H A P P Y B I R T H D A Y K A T I E - B E A R !
Our beautiful Katie celebrated a birthday this week and what better way to surprise her then with a home-made cake! My girlfriend Tina and I wanted it to be perfectly pretty so we choose a pink theme and stuck to a basic butter cake recipe.
After mixing up a double batch of butter cake mix we divided it into 3 bowls and coloured each a different shade of pink. While the 3 cakes were baking we made a huge batch of buttercream icing using softened butter, icing sugar and vanilla extract. Once the cakes had cooled we assembled the cake tower using buttercream to stabilise one cake on top of another and completely covered the whole thing in icing. Lastly, we took handfuls of sprinkles and patted them into the icing to cover the entire tower.
It's simple yet effective and looks amazing when you cut it!
