Ingredients
Scale
- 1 box of your favorite cake mix (vanilla or chocolate recommended)
- Ingredients listed on the cake mix box (usually eggs, oil, and water)
- 1 container of pre-made frosting (vanilla or your preferred flavor)
- Food coloring (optional, for tinting the frosting)
- Sprinkles or other decorations (e.g., baby-themed fondant cutouts)
Instructions
- Prepare the Cake Batter: Combine the cake mix with the ingredients specified on the box. Mix well until smooth.
- Bake the Cake: Preheat the oven as directed on the box. Grease and flour cake pans, then pour in the batter evenly. Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Cool the Cake: Let the cake cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then invert onto a cooling rack to cool completely.
- Frost and Decorate: Place one cake layer on a plate and frost the top. Add the second layer and frost the entire cake. Decorate with sprinkles, fondant cutouts, or any desired decorations.
Notes
- Use a cake mix extender like sour cream or mayonnaise for a moister cake.
- Chill the cake for 30 minutes before frosting for a professional look.
- Use a simple drip technique with melted chocolate or candy melts if frosting is challenging.
- Store-bought decorations save time and effort.
