From Grocery to Gourmet
When trying to decide what to do for Lola’s birthday cake this year I decided I wanted to try something new. To be honest I didn’t have the time or money to do a big fancy cake this year so I started thinking how I could make things easier. After some brain storming, I had a great idea! I went to my local smiths and bought a pre made cake from the bakery and got to work. My goal…? Turn this simple cake into a customized birthday cake for Lola. I actually loved how it turned out and it saved me so much time and money!
Ingredients:
- Double-layered grocery store cake
- Buttercream frosting
- Offset spatula
- Sprinkles
- Strawberries
- Candles
Instructions:
- Start buy taking the frosting off of the cake. I used an offset spatula. Be careful to not take anything else off besides the frosting.
- Cut each layer into 2- making four layers total.
- Add a layer of buttercream (I have linked the recipe I used) onto the first layer of cake. Create a dam with the frosting to help hold strawberries in place.
- Add strawberries.
- Continue steps 3 and 4 for the remaining cake layers.
- Cover your new four-layered cake in frosting, adding any designs or decorations.
