After work and the gym, 'whatever time I have left in the day is what I dedicate to the cakes,' said Robert Lucas.
Well, I wouldn't call it"easy," but I tried to channel his can-do attitude as I baked buttermilk cake layers, pureed the strawberry compote and whipped up a tangy cream cheese frosting. I watched his video over and over as I assembled all the elements without any special equipment, and came up with a sort of sloppy pink blob that was decorated vaguely like Lucas' masterpiece.
Everyone's gotta start somewhere, right?My cake was absolutely enormous, so I ran around Brooklyn and Manhattan distributing slices to friends and family, which did not help its aesthetics at all. The thing is, most people are pumped when you present them with free homemade cake, no matter what it looks like. At this point, Lucas' lucky IT co-workers expect a cake a week. The days when they didn't know about his kitchen talents are long gone.
