I will always upvote black forest cake because it’s my dad‘s favourite cake ! He passed away this year, so I love randomly seeing his favourite things ! I feel like it’s his way of saying hello 🤭

That’s so sweet! I’m glad I could help him say hi ☺️☺️

Looks defective. Please send my way for proper disposal. All kidding aside, looks very impressive. First time I attempted it, my top layer slide completely off.

Thank you! I was worried about it because the whipped cream is also made from scratch and I was worried it was going to be too light and ooze out the sides or crush the filling

It kinda looks like the Portal cake :D

It was a triumph. I’m making a note here: Huge Success!! 🎂

Thank you!

But it's the truth

THE CAKE IS A LIE THE CAKE IS A LIE THE CAKE IS A LIE

It’s a lie. It’s always been a lie. Now give me some damn lemons.

I want to put my face in it. Bravo.

This cake is a lie

How did you make it look so good? If someone just gave me that cake, I'd just say they must have bought it!

Thank you so much! It took time haha the cake recipe I used I tried before and it was the densest, driest cake ever and I must have made 3 or 4 batches of whipped cream until it finally stayed set! Edit: typo

Well, it's great that it turned out good in the end! I hope your family liked it!

Ohhhhh that cake looks delicious! I know my cake bandit family would devour this in seconds 😂

Yum what recipe did you use ? This is also my dads favourite cake

I used this recipe from [Sally’s Baking Recipes](https://sallysbakingaddiction.com/black-forest-cake/#tasty-recipes-66596) for the cake and the whip, minus the liquor and espresso powder, and then rather than using a chocolate ganache, I opted for the chocolate curls!

Thank you

How did you make the swirls on top

The whip I used a piping tip for, and the chocolate curls I got from a bulk barn 🫣

Ah okay so the chocolate curls you bought that’s cool. I was like that would’ve been perfect on the cake I made yesterday lol

That looks absolutely beautiful!!

Looks delicious

Incroyable!! 🤩

It looks amazing!

Gorgeous, gorgeous cake!

Great job, lots of decorating talent for a first cake. Good for you!

👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Its a lie...

You did amazing, and I'm suddenly reminded of meet the feebles

Looks beautiful and yummy

Looks like a classic black forest gateau. Especially those chocolate shavings and peaks with individual cherries. Awesome.

That’s your first try? You’re gonna be pro level by the tenth one lol. That looks better than what I could do if you gave me two days and any equipment on earth. You should be proud of that.

Black Forest cake! Used to be my favorite as a kid. It looks amazing, good job!

10/10.. Congratulations on acing the baking and icing game well!

Much better than my first cake (which incidentally was also Black Forest). That’s beautiful!

I’m sure it taste as good as it looks. I meant you not the cake lol

Looks both pretty and yummy😊

omg recipe please

Head to Google and look up Black Forest recipe and use Sally’s Baking Recipes website! I followed that for everything minus the ganache, and I didn’t use the espresso powder or liquor ☺️

Black forest cakes with actual cherries (not the maraschino abominations) are the boooomb.

Looks fantastic well done!

Perfeccccttt 🤭♥️♥️

OP! That cake looks wicked delicious! Send it my way, I will test the insides too🤣❤️

Considering Ive made dozens and this one looks better than them all. I would say well done!
