How to Make an Easter Chick Cake

 

 

What Do You Need?

• For the cake...
• Cake Mix (White or Yellow)
• Yellow Food Coloring
• 3 Eggs
• 1 cup Water
• 1/4 cup Oil
• Buttercream Frosting
• 1 Stick of Butter
• 1/2 Stick of Shortening
• 4 cups Powdered Sugar
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla
• Yellow and Orange Food Coloring
• 1/8 teaspoon Salt
• 2 or 3 tablespoons Water
• Decorations
• 2 Chocolate Kisses
• Yellow Sprinkles
• Yellow Frosting
• Orange Frosting

 

How?

• To make the cake follow the directions on the cake box and then add a few drops of yellow food coloring until it is a yellow shade you like. Bake the cake in two round pans according to the box directions.
• To make the frosting
• First, cream together the butter and shortening
• Next add the vanilla and salt
• Slowly add in the powdered sugar
• After everything is mixed together add in a little bit of water at a time to make it a spreadable consistency
• Add yellow food coloring until it is the desired color

 

How to Stack and Decorate the Cake?

• First, while the cakes are slightly warm flip them onto plates to remove them from the pan.
• Second, cut the rounded top off of one of the cakes.
• Third, after the two cakes have cooled completely, place the cut cake on the serving platter and then spread a thin layer of frosting on the top to form a seal between the two cakes. After you have the layer of frosting put the other cake on top rounded side up.
• Fourth, it is time to frost the cake. (Save a little bit of frosting to color orange) Place most (save a little big of yellow) of the frosting and work it around until the entire cake is covered.
• Fifth, sprinkle the top of the cake with a heavy layer of yellow sprinkles
• Sixth, Color the frosting you saved orange and place into a frosting bag or a sandwich size zip-lock bag with the corner cut off. This will be used to draw the feet, nose, and wings. Place the remaining yellow frosting that you saved into a frosting bag or sandwich size zip-lock bag for the wings.
• Seventh, place the chocolate kisses about halfway in the cake and draw to dots for the eyes.
• Last, take the frosting you colored orange to draw a triangular shaped nose/mouth and three lines on the bottom made into a triangle for the feet. Then take the yellow bag and draw three lines in a triangular shape to be the wings.
