Baking cakes for near and dear ones

I started baking cakes for near and dear ones about a year ago, but have never dared to take a picture and showcase it... Seeing creations from various bakers at different forums, I dont even want to put up a picture anywhere. So this year I want to harness my baking skills and make sure that I share the pictures of the bakes that I recently did. After all everybody starts somewhere right. 

First among these, is a cake that I baked for a kuti darling niece of mine. It is an egg less butterscotch flavored cake with vanilla fresh cream frosting. Went ahead an tried to make a very amateur two tier cake. It was decent to look and tasted good. Should really appreciate my friends for having giving me the chance to bake a cake for their kid. She was excited to see the cake and made my day for sure


Second on the list is am egg less pineapple cake, with fresh cream frosting layered between finely chopped pineapple. This was a big cake which weighed about 3 kg. Had to bake two tiers separately and then used generous portions of fresh cream mixed with pineapple as the filling between them.


Last on the list but never the least, an egg less chocolate cake with ganache filling and sprinkles on top. This cake is special in many ways. I baked this for my mother on her birthday, baked it with my niece ( who is barely 4 years old) and sister and the icing was done by her using a spoon. The time I took from baking to cutting of the cake was flat 2 hours 10 minutes. My family relished the cake a lot. It was moist and chocolaty. Had fun making this cake
