For Ms Mary’s birthday, Becca and I asked what she might want. She replied, Funfetti, or if you’re up for a challenge, ombr\u00e9 cake, but REALLY whatever is easier!<\/em><\/p>\n

Challenge, accepted. This is the recipe I used<\/a>, which was quite easy to make.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Make the cake, duh. Then, portion it out in five parts. We weighed it, per the instructions, and I think it went alright.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

We used Wilton Food Gels<\/a>\u00a0of which I have twelve colors. For this, we used the teal. It came out mostly green, but I think that was OK, too (right Mary….Mary??)<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Portion out the cakes into your pans. Luckily, between Becca and I we have at least five tins, so we could put ’em in at the same time. We buttered, parchment-ed, and buttered again for good measure.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The only took about 25 minutes to bake in my somehow always slow oven! Mmmm, cake.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Let them cool, and then you can stack and frost. Only, instead of frosting, we used raspberry preserves that Melissa and I canned last summer.<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Now for the real icing. We dyed the icing yellow, since a) Mary loves yellow and b) we couldn’t figure out a way to get the sprinkles on the sides without staying up all night and resigning my dining room floor to being technicolor for the rest of its days.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Here are Becca and I, hard at work putting sprinkles on just the top.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Here is Ms Mary with her cake on birthday-day. We ended up color coordinating (Mary and I by accident, Becca on purpose.)<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Delicious, wonderful cake.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Overall, this cake was easy to make and beautiful! I loved the idea of using jam instead of frosting – it added an extra something <\/em>to the cake!<\/p>\n

What is your favorite ombr\u00e9 cake you’ve seen? Do you have a color you’d like to see?<\/p>\n
