Ombre Cheesecake

wanted to make a rainbow cheesecake but i didn't have enough cream cheese AND my mould wasn't high enough! so i decided to do ombre instead.. this would look nice if we garnish with cranberries or a strawberry but i had neither so i left it as it is..

i'm loving the colour gradient!!

Pink Ombre Cake

first attempt at baking an ombre cake.. i used the betty crocker white cake mix for the batter.. once the batter is ready, i divided them into 4 equal portions of about 260 ml each. tinted 3 portions with red food colouring.. 

i only had two 7" moulds so i could only bake 2 portions at a time for 18mins each..

buttercream was made and spread in between the "patties".. note to self, reduce the icing sugar in the buttercream by at least HALF.. (>_<)

crumb coat the cake and refrigerate it for a while...

then frost the whole cake and refrigerate it for a while again before serving..

use a clean knife and cut!

lurve the colour gradient!

this cake would have been perfect if the buttercream isn't so damn sweet.. but well, i have another box of cake mix so that's a second chance for me :)
