Ombre cake ~ 3 layers for 3 years !

I have been seeing the pictures of beautiful ombre cakes floating through in Pinterest. I could never control myself drooling over the pictures.

All said, I must admit that I am not a fan of frosting but I love the way the cakes are decorated. When it comes to eating a cake with frosting, I feel a huge sugar rush after having it and don't even ask me about the guilt that grows in me for having had all that cream, butter and sugar that I imagine myself to be inflating like a balloon. So when it comes to frosting a cake at home, I hesitate, because both of us don't prefer frosting and more over I run short of ideas how to decorate it (Honestly...I am bad at frosting).

Red Velvet Cupcakes with Cream Cheese Frosting

We had a small get together of college friends living in Phoenix, the other day. It was just three of us. All of us were not that close to each other, while in college. All of us had different gangs of friends and were used to having a hi-bye-hello relationship. But when we met, we hardly had our tongue resting for a while. We kept on chit chatting till it got dark and we had to return to our own homes. It was fun to have met them after so long and we hope to meet more often :).

While we planned to meet, I was wondering what to make, to serve something sweet. Has it happened to you that the days when your snack box is full, you end up having all of it by yourselves and when someone pays you an unplanned visit, you panic when you see the snack box empty and clueless what to serve them ? Happens with me quite frequently. Since this time we were just back from a trip, the snack box was empty and to add to it, the house was also in a mess.
