Hehehe why lapis legit German? first of.. this is actually an ordinary lapis legit cake but bec its Eid and its for mom.. i decided to add colour to it.. i dont know why i chose these colours but when hb saw it he asked me this question "Eh is this German layer cake?" .. I was like.. "huh is there such thing as German layer cake?" he looked at me with that typical "duhhh" look.. "u do know that these are the colours of the German flag except its the other way around? - called Schwarz, Rot, Gold (Black, Red, Gold)"
Ahhhh so i created something that is close to his heart (an Austrian's heart??).. well ok.. not that its a big deal but hey if that makes him feel good.. then thats good.. right?
So hows the preparation so far?? i bet everyone is super busy with baking.. house cleaning etc etc etc.. i finally finished baking layer cake last friday and decided to 'close shop' for a day to take Hairi out to shop for new clothing.. he bought 2 pants, 2 shirts, a wallet and also suspenders fm Top Shop.. he no longer is into all black when it comes to clothing and his sense of fashion has improved tremendously lol.. whatever i chose for him seemed to hit the right nerve and to hear him say "thank you mama" reminded me for when he was a little boy... arghhh why do i get emotional over these things... "shrug"
Anyway i cant stay long.. i hv 6 blocks of butters in my kitchen waiting to be transformed into cakes.. all the layer cakes that u see here is for my mom.. i did lapis spekkoek using CMG recipe (i doubled the recipe), I did lapis blueberry cheese using Bro Rozzan recipe and last but not least i did lapis legit "German" using Ayin recipe.. this cake is super moist and to those that are so into soft, moist and oily layer cake.. this is the cake for u.. i know mom wud love it.. as for hb.. he felt this cake is too oily for his liking.. somehow i felt the same way eventho i finished the whole slice.. not that i dont like the texture of this cake.. its just that each bite reminds me of the cholestrol and fat that goes into my body system hhahaha
