Categories     dessert

Time 3h15m

Yield 16 servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

Two 15-ounce boxes chocolate cake mix plus required ingredients
Four 16-ounce containers store-bought vanilla frosting (8 cups)
Blue gel food coloring, for the frosting
2 cups white and blue candy-coated chocolates, such as M&M's
7 ounces sweetened shredded coconut

Steps:

  • Prepare the cake mix according to the package instructions and bake it in a doll dress cake pan. Let cool for 10 minutes.
  • While the cake is still in the pan, trim off the top, using the edge of the pan as a guide. This will give you a flat top. Invert the cake onto a cooling rack and let cool completely.
  • Meanwhile, transfer the frosting to a large bowl and mix with an electric mixer on medium speed, adding a couple of drops of food coloring at a time to achieve the desired shade of blue.
  • Cut the cake horizontally into 4 layers using a long serrated knife. Use a 4-inch round cutter to cut a hole in the center of the 2 largest layers on the bottom. Reserve the cutouts.
  • Place the bottom layer on a cake board or cake plate and frost the top with the frosting. Place the second cake layer on top, so that the sides and center holes line up. Fill the well in the cake with the candy-coated chocolates. Frost the top of the second layer, and place the third layer on top. Repeat with the frosting and top cake layer. Using a limited amount of frosting, frost a thin crumb coat over the cake. Refrigerate to firm up, about 30 minutes. Frost the cake with more frosting.
  • Fit a pastry bag with a coupler (or you can use multiple piping bags). Fit the bag with a large star tip and fill the bag with frosting. (See Cook's Note.)
  • Use a butter knife to lightly score 5 evenly-spaced vertical lines down the side of the cake. Using the pastry bag with the large star tip and following one of the scored lines from top to bottom, pipe overlapping diagonal 2-inch mounds of frosting, lifting and pulling down in alternating directions to make a braid. Repeat the pattern down the remaining scored lines.
  • Switch to a smaller star tip on the pastry bag. Working from the top of the cake down, pipe overlapping semi-circles between each of the braided lines. Repeat around the rest of the cake.
  • Switch to a small plain round tip on the pastry bag. Pipe straight lines down both sides of each semi-circle line. Next to these, pipe lines of dots, starting from the top to the bottom. Next to these, pipe straight lines. Repeat around the cake.
  • To make the pom-pom on top of the cake, mix the reserved cake cutouts with 1/4 cup frosting in a medium bowl until mostly smooth. Form a cake ball the size of a baseball and refrigerate it on a plate until firm, about 10 minutes.
  • Place the coconut in a 1-gallon resealable plastic bag and add 2 drops of blue food coloring. Shake the bag to color the coconut. Remove half the coconut to a shallow bowl. Add 6 more drops of the food coloring to the remaining coconut in the bag. Shake the bag to color the coconut and transfer it to a second shallow bowl.
  • Roll the cake ball in the dark blue coconut followed by the light blue coconut until fully coated. Place the cake ball on top of the cake. Press the remaining coconut around the bottom of the cake to form the trim.

WINTER HAT CAKE



Winter Hat Cake image

Provided by Buddy Valastro

Categories     dessert

Time 1h

Yield 1 winter cake hat

Number Of Ingredients 4

3 layers of a 6-inch cake of your choice, stacked with a layer of buttercream in between
4 cups buttercream
Royal blue gel food coloring
3 ounces white fondant

Steps:

  • Using a paring knife, start carving the top edge of your cake to round it off. Continue carving about an inch down the cake to create a rounded hat shape. Crumb coat in a thin layer of buttercream. Use the flexible cardstock to smooth over the curved edge to help the cake maintain its shape. Refrigerate for 20 minutes.
  • While chilling, mix three-quarters of your buttercream in a bowl with a few drops of blue food coloring. Put into a pastry bag with a coupler and a small star tip. Put the remaining white buttercream into a pastry bag with a coupler and a plain tip.
  • Take the cake out of the refrigerator. Use a snowflake cookie cutter to imprint outlines and make templates for the pattern onto the sides of the cake. Starting with inside your imprint lines, use the white buttercream to fill in the shape with dots of buttercream.
  • Once all your snowflakes are filled in, use your blue buttercream tip to create a herringbone pattern around the whole hat from top to bottom. Add a braided teardrop shape to accent.
  • Pipe a star tip shell border to represent the brim of the hat.
  • Roll your white fondant into a ball and place it on the top of your hat. Using the small grass tip, pipe long "fur" onto the fondant to completely cover it.
