I decided to make the most awesome cake for Easter. I found the recipe
here and I just had to share. I have never made anything quite like it. Believe me when I tell you it was a massive, I mean a MASSIVE cake! It was super easy, though a bit time consuming, and loved by all!
Isn't she pretty? I am not sure you can tell the massive size from this picture. And, frankly, I didn't realize how big this baby would be!
Now of course I am well aware that my cake is not nearly as pretty as
I am Baker's but she sure did taste amazing and I think she looks okay!
Here's what you'll need:
- Box of Red Velvet Cake Mix
- Box of White or Yellow Cake Mix
- Whipped Cream
- Strawberries
And that's it! Couldn't be much easier! Now here's an awesome tip for you that I read on someone's blog (and I am sorry I can't remember where) and that I googled too. Prepare your cake mix as usual but replace the water with Buttermilk! Yep, buttermilk. It makes the cake sinfully moist! And, I always undercook my cakes a wee bit because I can't stand a dry cake. Trust me, the buttermilk works so well!
So prepare your cakes as directed, in 9" pans. Cool and you're ready to assemble.
Start with whatever layer you want - as you can see I chose the red velvet. Next, layer with whipped cream and then strawberries. Repeat with each layer, until it looks like:
This! Now, I think this is pretty like this but I wanted to cover the entire cake with whipped cream.
Like so. I threw some large chocolate chunks that I had on top. I am thinking I might add them in between each layer or in the vanilla layers next time I make this. Oh yea, there will be a next time!
I don't think that this picture really shows the visible appeal of this cake. It has it all - beauty and taste!
Did I mention that is was delicious? A big hit in my family for sure!!! Go a head and give it a try!
Have a happy week!

Buttermilk! That is a great tip. This cake is great looking so much of it and the different colored layers adds to the appeal as well.

I went to Doll House to get my dress and they promised they would get it in. I was so upset when they didn’t come through for me so I went Sassy Boutique. They were able to get my dress within three 3 days. They had wonderful customer service and nothing was a problem for them. I really appreciated the effort they made to make my night memorable. i will never go to dollhouse again.
