My brother is a rather adventurous sort, and each year he tries to outdo his birthday cake from the year before. This year was a pyramid cake. It was delicious, german chocolate. Yum!
Pics of the progress:
 |
| Baked 3 9x9 square cakes, lopped off the curved top |
|
|
 |
| Tops lopped and prepared to be frosted |
 |
| Mmmm...frosting |
 |
| Frosted! Layer the cakes, frosting only on the bottom and middle cake! |
 |
| Carefully cut at an angle down the front of the cake, then the back |
 |
| Frost the top layer and add the pieces you cut off, frosting between the two added pieces as well. Confused? Imagine the new top 3 layers as a door on a hinge, rotate it down and you can see how you cut it off the original square cake : ) |
 |
| Top view...almost there! |
 |
| Now we have to cut the sides to make it a pyramid instead of a prism. Discard these pieces, or save them to eat later : ) |
 |
| Tada! |
 |
| Frost the heck outta that cake! |
 |
| It was very crumbly from all that cutting...if you're good with fondant I think that might look nicer lol |
 |
| Add the candles... |
 |
| Top view, 6 on each side, one at the point on top : ) |
 |
| Make a wish and blow those candles out fast! |
