How to Make a Smash Cake

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.

    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.

    What lovely cakes! Don't worry about the cakes being pink though. Up until the 1900s boys and girls wore white frilly dresses that made diaper changes easier and could be bleached for when things whent horribly wrong, if you know what I mean. Then pastels came into fashion but weren't yet gender assigned. It wasn't really until the 1940s that clothes manufacturers decided who got which color. That was quickly disrupted by 60s and 70s where yet again unisex clothes were in the spotlight. Then with the widespread use of ultrasounds to know the sex of your baby parents again flocked to the blue for boys and pink for girls trope to decorate the nurseries which is silly. I hope the boys enjoyed their cakes!
