This will prevent the cake from “crumbing” into the frosting. It’s crumb coat time! I always like to shout out a reminder to put the cake into the fridge for 30 minutes before adding the top coat of frosting. Repeat for the second layer of cake, then place the third cake on top. You want to make sure the frosting is coming out thick, about a 1.5″ border. You can cut the tip of the pastry bag about 1/2″ from the end, no frosting tips needed, and fill a bag with frosting and another bag with jam.įor the first or bottom layer of cake, use a piping bag with frosting to outline the edge, and a second piping bag of jam to fill the center. I used local jam made by uber popular Sqirl here in Los Angeles. This is a simple frosting recipe made up of unsalted butter, confectioners’ sugar, vanilla and salt, but the special ingredient is 2 tablespoons of strawberry rhubarb jam. The recipe calls for three 6″ cake rounds, and guess what you’re slathering between the layers? Yep, a buttery frosting and strawberry rhubarb jam. Every delicious bite is dense with milk and butter, plus a hint of strawberry from the strawberry powder. Thanks to my friend and fellow blogger, Liv for Cake, for the strawberry cake recipe. Phoebe: I hope you love this summertime strawberry cake with a pretty pink bird on top! The flamingo and palm tree toppers surrounded by colorful sprinkles were a dash of fun that I just couldn’t resist.
#PINK FLAMINGO BIRTHDAY CAKE FULL#
The cake itself is pink because of added strawberry powder, and the buttercream frosting is chock full of strawberry rhubarb jam from a local artisan.
A friend of mine has a 6-year-old daughter named Phoebe, and was delighted to hear that I was dedicating this fun post just for her. With summer on the brain, I had this vision of a Pink Strawberry Flamingo Cake but needed to find someone who was just as sweet (and who adored pink!) to make it for.
