Anyway, there was an informal cake competition, and since you really do need an occasion to make a fancy layer cake (does one ever make a layer cake just for themselves? I don't think so...though I wouldn't criticize them if they did!) I made a layer cake.
Marbled lemon-blueberry butter cake. Here is the first layer, accompanied by a blueberry preserve that I made (and an empty package of butter and other stuff lying around):
Here is the finished creation, at the picnic:
Another shot, with a slice taken out:
Finally, after it had been mauled by the masses:
Sadly, I didn't win. Though the judging was sort of informal and disorganized and chaotic, and there was a vote missing in the end (?)...The raspberry chocolate cake to the right won. I guess classics are classics for a reason. It was a fine cake though, and very pretty I think. I'd make it again for sure.
