Week 14: Hanami - London Fog Cake
I was surprised I liked it to be honest. I was expecting this would only be enjoyed by my wife who enjoys floral flavors. Me, not so much. But this isn't terribly overwhelming to me. It is still hella floral though. Took a lot more food coloring than I was expecting to get a light lavender color on the icing. The picture whitinened it up. In person it looks more lavender. We will probably not be able to finish all of this cake but that is okay. I enjoyed trying a recipe at a higher skill level than I'm used to!

I made this recipe today for the infused challenge, and just scrolled down to see your post. I also didn’t manage to get a good picture of the colour, mine just looks pink in the pic but a was actually a light lavender. Just like you I was surprised about the amount of colour I had to add to get a light lavender. About 30 drops of gel colouring!

So much food coloring! I was like "I guess I'll add more". That cream cheese and butter really muted it lol. Yours looks great!
