it was my friend jessica’s birthday the other day, so we celebrated by baking a beautiful beet cake! (well, to be honest, my friends made the cake and i just documented its creation.)
i baked this cake once last year, but this time around was so much better. it was probably due to the addition of icing, a second layer, and the fact that miss taylor is a baking wizard! you can find the whole recipe (and more photos) on her lovely little blog.
who ever thought beets and chocolate would go hand-in-hand! they totally do.
(inspired by tiger in a jar)
the brave music 
i’ve never heard of anything remotely like beet cake and yet my mouth is watering! additional shout out to your friend’s shirt/dress/apron. whatever it is, i love it :)
i think it’s safe to say she made that dress! she’s a crafty one :)
I just made a beet cake last week! It was a variation on red velvet which called for beets instead of food coloring. I didn’t have high hopes for it, but it sort of grew on me. I like the old fashioned mixer. Great pictures of a fun time together.
The uses for beets are almost endless. This cake looks fantastic— I’m adding it to my list :)
well that looks tasty.
this looks like red velvet without the food colouring. sure looks tasty.
Gorgeous shots Mackenzie…and thanks for the blog tip…I’m always excited to learn about more local bloggers ;) Yay!!
