Happy Pink Sugar Dusted Cake



I recently came across a charming French blog that someone pinned on Pinterest -- Minireyve. And as I was scrolling and exploring -- 'scrollexplore' -- just made up a new word, I saw this cake o' Pink Sparkle Fun. Love the duck in the middle! LOVE the way just the edges, sides and the very middle has the pink, with other colorful sprinkles added for extra embellishment.

Darling.

A Pink and Sparkly Birthday Cake





Ever since last summer, when I first happened upon it, I have been really excited to try making My My's Strawberry Layer Cake. I'll just link you to the recipe because it's all over the internet and I don't feel the need to write it down AGAIN. One note: I made the frosting in 2 batches and gave each box of sugar its own stick of butter. So I used two sticks of butter total.

So when Julia requested a Strawberry Shortcake dolly themed birthday party, I knew that it was time to crack out this recipe and give it a whirl. Let me tell you, I was not disappointed and neither was anyone else, I promise! 

The taste is a bit. . . like something NOT found in nature, but it really was delicious. The strawberry frosting was AMAZING. My cake layers did not rise quite evenly and I was too lazy to trim them so the end result was a bit lopsided from certain angles.

The best part about the whole endeavor? When my kiddo gazed at it and said "Oh WOW!" If you want pink perfection in a cake, look no further. Don't forget pink sugar sprinkles!
