Want to make your Easter cake look special? Check out the hack we discovered.
Want to learn how to make a store-bought cake look fancy and homemade with no trouble? We got our inspiration from The Cake Blog (thank you) … And the results were amazing!
When you don’t have time to make a cake from scratch, you can run to the store and purchase a store-bought cake.
You will need:
White frosting
Blue food coloring
Vanilla extract
Cocoa powder
You have two options: you can purchase a plain cake without frosting, or, if your cake has frosting and designs, leave the frosting and remove any designs so you have a flat cake surface and place it in the freezer until the frosting begins to harden. Then, all you have to do is make the white frosting that you purchased into the desired blue tone by adding the blue food coloring SLOWLY. You want it to look like the color of a Robin’s egg. Cover the cake with the new frosting. If you have an offset spatula, it works great. To help smooth the frosting, run the spatula under warm water and then pat dry. Add decorations to the top of your frosted cake.
In a small cup, mix 1 ½ tsp. of vanilla extract with 1 tbsp. cocoa powder. Using any little brush, like a kid’s paintbrush or a makeup brush, dip the brush into the cocoa mixture and flick the brush bristles toward the cake until you achieve the marble effect.
Now, we are warning you this will get messy! But it is well worth it.
Have fun with this!
