes a crowd go wild.
