I used Preppy Kitchen’s Vanilla Cake recipe (which was delicious) and his buttercream frosting.
I have to admit, I didn’t really care for the frosting, but I think that’s more me coming to terms with the fact that I don’t like homemade American buttercream. It’s too… buttery and sweet. 🥲
This is one of the first fully decorated cakes I’ve made since a medical issue basically tanked my fine motor and hand/eye coordination. (I also didn’t have all the tools I needed, but I do love to improvise.) I’m pleased with how it came out though! If I keep trying, I hope I can keep improving.

Quick question: I also find frosting in a bit over buttery and sweet, but I also hate the whipped stuff. Is there a good recipe for a less sweet version? I’ve had good luck making dark chocolate icing, but that’s it.
The Juneteenth colors are red, white, and blue. It’s not a Pan-African holiday, but an American one, and the celebration flag is based on the Texas flag given the history
Looks lovely!
Nice!
You got some clean strips going on, looks delicious 🤤
This looks lovely! Good work OP.
it looks so nice! bet it was soo yum
I love it! 😍
Top looks amazing! Love how you kept the colors flowing without melting into each other
I love it.
It’s amazing!!! Happy Juneteenth! And you did a great job given your supply limitations and your medical issue. I hope it is well managed and you’re getting great care.
As someone who also detests American buttercream, I love Swiss meringue buttercream. If you want any recipe suggestions, I’m happy to share.
May you have many more great looking bakes that are just as delicious!
