Sprinkles & Metallic Mini Cake

Tagged in: baking | Cake15 comments

Hello there! If you are new here, you might want to subscribe to the RSS feed for updates on this topic.

This is the mini cake I made for my little since she turned 27 months the same day, Vic’s birthday.

I baked a cake on a regular 9 inch pan and used a circle cutter to cut circles and layered them and form the mini cake. It didn’t turned out perfect and it was a little uneven but it turned out pretty.

For the banner, I used a gray satin ribbon and used two lolipop pop sticks.

To make it metallic, I used silver dust and peppermint extract. Simply, add a couple of drops of extract to silver dust. The extract will dry out so keep adding drops of extract to keep it at a paint consistency.

The dust can be found at JoaAnn’s for about $5 or at your local bakery supply store.

She loved the cake, specially the sprinkles.
