| Yesterday was my first birthday I had to bake my own cake! Usually my mom does that for me, but she is in Germany, so that wouldn't work ;) So I decided I want to go lazy on it and not do too much on my special day and went for a cake box mix. But as always, it just wasn't good enough for me. I wanted a filling! Lucky me just bought some super yummy apple pie pudding that works just fine for a filling. I also don't like my frosting super sweet so I went for a whipped cream vanilla frosting. Now I only had to turn this cake into a girly cake. Pink sprinkles and a sheet of paper did the job, but I still wasn't satisfied, so I made (my first ever) fondant (a butter cream one). I was surprised how easy this fondant was to work with. I had absolutely no problems rolling and cutting it out! All the hours I watched cake boss, finally paid back haha. Well, in the end I had the best birthday cake I've ever had and will for sure make all my future birthday cakes myself :) |
Please see this recipe only as an idea! This was what I felt like, but you can seriously turn everything here into YOUR best birthday cake! Change the pudding filling to your favorite flavor, use different colors, maybe not a heart shape (circles stars, flowers), maybe not a number, but a name! You see, there are tons of possibilities! Please share your cake with me, if you try this recipe! I would love to see your creation :)
