I’m going to be honest with you. I’m afraid of layer cakes. I’ve seen countless videos and tutorials for making those perfectly layered, polished sky high layer cakes and I’m still intimidated. Making those cakes does require some serious skills and precision and perhaps I don’t have that.
I do love cake but when I have to make one for birthdays, our anniversary or any other special occasion I’m often stressed out just thinking about all those different elements and getting them perfect.
