Any cute/girly birthday cake ideas?

Thursday, May 27th, 2010

My step-daughter is coming up for a visit next month and we will be celebrating her 4th birthday while she is here. I want to make as much stuff as I can b/c I want it to be really personal and creative and I want her to be able to help me make some of the things (I’m not going to let her know they’re for her birthday party, though). I saw an idea for a birthday cake in a parenting magazine that I thought was really cute: choose whichever flavor cake mix you (or the child) like, bake it in a 13×9 in. pan, spread white icing over it, use Fruit Roll-Up strips to decorate it like ribbon wrapping on a present, and then place Sprees all over it to give it a polka-dot wrapping paper look
(I put this in here incase anyone else could use that idea)
Does anyone else have anymore cute cake ideas that are fairly easy but will be “cool-looking” to a toddler?? Thanks in advance!!

I know most people do lemon cake with lemon filling and I have heard of angel food cake with lemon filling, but niether of those really appeal to me– any other suggestions? Maybe ones you’ve had or tried? Thanks!

Looking for a good cake recipe?

Monday, February 8th, 2010

I’m looking for a good, fairly simple cake recipe to prepare for a birthday that is coming up this week. Preferably chocolate, but any kind of cake will do. Just no carrot cake or banana flavor cake or whatnot, please. Also, I’d like to avoid using shortening if possible. I only have a 9×13 pan, but I could possibly get an 8×8 if necessary. So a recipe that yields in one of those two, please! Thank you soo much!
