Happy Sunday! This week, I worked on a cute cake for my boyfriend’s niece. She just turned 13! She loves blue so the only request was “make it blue”…..everything else was up to me :)
I love polka dots, so I decided to do blue dots in several shades of blue. The birthday girl loves chocolate (I mean really, what girl doesn’t?), so I had to make it a chocolate cake. And wow, is that chocolate cake good. It’s such a simple recipe, but so moist and chocolately! I couldn’t stop snacking on the cake trimmings!
Even though I would have loved to do chocolate frosting or even ganache (yum!), I wanted the blue to really pop so I settled for vanilla buttercream so it would be white.
After frosting the cake, I cut out a bunch of circles in four shades of blue. A little tip: you can use a #10 piping tip to cut out circles too. The small piping end makes really great small circles and the larger end can be used to make slightly larger circles too. No need to buy more small cutters!
After I laid on all the dots, I mixed up some blue buttercream to write on the cake.
And ta-da! The finished product!
