And in mid May, our team hit a very important milestone and decided to celebrate everyone's hard work and achievements by getting the whole team together with a delicious cake.
While I was absolutely ecstatic when I was given the opportunity to make a cake for this very special occasion, I was also worried about my lack of experience in making such a large cake. But I managed to pull it off with the help my friend Penny and moral supports from my roommates. Thanks guys!
I can't quite show the entire cake because the information written on the cake is apparently confidential, but I drew our Street View car camera system on the cake with frosting as per request!
Here is an image of a Street View car with the camera system on top for a reference.
I wanted to keep the flavors simple and do something chocolatey -- a pretty safe bet when the audience is as big as 30-40 people. It is a two-layer cake of light, moist devil's food cake and chocolate pastry cream between them and topped with fluffy vanilla buttercream.
This is by far my biggest cake project up to date and it was definitely not easy, but seeing everyone on the team enjoying it made it all worth the time and effort.
And my cake made it onto Twitter!
very cooL! :)
