I want to make my 5year old daughter a lovely pink birthday cake! Any ideas? ps it has to be easy!!!?

Answer 1

Fairy castle type thing?? Cover ice cream cones in pink icing and set into a basic fruit cake!

Answer 2

why don tyou get a photo printed on a cake from Asda? You take a photo along and they scan it and print it on icing and... hey presto... FaceCake (lol). Its only about £8.00. I'm loving it right now... all my mates have had one for their birthdays this year. Its great 'coz u can photo shop things and print them out and cake-it.

Alternatively the gadget shop do a castle cake mould. Its very funky.

If you just want an easy home-made cake why not try a simple sponge. Cook in square or rectangle cake/bread tins and then make it into a big pink sweety house/princess castle. You can cover it with coloured pre-rolled icing from your local supermarket. Chocolate fingers or pink wafer biscuits make excellent roof tiles. You can buy food-dye pens and neat little coloured icing pens to add detail. With the remaining pre-rolled icing you can make little flowers, butterflys and faeries. Just go MAD!

Lol - have fun

Answer 3

Birthday Cake with Hot Pink Butter Icing





For the cake:
18 tablespoons (2 1/4 sticks) unsalted butter, at room temperature
3 cups sugar
6 extra-large eggs, at room temperature
8 ounces (about 1 cup) sour cream, at room temperature
1 1/2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
1 lemon, zested
3 cups all-purpose flour
1/3 cup cornstarch
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
For the frosting:
3/4 pound (3 sticks) unsalted butter, at room temperature
3 pounds confectioners' sugar, sifted
9 tablespoons milk
3 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
14 drops pink food coloring (rose petal shade)

Pink and white candy, for decorating


Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
Butter and flour a 9-inch cake pan, a 6-inch cake pan, and a 3-inch cake pan.

To make the cake, cream the butter and sugar on medium-high speed in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a paddle attachment until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes. On medium speed, add the eggs, 2 at a time, then the sour cream, vanilla, and lemon zest, scraping down the bowl as needed. Mix well. Sift together the flour, cornstarch, salt, and baking soda. With the mixer on low speed, slowly add the flour mixture to the butter mixture and stir just until smooth. Finish mixing by hand to be sure the batter is well mixed. Proportionately divide the batter between the 3 cake pans. Smooth the tops with a spatula, and bake as follows: the 9-inch pan for 45 minutes, the 6-inch pan for 35 to 40 minutes and the 3-inch pan for 30 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean in each cake. Cool in the pans to room temperature.

For the frosting, cream the butter in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Add the confectioners' sugar, milk, and vanilla extract. Mix on low speed for 1 to 2 minutes, until thickened. Add the food coloring and turn the mixer off. Using a spatula, fully incorporate the color into the frosting.

Frost each cake separately, saving some frosting for decoration. Chill the cakes before stacking.

Place the 9-inch cake on a plate. Center the 6-inch cake on top of the 9-inch cake. Center the 3-inch cake on top of the 6-inch cake.

For the decoration, pipe or spoon the remaining frosting around the base of each cake and around the top edge of the 3-inch cake. Finish decorating with the pieces of candy.

Answer 4

When my daughter was small, I made her a pink hat. Victoria Sponge in 2 x 7" tins (3 egg recipe), jam (raspberry or strawberry) in the middle. Put on a 12" round silver cakeboard. Made my own icing, with icing sugar, water, and small amount of red food colouring, texture that I could model with. Covered cake and cakeboard to edge, then made roses with the rest if the icing, and used them to adorn. Put the requisite number of pink candles on top. It went down well.
