This idea for a cake is so sweet! This would be perfect for a baby shower or even your little ones first birthday party!! You use frozen, store-bought or homemade pound cakes cut in half to make blocks and then frost with b-a-b-y or the baby/child's name that the party is celebrating!! NOTE: the quantity of cakes and frosting depends on how many blocks you need to spell out the name. Ingredients:
2 (10 3/4 ounce) frozen poundcake, thawed |
white frosting |
food coloring |
Directions:
1. Make or buy a minimum of 2 pound cakes (quantity depends on how big of a name you are spelling).
2. Slice in half width-wise and shave sides and top accordingly to make a cube.
3. Color appropriate amount of white frosting with food coloring to make pink, blue or whatever colors blocks you want.
4. Frost all sides but the bottom of the blocks with the colored frosting.
5. Using a frosting gun or a ziploc (with tip cut) filled with remaining white frosting - write the first letter on all sides, including the top of the block.
6. Repeat with the additional blocks by finishing out the name you are using.
7. Arrange blocks to spell out the name on a beautiful platter and getting ready for the compliments!
8. NOTE: You could also bake 2 13x9 cakes and cut into cubes and make the blocks 2-layers stacked.
9. You could get even fancier and pipe the contrasting color of frosting onto the edges/trim of the blocks to define them more.
10. Or you could decorate the blocks with the white frosting and spell the baby's name out with the color-tinted frosting.
11. The possibilities are endless!
