I love cake! And, by now you guys should know I love things little, too. So, I made some mini cakes using my new favorite moist yellow cake recipe. Actually I made 9″ cakes and used a round cutter
to make them mini. Two layers will get you six 3 7/16″ cake circles and two smaller circles. Here’s how one of the layers looks all cut up.
And here they are stacked. They’re so cute… even without any frosting. (Don’t worry the scraps made it safely to my tummy.)
But, who would serve a naked cake. So here it is fully clothed in luscious white buttercream frosting. Hold me back!
I started out making the fondant
covered cake that’s on the pedestal (inspired by a pillow fabric from an old Pottery Barn catalog. Yep… I love their stuff.) Then, I made the second one using decorator icing bags
and tips. Then I got tired and just slapped some buttercream all over the last one. And, I have to admit, I think it’s my favorite. But, tell me what you think.
How do you like your cakes decorated?
Messy: casual and careless
Sassy: semi-casual, piped with pretty icing and flirty flowers
Classy: all dressed up with fondant cutouts and a smooth finish

CLASSY!!! so chic : )
I love all three of them, but messy is definitely my style!!
Sorry the comment by anonomous was me !!! sorry
I think that the classy is beautiful!!!!!! They all look absolutely scrumptious ! xxx
My favorite baking memory would probably be when I earned to make bread with my uncleI was twelve but the aroma that filled the air that day is one I will never forget especially because he passed away soon after and now I wish I would have written down all the things he shared with me about baking it’s so important to lear from those that have experienc because they can also get passed down fron person to person, miss him butb ow baking is even more treasured and I can show my son how I do it.
I love classy but the kind of cake I usually make is messy.
Sassy is soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo pretty.
i love these. they are so adorable. i would use use them whenever i bake. i would have to say that the sassy cake is definantly my type
When Cooking For 2 magazine was around, I ordered tiny cake pans that should be perfect for this. Yours are so beautifully decorated! I want to try this!
I just love EVERYTHING you make…I’m trying to make something for my sister and i think she would totally LOVE this!! thanks:D
I’m gonna go with Sassy! I wish I could pipe like that <3
I like what you’ve done with the cakes … but I have to say that ‘SASSY’ has to be my favourite. I like the vibrant colour and the piping patterns.
Classy and messy! I love design and looks, but the flavor is VERY important! *wink wink!*
Can’t decide! I like yummy….I like decorated a bit….I love pretty patterns…..
gotta make the sassy..
but eat the nommy messy.. :)
That’s a great idea to use cake scraps. I have so many cake stuff in the freezer and my husband is getting annoyed and irritated that they just sit there and chill. He can’t use the freezer for meat stuff.
I was also thinking of giving them away as a thank you “cake” for our wedding. I admire you for the cute stuff you make.
Gaaah…..um…….I dont know…..Classy..
hmm…which one do I like? All of them? :D but if I had to choose one? Hmm…it’s gonna be….SASSY!! XD It looks SO pretty!! XP
i love baking cakes espechilly ……i am a 11 years old chef……..PLEASZZZZZZZZZZZZ….READ.
this is first time comment *o*
hi angie simply lov all ur stuff but plz post a recipe of eggless red velvet cake. coz im a vegetarian n secondly we dont get this cake mix in ready to use packs….n also which else frosting can b used instaed of cram cheese…..as we also dont get them here.thx n keep baking
Sassy ALL THE WAY!
though messy looks much more enjoyable to eat, i think sassy describes me the best!
the only problem is that i will be afraid to even touch it after decorating a cake like that… for me that is probably a pretty high achievement!
Anything is fine because at the end the cake is going to end up in your tummy so I pick all 3! 3-of-a-kind!
Those cakes all look cute, definitely! But I feel like I would doll up my cake the SASSY way. The messy is too messy for me, and the classy is too clean. Haha! Eating cake has always been a delight. :) Thanks for this!
messy. yummy :)
I’m classy…. but when I bake I’m messy =)
Gosh Sassy! It’s soooo cute!
Has to be classy for me, but could you save me a slice of messy too? ;)
Thanks your recipes are all great xx
Messy!! I love the others too but I am a messy clumsy girl:)
They all are great for different reasons, but I would choose the “messy” as my personal pic. I am not a fan of fondant – although they look great – they do not taste as good as the buttercream.
i am definitely sassy want perfect piping but being classic
I love the classy and the messy.
I could not just pick one. I love sassy and classy. Yummy!
All three look gorgeous! But I have to say that messy is more my way ^o^
I love the 2nd one!
Depends what it is for usually but my favourite is classy!
Sassy <3
They all look so cute and yummy, but my favorite is sassy!
