Scrambled: Creative cakes

Capture the spring spirit with this bunny shaped cake.
One of my all time favorite cooking shows is Cake Boss. I think the major reason I like it so much is because I’m such a horrible artist. It amazes me that the chefs are able to make such extravagant creations out of cake, and I secretly wish that I was artistic enough to make cakes like theirs.

This week, I decided to try out my decorating skills and attempted to make a cake that wasn’t just the classic two-layered circle. It didn’t quite turn out like a Buddy Valastro masterpiece, but it was pretty good, considering my lack of artistic talent.

In honor of Easter, I choose to make the cake in the shape of a bunny head. I poured my cake batter into two 8” circle pans and while I waited for them to bake, I began to brainstorm about how I would go about decorating this cake. I have to admit, I did do a little Googling to help me get the general idea of what to do.

When the cakes were done cooking and cooling, I began to make my creation. I started by cutting one of the circle cakes in half and then shaped the halves so that they looked more like bunny ears. I placed the ears above the other full circle and then proceeded to frost the entire cake using white frosting.

I prefer the taste of homemade frosting to store bought, so here’s a good recipe for vanilla frosting.

I didn’t go too crazy with the decorations: I used two vanilla wafers for the eyes and pink decorating gel to make the nose and the inside of the bunny’s ears pink. It wasn’t perfect, but I wouldn’t consider it a disaster, especially because in the end it still tasted good.

Enjoy!
