Just kidding, THIS is the easiest one! Cut into three slices, cut the middle slice in half diagonally. Discard the right slice. Using a spoon, gently smooth out the frosting. Repeat this process with the remaining frosting colors. Out of several options that I explored, this Wilton cake pan was the best I found. There were a few others but in the end, the value and numerous possibilities for the future won me over. Add cocoa powder for a delicious hit of chocolate. Replace the flour for your favorite gluten free alternative, the eggs with aquafaba or yogurt, the milk with oat or almond milk, and the butter with a vegan alternative such as coconut oil. This is a great, flexible recipe that will always turn out beautifully. Beat the cream cheese until smooth, about 2-3 minutes. Add the cold heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract to the bowl. Whisk on medium-high speed until stiff peaks form. Be careful not to over whip the heavy cream.

Next, prepare the base layer. In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, cocoa powder, and salt. Add in the shortening, eggs, and buttermilk and beat well until smooth. Decorate the cake. Once the cake is completely cool, spread frosting on top using a spatula. Use a knife to swirl the frosting around the sides. I find the best way to get cake mix into awkwardly shaped tins is by using an ice cream scoop. You have more control over it and you’re less likely to get it all over your greaseproof paper and sides.

Cupcake recipes are usually easier to follow than standard cake recipes because they require fewer ingredients. Gather your decorations. I used fresh flowers, meringue kisses, fresh fruits and macarons ( lemon macarons). Of course, you can use any combination of decorations, colors, etc. to personalize the cake for your celebration.
