easiest birthday cake ever
I am not a baker, and truly, I don’t want to be. I make the same cake for every single one of my kids birthdays and dress it up just a little bit different to fit the theme. I am telling you, if I can do it, so can you!
These cake pans are a must. I have used them for nine of my own kids parties, two cake smashes, and people have totally borrowed them from me. They are the best and I love the size.
supplies:
box of cake mix (I always use funfetti, but you do you!)
one jar of whipped cream cheese frosting
3 eggs
1/2 cup oil
1 cup water
cake decorations! Make a banner, use sprinkles, add figurines, there are so many super simple ways to dress up your cake.
how to:
Mix up your batter according to the instructions on the box. I promised the easiest cake tutorial ever, so yes, we are using a box cake mix!
Split the batter evenly between the two pans and cook according to instructions on the box.
Once the cakes have cooked and cooled cut the top off of each cake to make a smooth surface.
Add frosting to the top of one of the cakes and plop the other one on top so tops of the cakes are together. That way you get a really smooth look on both the top and bottom since you are only seeing the sides that were perfectly rounded in the bottom of the pan.
Frost the outside and top. You can get real fancy and use one of these frosting spatula’s, but I typically just use a butter knife.
Stick it in the fridge for a bit. I’ve found that it is easier to work with after it has been in the fridge for a little while.
Decorate! Even though this is the simplest cake ever you really can make it cute!
Decorating your cake can be suuuper simple. Here are some of my favorite ways to do that!
Character Figurines (Check your local dollar tree, I have found a ton of cute ones there!)
