Aqua Ombre Birthday Cake

Happy 25th Birthday to my amazing other half, who is the best eating companion anyone could ask for :D

He doesn’t know it yet but I baked him a vanilla butter cake with lemon buttercream frosting. It was my first attempt at doing ombre icing and I’m quite happy with it, but it’s far from perfect. Perhaps I should google some ombre icing tips next time, though I know I can hold my head up high for the fact I did it on my own ;)

Can’t wait to dig in tonight!! =D

  The lemon adds a bit of zing and cuts back the sweetness! Definitely will be making that again
