Homemade Twins Birthday Cake
I made this Twins birthday cake for my dad's birthday today. I just used a 12 inch circle cake pan. Baked a chocolate cake with chocolate chips, let cool and flipped to have a flat surface to work on.
I printed out a Twins logo I found online and cut around the edges. Next I laid my paper on my cake, took a toothpick to trace my cut out and went on to frosting. I used bought precolored frosting for the red and blue and made the white myself.
Thinking about making a Cardinals cake next weekend for my brother-in-law's birthday. I will use the same technique. It was a hit and very tasty!
I have also used the same cake pan and used cut out flowers from my Cricut machine to make a flower cake for my sister. My Cricut works great for this kind of project, it is fast, accurate and I can make my designs the size I want. I am a beginner to all this cake making stuff but have been really enjoying this venture.
