This may not have been my best decorated cake, but I can guarantee you it was a tasty cake. Moist. Delicious. My boyfriend’s and my birthdays are 6 days apart and I was sick on his birthday so last week I made us both a chocolate chip birthday cake to celebrate. Did I just rhyme?
My boyfriend made me a chocolate chip cake for my birthday the first year we were dating. It was box and the chocolate chips sank to the bottom of the cake, but it was good. So i thought I would make us both one and go on a mission to keep the chips suspended in the cake. I did a little bit of online researching and the trick is to use smaller chips, coat them in flour, then fold them gently into batter.
I used a canned chocolate frosting and piped on the pink strawberry cream cheese buttercream. I used a small open star tip to pipe the rosettes and a 2D tip for the edges.
