Blue Ombre Cake

I’ve seen lots of people create variations of this ombre cake and I’d been super excited to try it out because it didn’t seem very hard but you end up with fantastic results! I created this cake in celebration of my supervisor’s birthday. I actually used this cake pan:

I filled the cake with a mixture of Cool Whip and chocolate pudding which tasted amazing and was a cost effective way to fill a cake.

The outside is smeared bubbles was created using swiss meringue buttercream with vanilla flavouring. I have to say that swiss meringue buttercream is simply the best kind of buttercream for most birthday/wedding style cakes.

There are plenty of youtube videos online that demonstrate how to do this but I used the tutorial by The Boy Who Bakes.

Hello!

Hello! Nice to meet you and welcome to my blog!

My blog is all about how to use up your scrap pieces of paper, using something you would have thrown away to create something brand new!
So save those scraps and get ready to make something whimsy, something fun, something beautiful, and drink some rum (sorry…what rhymes with fun? bun? lol!)

 A little about me:

I’ve always loved to craft and part of my love for crafting is being able to share it with my friends and community. Over the years, I’ve learned a lot from other scrapbookers on youtube or various crafting blogs (eg. Kristina Werner, Kathy Orta, Anne’s Paper Creations, Followthepapertrail, Under a cherry tree, etc.), and I wanted the opportunity just to give back a little of my own discoveries as well and help others too.

My background is in the natural sciences. I have a Bachelor in Science and I’m currently working towards a PhD in Microbiology and Immunology. As student, I’m poor. Let’s just say it as it is. I’m always trying to find ways to cut corners to support my artsy side. It keeps me grounded and helps me de-stress from a long long day of experiments, writing, meetings and presentations. That’s why I’m always saving my scraps, using what I have and never wasting anything.

Drop me a comment, or send me a message, I appreciate your feedback and suggestions on how to make things better, easier and prettier 🙂
