So I Whisked up a little pineapple butter cake with Pineapple buttercream frosting. It was sweet to me but she ate almost half of it already! I think butter cream is wickedly sweet but the pineapple toned it down a tad. I wasn't sure what I was going to make so I combined a few recipes and added the pineapple to it. I never really know what I am going to do until I do it.
BTW this was all whisked by hand no mixer for the buttercream or buttercake.
