Pictures, 32 months late
About two and a half years ago, I posted something about the birthday cake I was making for sosoclever. The basic concept was that since all my baking lately has the consistency of masonry, I would set out to create a cake based on the concept of masonry. So I made a red velvet cake in a 9"x13" pan. I cut the cake into "bricks" and frosted them with a simple butter frosting. I used undyed frosting for the mortar and pinkish frosting to color the bricks. The result was less than spectacular. Not only did I need more frosting, but because the cake was thicker in the middle than at the edges, perhaps, my basic masonry was less successful than ever before.
