Ystavanpaivaa vietettiin viikko sitten. Olimme menossa ystavien luo tekemaan ruokaa ja syomaan (koko perheet yhdessa). Olin luvannut vieda kakun. Vaaleanpunaisen kakun. Ja olin jopa valinnut kakunkin, jonka tekisin. Kinuskikissa ei koskaan ole pettanyt resepteissaan ja niinpa valitsin sielta TAMAN. (Kuvat ovat sitten aikamoinen sekamelska puhelimella otettuja, Internetista lainattuja, Instagramista ja kamerasta. Pahoittelen.)
We celebrated Valentine's Day a week ago. We were going to cook and eat with friends (the whole families together). I had promised to make a cake. A pink cake. I had also chosen the cake I would make. Kinuskikissa has never let me down with her recipes so I chose
THIS one. (The pictures in this post are a mix match of Internet borrowed, from the phone and Instagram as well as from my camera. I'm sorry).

Ensimmainen kakkupohja naytti talta sen jalkeen kun sain sen kumottua. Se vaan siis meni kahtia. Ei kun kaupan kautta tekemaan toista kakkupohjaa. Se onnistui. HUH!
First sponge looked like this after I managed to get in on the rack. It just split in two. A trip to the store to get few things and to make another one. That was a success. PHEW!
Lauantaina aamupaivasta aloitin sitten koristelutouhut. Vahan piti saveltaa kun eihan taalla mitaan mansikanmakuista tomusokeria ole kaupassa. Piti siis maustaa ja vahan varjatakin. :) Minulla olikin sitten hiukan isompi kakkuvuoka kuin reseptin tekijalla ja eihan se vaaleanpunainen kuorute riittanyt ja toisen satsin saaminen samanvariseksi olisikin ollut aika saatoa. Homma piti siis pelastaa jollain muulla konstilla.
Onneksi oli ylimaaraisia mansikoita ja kermaa. :)
Saturday morning I started the actual decorating. I had to improvise a bit as there's no strawberry flavored confectioner's sugar here. I did some flavouring and colouring. :) Apparently I had a little bit bigger cake pan than the recipe maker as the pink frosting was not enough at all. Trying to get another batch exactly the same colour would have been quite challenging. I had to "save" the situation somehow else.
Luckily I had extra strawberries and cream. :)
Kakusta tuli kaunis (jos nyt ei hirveasti sivuilta katsele) ja oli muuten todella hyvaa! Suosittelen jos jollekin tulee kakkunalka.
Ja viimeisista kuorrutuksista ja jaljellejaaneista mansikanpalasista tuli kiva pieni makupalayllari tytoille.
Onpahan namin näköistä!
VastaaPoistaTaytyy kylla myontaa etta oli namia. Sain yhden palan kakusta. Olisin mieluusti ottanut toisenkin mutta syojia oli niin monta etta koko kaakku meni.
PoistaThat cake is absolutely amazing. I made a chocolate cake a couple of days ago and it ended up in the trash. The tray was wrong, the dough was bad, I should stick with the things I know how to make.
VastaaPoistaThanks dear! I can highly recommend Kinuskikissa recipes. They are tested and like I said in the post, I've ever been disappointed. :)
