Never argue with a 90 degree angle. It's always right. cake by Anna Taylor

Description

I really enjoyed this design because it was so simple yet "punny". I didn't just want to replicate it however, so I put my own spin on words.

I've never created a cake as simple as this one before, which was why I decided this was a good challenge to start out with. I baked two 9" square cakes then cut them to make an obtuse triangle. After that, I made buttercream to cover and fill the cake as well as a small batch that I used to decorate it. I covered a square board with blue fondant to allow the almost-black triangle to stand out in photos. It added more color and visual interest to the cake. After cutting and frosting the cake, I added the blue triangles to two angles then added the writing to fill in the rest of the cake. Overall, this whole process took about 4 hours.

The cake is a chai tea cake and the frosting is dark chocolate buttercream, all homemade and delicious!
