How to Make a Kawaii Froot Loop Rainbow Stripe Cake!

July 1, 2019

Hiiiiii there and welcome back!! 😊 Hope you’re all doing well!! I’ve just wrapped up my sophomore year of college–can’t believe how fast time flies. To celebrate the summer, today we’re making this adorable Froot Loop flavored rainbow cake with colorful stripes around the outside. Not only does this guy look adorable, but the flavor is amazing too. Tastes just like Froot Loop 🙂 And just because the Froot Loop crumbs tend to absorb moisture, I recommend baking and serving this cake on the same day if possible. Okie that’s it, hope y’all enjoy the video!! ❤️

Instructions
Cereal Cake
  1. In a medium bowl, mix together the buttermilk and whole Froot Loops. Let sit for 1 hour to “steep” the milk with the cereal, then strain out the Froot Loops .
  2. Preheat the oven to 350F and spray three 6” round cake pans with cooking spray. Line the bottoms of the pans with parchment paper, then spray again.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  4. Add the softened cubed butter to the dry ingredients and, using an electric mixer, blend for about 4 minutes until the mixture resembles coarse sand.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, cereal milk, canola oil, and vanilla. Pour the wet ingredients into the butter/flour mixture and fold to combine.
  6. Fold in the Froot Loop crumbs.
  7. Divide the batter between the pans, then bake for until a toothpick inserted into the centers of the cakes come out clean, 35 to 40 minutes. Let the cakes cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then run a knife around the edges of the pans and turn them out onto a cooling rack. Peel the parchment paper off the backs of the cakes.
  8. Let cool completely, then level off the cakes using a large serrated knife or wire cake leveler.
Buttercream Frosting
  1. In a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the butter on high speed until smooth. Reduce the speed to low, then slowly add in the powdered sugar, about one cup at at time. Beat in the vanilla and 4 tablespoons of milk.
  2. Turn the mixer up to medium-high speed and beat until the frosting is light and fluffy, about 3 minutes.
  3. Color about 3-4 tablespoons each of pink, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple. Leave the remaining frosting white.

Instructions
Vanilla Cake
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Spray six 6-inch round cake pans with cooking spray. Line the pans with parchment paper and lightly spray again. If you don't have six pans, you will have to bake the batter in batches. Note that this may mean the last batch of cakes may come out slightly flatter than the first batch.

  2. In a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, combine the cake flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt on low speed until well mixed, about 1 minute. With the mixer running on low speed, add the butter and beat until the mixture resembles coarse sand, about 4 minutes.

  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, buttermilk, oil, and vanilla. With the mixer running on low speed, gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, and beat just until combined.

  4. Divide the batter evenly between six bowls, then color one of each bowl pink, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple. Pour one color of batter into each pan and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

  5. Let the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes. Then run a knife around the edges of the pans and turn the cakes out onto a cooling rack. Peel off the parchment paper and let cool completely.

Buttercream Frosting
  1. In a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the butter on high speed until smooth, about 1 minute. Reduce the speed to low, gradually add the confectioners’ sugar, and beat until combined. Beat in the vanilla and milk until combined. Scrape down the sides of the bowl. Beat the frosting on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes.

  2. Use approximately 2/3 of the frosting to frost the white portion of the unicorn and the remaining frosting for the mane. For the mane frosting, color the frosting as desired (I split the frosting into three and colored one of each pink, purple, and blue)

Giant Tie-Dye Cupcake

October 23, 2017

Helloooo there!! Today we’re making a GIANT tie-dye cupcake in celebration of #BakeAChange with She’s the First! She’s the First is an organization that fights gender inequality through education, and from Oct 23rd to Nov 1st, YOU can join the effort! Check out the links below to learn how to host your own bake sale to fundraise for girls’ education in low-income countries! Enjoy, and make sure to share pictures of your treats on Facebook and Instagram with the hashtag #kawaiisweetworld!

HOST YOUR OWN BAKE SALE: https://shesthefirst.org/cupcakes

If you host your own bake sale, PLEASE make sure to tag me so I can see/like/comment/shower-you-with-love-and-compliments!!

IN CASE YOU’RE CURIOUS…

Q: How did you get involved with She’s the First?

A: Tammy Tibbetts, the wonderful/kind/amazing/inspiring and co-founder/CEO of She’s the First reached out to me last year about getting involved with their #BakeAChange campaign, and after learning more about it, I said “YES ABSOLUTELY!” 😀 I love how She’s the First combines lots of causes that matter to me — gender inequality, education, and assistance for low-income countries.

As I mentioned in the video, education is a huge part of my own life. I was super shy growing up, and succeeding in school largely helped foster my confidence. The same effect can help girls in low-income countries, where access to education is far more difficult than in the US. It’s not just about learning math, science, and reading — even though those topics are important. But beyond the subject matter, education gives girls the confidence inside the classroom to lead outside in their own communities. I highly encourage you to check out the She’s the First website and learn more about the incredible work they do!!
