Since I am always looking for ideas when it comes to my kids birthday cakes, I thought I would post what I did for Ben's birthday! I am by no means an expert, just a closet baker who enjoys trying new ideas!
These are sugar cookies with just white icing and a food pen. I won this set of food pens a long time ago and had never used them. We went with a baseball theme, since Ben is in the middle of baseball right now.
The pen worked really well, but best to use when the icing is wet and not completely set. I was impressed and thought I would buy some again when they ran out!
I saw this on pinterest (I know so 2012 to be saying found on pinterest!!) and I will say it was easy and so fun to make a cupcake cake! This was my first attempt and I am sure next time it will look better and more filled in, but I thought it wasn't too bad!
Here is the frosting recipe I used! It was super good!!
- 1 cup room temperature butter
- 3 cups powdered sugar
- 1/2 cup cocoa powder
- 4 tbsp heavy cream (or I used whipping cream since it was what I had)
Whip all this together and adjust the powdered sugar or cream to get the desired consistency and spread away! Save your leftovers and spread it between 2 graham crackers! A total childhood memory I can't get over and recreate whenever I can! YUMMY!!!
