Camille's Baby Shower Cake

Camille and Brian's Baby Shower Cake

A friend of mine is about to welcome home a darling baby girl from Russia. Since her baby shower was so close to Halloween we decided to make it a double party. We had games, presents for the happy couple, delicious food, and I was delighted to have made the cake. It was really exciting to actually be bringing a cake to a party for everyone. Camille's favorite is red velvet, so I made two tiers of layered red velvet and cream cheese buttercream. The outer layer was a crusting cream cheese buttercream from Cakeartisan.com. (I have used the crusting cream cheese recipe before and really enjoy the taste and look).

For some reason the cake itself was extra moist but it was my first time making a double batch. It turned out very sweet, but I think everyone liked it. (At least I hope!) I am not sure what I will fix for the next time, but I think my first move would be to make sure the two frostings (inner/outer) are exactly the same.
