  • How to Make a Smash Cake
    Full Recipe: preppykitchen....
    What could be more exciting than a first birthday? Two first birthdays!! My twins turned one and you know I went all out for their smash cakes! I made my favorite vanilla cake but this time as a two layer cake with nice mega-fluffy layers and then covered it in a simple but delicious strawberry buttercream and of course I had to top it with beautiful buttercream roses. Sorry boys, you're getting pink cakes!
    UPDATE: Milk and sour cream should equal 1 cup or 240ml.

    I made these for my twins’ third birthday, and I hereby dub you the baking king! Lol this was the absolute fluffiest most delicious cake I’ve ever baked. It’s not too sweet or dense. It’s light, airy, and just perfect! I made it with the egg whites and I can’t tell you how perfectly they turned out! Thank you so much! Now I’m going to cry bc my babies are turning 3! 🥲

      Preppy Kitchen Oh yeah! Many parents just bake a simple cake, throw some frosting on it, usually chocolate bc it makes the mess appear worse for pictures 😉, And the nicely decorated cake is reserved for the guests.

    this cake it's so beautiful, those roses 😍😍😍😍 matcha powder it's such a wonderful idea for the leaves, gives a nice color to it and a different flavor. To sad we don't get to see the babies smashing the cake😍😍

    I tried these and they turned out perfect! The fluffiest and the most perfect evenly baked cake. Thanks for the recipe and the foil trick. It’s really a game changer for me. Could you also share a video of making a rainbow cake please? I’m planning one for my daughters birthday

    Have you tried adding freeze-dried strawberries to the buttercream? I put it through the food processor first. The buttercream has a different texture than if I add jelly. I enjoy watching your videos. Keep up the great work!

    • @ellemelbaus1129
      @ellemelbaus1129 6 років тому +3

      Galen Kerrick , I purchased the Wilton strips after seeing them being used by Preppy Kitchen and absolutely love them. Can't believe I didn't know of their existence (and I've been baking for many years!) and they work. I'm in Australia and paid about $25 AUD for a pack which contains two strips.

    Okay! So I used these amounts in your recipe to make 2 9 inch cakes. My cakes are still not as fluffy as I'd like them to be. They are a little heavy and I wish they were just more airy and lighter. BUT they are super moist!

What a moist and flavorful cake the recipe gave me. Don't understand all the baking science, but can't wait to try some of your other recipes! Big thanks!

    Wow I love your decorating a lot. Can you please take a picture when you cut the cakes ? I have skipped the video to see how insides the cakes are. I don't know why I am too excited to see the insides before watching the whole videos while I have already bookmarked your videos and I will certainly make those later.

    I love all your videos UA-cam & Instagram! I stop and watch every one I see. You’re decorations are also my favorite by far and the cakes or whatever recipe you’re making looks so good! I was wondering, if you wanted to try something different out. If you would consider making a paleo cake. I’m sure I’d love anything you came up with!

    • @hailhannahgail
      @hailhannahgail 6 років тому +1

      Preppy Kitchen so ideally you want to eat whole unprocessed foods. So no grains or dairy but things in place of it like almond or coconut flour and coconut milk. There’s even coconut sugar!

    Oookkkaaaayyyy. This is exactly what I made for my daughters smash cake. Except the frosting didn't look like yours at all. It tastes like straight butter. I followed your recipe to the T. I had that nice "marshmallow-y" texture after taking it off the heat, and then I beat it until I got a soft peak. Once I added the butter it got super liquidy and then once I finished adding all the butter, it looked like whipped butter. Exactly like butter, to the point where it was sliding off the sides of my stainless steel mixer. Where did I go wrong?
