Mini Versions of Popular and Famous Cakes!

September 3, 2017

Helllooo there! Today we have round two of mini cakes, and this time we’re taking on some of the most popular and famous bakes out there! I had lots of fun baking up and decorating these guys, and I hope you enjoy them!

Supply List — some helpful stuff for making these

  • Mini Cake Pan — this might technically be mainly for chocolate, but it’s oven-safe and great for cake too!
  • Candiquik — this is my FAVORITE for dipping/drizzling/etc. You do have to color it yourself with oil-based food color since it only comes in white and chocolate, but I promise you it is 1000000o% worth it! It’s perfect melting consistency right out of the package, and there’s no need to add canola oil or paramount crystals to thin it. And it comes in a microwave-safe tray. And you can usually find it at Safeway and Target in the baking aisle. Need I say more? ?
  • Oil-based food color set — for coloring the Candiquik
