    Cute and Easy New Year's Eve Cake

     

     

    [fvplayer id="45"]

    Materials: 

    For this cake, I used a double barrel cake design, but this design could be adjusted to fit any size of cake. I used four 6 inch cake layers with a cake cardboard halfway up, and four bubble tea straw supports beneath it, cut to the height of the first two (filled) cake layers.

    Vanilla Buttercream of Choice- We used the fluffy vanilla buttercream recipe from our recipes section but our classic vanilla recipe is a good choice too.

    Candy coating or fondant for numbers- We used melted Candiquik. 

    Mold for numbers. (You can improvise by extruding/rolling and shaping fondant into numbers or doing cut outs. You could also pipe the numbers in melted candy coating onto a parchment lined cookie sheet and chill)

    Coloring Gels- Use whatever colors you like- We used Wilton Rose and Leaf Green

    Sugar Pearls/Sprinkles of choice (optional)

    Gold Luster Dust- Make sure to remove your gold decorations before serving if your luster dust isn't food safe. Also, there's no need to dust the backs of your numbers.

    Small offset spatula

    Piping Tips: I used a Wilton 8B for the stars around the top, and a tip 12 for the ball border around the base.

    Party horns/squawkers, etc. for the top! ;0)

    Miscellaneous: Disposable piping bags, turntable, bench scraper, pedestal/cake base of choice,
