Easy as Pi... or Maybe Cake

A while back I got this great idea to bake my own marble cake. Then I realized that I'd end up having a ton of cake so I put it off. Well this semester I am an administrator for the Humans Vs Zombies game here at USU, and I had this great idea to bring treats to every meeting. Well tonight is our last meeting for the semester before the game starts. And from past knowledge these meetings go really late because we still have a ton to plan. Thus I decided to make the marbled cake.

The cake part turned out great just look at that marbling. It's perfect, anyway.

 The next best part is it's filled with a chocolate icing. (Didn't want to try the gnash without practice first).


So after the epic cake comes the epic decorating. Now as I said this is for the administrators for the game of zombies so please no making fun of me, okay?
Not exactally what I was going for but it ended up good. I was intending on piping a great design on it but I put too much milk in my frosting and then didn't have enough powdered sugar to counteract it. Good thing I'm  inventive though. All that decoration was melted chocolate icing that I applied with a pastry brush.

I'm just pleased the cake didn't end up being a wreck.  Best part of all of this is, I'm semi-self taught. And I just make things up as I go... I think it could end up being a problem some day. But for the time being I'm pleased. Hopefully the people eating it will be pleased too.









Oh I forgot one thing.

My kitchen is being invaded by chocolate leaches.
