Mickey Mouse Cake
Since I have no intentions of serving anyone a huge black cake ever (black icing is so so gross), I had to come up with a solution. I did regular buttercream with small black Mickey Mouse outlines and blue and green dots. She loved it.
I’ve never made two layer cakes for a party. I normally do cupcakes, but since I wasn’t doing a full-blowout-character cake I wanted a little extra something. I used my go to cake batter for cupcakes, and changed it a bit so that it was chocolate instead of regular vanilla. (Kendra wanted chocolate).
I must tell you this, I have tried two layer cakes with other batters and boxed cake mix alone and failed. But this cake batter made this cake a huge success. I will be using it for cakes from now on.
