Everyday can be a celebration with our Party Cake kits. For that small gathering or midweek celebration with family, our Party Cake kits come with everything you need to celebrate in style.

We knew that the majority of parties are held on a weekend, with lots of family and friends. But it is often not the actual date of your birthday. So what about the mid week party, the one you have with just immediate family on the actual day of your birthday, engagement or great news! We designed them with this idea in mind...

What you will need:

For the Cake:

• Roberts Edible Craft - Party Cake Kit Red Velvet
• 3 Extra Large Eggs (700g Packet)
• 1/3 Cup Vegetable Oil
• 2/3 Cup Water
• Sprinkles are included in the Party Cake Kit Red Velvet, otherwise purchase your favourite blend from our range of 120g Sprinkle Blends

For the Icing

• 100g Cream Cheese (Original block)
• 40g Unsalted Butter, softened (but not melted)
• 1 Tablespoon Milk

Equipment

• Two 6 inch x 2 inch Cake Tins lined with baking Paper

Step 1.

Get Ready and pre-heat the oven to 150 degrees Celsius, fan forced setting. Make sure your tins are lined.

Step 2.

Place the dry cake mix, eggs, oil and water into a medium sized bowl. Using a large spoon or spatula, mix until smooth.

Step 3

Divide the batter evenly into your two prepared tins. Bake for 35 minutes or until a skewer inserted into the centre of the cake comes out clean. Remove cakes from the oven, and cool in the tins for 15 minutes, before turning onto a cooling rack to cool completely.

Step 4

Place the softened butter and cream cheese into a deep mixing bowl. Using an electric mixer, mix on medium speed for 1-2 minutes untiled combined and smooth.  Scrape down the sides and base of the bowl. Add the dry icing sugar mix.  Mix on high speed for 1 minute until icing is light and fluffy.

If the weather is warm, or your icing is a little soft, place the icing in the fridge for 15 minutes to firm, prior to filling your piping bag.   We used our 14 Point Open Star 4B Piping Nozzle NS04 

Step 5 - Lets Decorate!

Trim the cake layers if required, to create a flat and even top.

Place the first cake layer onto your serving plate, cut side facing up.

Pipe small dots of icing on top.  Refrigerate for 10 minutes until the icing sets firm so it will hold its shape when the second layer is placed on top.

Carefully place the second cake layer on top, cut side facing down.

Spread a thin layer of icing on top - just enough to stick the two cake layers together.

Place the second cake layer on top - cut side facing down.

Using a butter knife (or offset spatula), spread a thin layer of icing on the top of the cake, leaving a 2cm gap from the edge. 

Pipe small dots of icing around the top edge (inside the 2cm gap you left) 

Sprinkle the included Red Velvet sprinkle mix around the top of the cake and over the piped dots.
