Hi gys
I’m thrilled to share this cake with you all! Growing up, I baked countless cookies, but I’ve never attempted making a cake—until now.
My fiancé, Owyn, tragically passed away last year in an accident. He was an extraordinary chef and always encouraged me to explore the kitchen more. Since then, the kitchen has felt like a bittersweet place—it’s where we created some of our best memories. Taking this step is a significant milestone for me in more ways than one.
To honor Owyn on his birthday, I’ve decided to start baking cakes each year. It feels like a heartfelt way to remember him and reconnect with something he was so passionate about.
We were both huge Harry Potter fans and would read the books aloud to each other every night before bed. So, recreating Hagrid’s cake felt like the perfect starting point.
This is a chocolate orange cake with butterscotch icing. It’s far from perfect, and I still have so much to learn, but I’m proud of this first attempt and excited about this new hobby.
Thank you for letting me share this emotional journey. I hope to improve and share more advanced cakes in the future.//.n
