I am trying something new! I will be attempting to do geek inspired desserts and baked goods as much as possible! (lots of exclamation marks I know but it's so exciting) I really want to bring my passion for baking and my love of geekdom together.
So this week I was planning on making lemon pound cake, and then it struck me, Princess Peach Pound cake! So I took a slight twist, I made the lemon pound cake as the center and then made a peach pound cake around that, and then topped it off with princess pink icing.
