I refuse to compromise flavor for style! A lot of fancy cakes will be absolutely gorgeous but taste like sawdust... sometimes cakes are made a few days (or weeks) in advance and then frozen so they are easier to work with. I never do that-- first, I think it adversely affects the flavors but I'm also a bit of a procrastinator so I never work ahead! :)
That being said, I also like to make simple, yummy cakes with no particular kind of decoration. I made a chocolate peanut butter cake and some decadent cupcakes this week!
The cake was three layers of chocolate fudge cake, filled with peanut butter buttercream and chopped miniature Reese cups, then iced with chocolate buttercream icing, and topped with chocolate ganache and more chopped Reese's.
And since I had some extra batter, I made cupcakes!
I also make a Turtle Cake with three layers of chocolate fudge cake, homemade salted caramel filling, whipped chocolate ganache icing and topped with poured chocolate ganache and toasted pecans!
