I'm Basil. I bake.

Specifically, I bake Android cakes. That makes this an Android baking blog.
Time’s been tight so the fancy stuff has taken a back seat. For now. Till then, Richard Lai’s in town. HaiLai Brownies. Simples.

This weekend was busy. With a phone to review and a cousin to visit out of town, I didn’t make a Basil Bakes cake, just a plain, yum carrot cake.
This week I’ll pull out all the stops though: “Basil Bakes Carrot Cakes”.
Farmer Android anyone? Moo, Baah, Baah, Beep.

Happy Birthday Matt. This is proof your Apple and my Android can coexist beautifully. 

How it’s made?

Lorraine Pascal’s Red Velvet recipe minus the red velvet plus jam Also, a little less sugar in the buttercream makes it butterier. Dr.Oetker Regal Icing on top. Android is a mix of green, yellow and white Regal Icing.
