4th of July

I used Ann Reardon's You Tube Video on  How to cook that Video.  I took a few pictures of the steps below.  It was easier then I thought it would be, which was great! For the icing I put three individual bags of icing inside a larger bag and used the 1M tip to swirl the top with festive 4th of July colors.  Fourth of July Fun!

Surprise inside Cake

I've been wanting to make a surprise inside cake ever since I signed up for the craftsy class by Amanda Rettke. I Love her blog (Iambaker) and of course follow it regularly.  I'm not sure how she can have so many creative ideas week after week. It is amazing...    I was excited when Sara asked me to make a cake for her sister's Sprinkle shower.   Since Sara is an amazing shower/party planner I knew I had to "step it up" for the cake...   Here is Baby Nora's Surprise inside Sprinkle cake...

I used the twice baked method for the letters- It was cake mixed with frosting to a playdough consistency.  I then cut 30 of each letter.

Here are the letters all lined us.  You place the cake batter all around to fill in so when it baked it envelopes the letters.

 Since it was a sprinkle I had to have sprinkles inside and outside of the cake.  I also had sprinkles in every corner of my kitchen after it was all done... :)

The end result...   So exited that it worked!
