Instructions
Cake:
- Follow the Westco Extra Rich White Cake Mix bag directions for a small batch.
Assembly:
- Using a large serrated knife, slice a thin layer off the tops of the cakes to create a flat surface.
- Place 1 cake layer on your cake stand, cake turntable, or serving plate.
- Evenly cover the top with about 3/4 cup of frosting. Top with 2nd cake layer and evenly cover the top with about 3/4 cup of frosting. Top with the third cake layer. Spread the remaining frosting all over the top and sides or, to replicate the decoration in the picture.
- Refrigerate for at least 30-45 minutes before slicing. This helps the cake hold its shape when cutting.
Decorate:
- Once cake has been assembled with frosting between the layers, spread a thin layer of frosting, called a crumb coat, all over the top and sides.
- Tint frosting your desired colors (mauve and dusty pink) and a very tiny drop of green.
- Grab 3 piping bags. Fit piping bags with star piping tips. Add spoonfuls of two different colored frostings to each piping bag, alternating colors.
- Your piping bag will be marbled with different colors. (Note: We kept one piping bag only the mauve color.)
- Twist the open end of the piping bag shut and squeeze the frosting down to the tip. Squeeze some frosting onto a plate until you begin to see more than 1 color. Pipe swirls, roses, and hydrangea-looking flowers all over the cake, starting at the bottom and working your way up.
