Birthday Layer Cake {Milk Bar Monday 6/18}

birthday layer cake

Hello everyone! I hope you have been enjoying the guest post recipes this week. I know I have!

Today we are taking a little break… I am back at it with our next Milk Bar Monday installment! Our host for today was Audra and she chose the Birthday Layer Cake.

Christina Tosi’s goal with this recipe was to recreate the funfetti boxed cake mix flavors in her own way.

The bf & I thought her recipe was spot on. We both loved the cake crumb layers in with the frosting layers. It reminded me of when I used to get the crunch layer in my DQ ice cream cake.

Compared to some of our past recipes I thought this was a relatively easy one. I was able to get it all done in one go and freeze it overnight.

You can easily make this at home (with the help of a cake ring) and impress your loved ones on their next birthday.

Strawberry Frosting Recipe

Strawberry Frosting 1-2

This frosting is surprisingly addicting.

I was worried the fresh strawberries would have a negative effect on the sugar and butter, but it is delicious.

And besides being delicious, it is so fast and easy!

This is the frosting recipe I used for my sister’s 16th birthday strawberry cupcakes. They were a huge hit!

I imagine this recipe would be good on just about any cupcake, cake or cookie you can think of. If you experiment with flavor combinations leave me a comment or e-mail me about it!
