How to Make a Pretty Flower Cake – It’s Easy!

Sunday, August 3rd, 2008

In my last post, I explained how I made a number seven cake for my daughter’s birthday. I also made a flower cake. This is even easier to make!

What you’ll need:

One box of cake mix
White Icing
Food Coloring
Chocolate Chips
Large Platter (Preferably Round)

All you have to do is make one 8″ round layer cake and 12 cupcakes. You should be able to do this with one box of cake mix (at least in the US). Then you ice the cake. If you want it to look like a typical flower, you can use yellow icing on the round cake. You can do this by mixing a little yellow food coloring into white vanilla icing.

Then you can make the cupcakes have a different color icing for the petals of your flower. Mix another color food coloring with the white icing and spread it on the cupcakes. I made them pink by using a couple of drops of neon red food coloring. Then arrange the cupcakes around the round cake on a large round platter.

Then you can put the chocolate chips around the yellow icing on the cake to look like seeds.

That’s all you need to do to make a pretty flower cake!

Happy Baking!

Birthday Cake Idea – Make a Number Cake for Your Child!

Friday, August 1st, 2008

It’s time for my daughter’s birthday. She’s turning 7 and she wanted a number 7 cake. It turned out to be pretty easy to make. You can choose any kind of cake you’d like to make. Prepare it as you would normally but bake it in a 9 x 13 inch rectangular cake pan. After it’s cooled off, place it on a large tray or cookie sheet. If you’re making a Seven Cake – cut out the seven as I did below.

1) First cut out a triangle on the left…

2) Then cut off the bottom right corner of the cake…

3) Then remove the bottom corner (you can put icing on it separately if you’d like)…

4) Put the icing on the cake…

5) If desired, you can decorate the cake (or let your kids decorate it like I did)…

Then you have a finished cake!

You can use different shaped pans depending upon what number you’d like to make. If you’d like, you can draw a template of the number using the backs of your pans and paper. Cut out the number on paper first then cut it out of the cake using the template you made.

Have lots of icing on hand – you’ll need more then usual, since it’s harder to ice cut cake. You might need to put thicker layers of icing to cover the cut portions neatly.

Happy Baking!
