Surprise Cake

7/14/2014

What's better than making a birthday cake for the most excellent eleven year old girl? Helping that eleven year old make her OWN birthday cake! Seriously, I never had this much fun when I make a cake all by myself in the kitchen.

The top of this cake is the tie dye cake that was featured on yesterday's blog post. The bottom of the cake is a surprise cake with hidden tie dye stars in the center.

This was my first attempt at trying to bake a shape inside of another cake so I wasn't quite sure how it would turn out but fortunately for me (and the birthday girl) it was a huge success.

I started with an extra tye dye cake that the girls and I had baked the night before. (Thanks to an unexpected thunderstorm that cancelled their pool plans.) I used a star cookie cutter to cut shapes the cake into mini stars.

I placed my stars on a cooling rack and put them into the freezer for an hour.

And the best part about cutting cake shapes - are the SCRAPS. Yum!

Then I made more cake batter (the same recipe that I used for the tie dye cake) and poured it around, inside and behind the star ring. It was a bit messy - but it turns out - it didn't even matter.

My 10 inch cake baked for 45 minutes! That seemed like a REALLY long time to bake a cake but it just wasn't getting done in the center.

Cool 10 minutes in the pan and then invert onto a cooling rack to cool completely.

I love the creativity of 11 year old cake bakers and decorators.

Ciao!

The hardest season for clothing and comfort is winter. It's enough to make you want to stay indoors the entire season when the temperatures drop to icy lows and the blustery northern winds scream...
