Good, you’ve finally become a woman.
It’s kind of like showing others, “Hey, I know what I’m doing.” That you have the skills necessary to make people want to take photos of a cake they didn’t even make. That you’re an adult that has it all together because you obviously know how to cook and make it look pretty.
Yeah, that’s the kind of difficulty level these cakes are. The I-have-it-all-together-look-at-me-and-what-I-can-make kind of difficulty level.
And if that’s you, then these gorgeous cake recipes are going to probably make everyone at your next get-together a little jealous.

The Best Carrot Cake Recipe From Scratch
I love carrot cake so this one was obviously going to make the list. Also, why just have a regular carrot cake when you can make it look like you reached into one of those pretty Instagram baking pages and stole it right out of the photo? Because that’s kind of what this looks like.
Tiramisu Cake with Mascarpone Frosting
It’s an ombre style tiramisu cake. It’s beautiful, Italian-inspired, and ready for a summer or fall get-together with friends.

Gluten-Free Orange Cake
Orange cake sounds SO good. And on top of that, it’s beautiful and looks like you wanted to do some painting, but used a cake instead of a canvas.
It’s the kind of cake you make with the excuse that it’s for a party, but in reality, you just really wanted a giant slice of cake that tasted like it came out of a fancy bakery.
Honey Cake with Blackberry Jam Icing
I feel like honey cake is the type of dessert you’d read about the main character, in a 19th-century novel, eating.

It’s gorgeous, looks delicious, and I’m thinking everyone will enjoy it. 🙂
