Hey guys, I am so sorry I haven’t been able to write in a while, I have been pretty busy. I’m in fifth grade so I have my school work and even though I do it from home I get tired and just want to take a break sometimes. I also help my mom around the house and like to cook dinner once a week so I am not always able to do my blog. So I have decided to write as much as I can but not necessarily every week, that way its not too much pressure. So make sure to follow my blog so you get notifications when I post a new recipe. Now let’s talk about this new recipe. Today I’m going to make a surprise cake. I saw a video for it on Pinterest and it was for a New Year’s Cake, I decided to put my own special twist on it though to make it girly and fashionable. If you want to make this cake for a party or something you will want to make this a day or two in advance because this takes quite a while. I’m super excited so lets get started!

Ingredients (For First Cake)

• 3/4 cup water
• 1/3 cup oil
• 3 egg whites
• 1/2 cup flour
• 1 box white cake mix (16.25 oz)
• gel food coloring (I used red)
• Cookie cutter of your choice

Ingredients (For Second Cake)

• 3 egg whites
• 1 cup water
• 1/3 cup oil
• 1 box white cake mix (16.25 oz)
• 1/2 cup rainbow sprinkles
• 1 16oz jar of Frosting

Instructions (For First Cake)

1. Mix water, oil, egg whites, (I used store bought egg whites so that we didn’t waste the yolks) flour, and cake mix.
2. Once its blended well add food coloring, start with 1/4 tsp and add more to get your desired color
3. Pour mix in loaf pan and bake @ 350 for 45-50 minutes
4. Cool cake completely. Then cut off the ends and take your cookie cutter (I used lips) and measure the thickness of it to get the size slices. Once you have all the slices done cut out the shape with your cookie cutter from the middle of each slice.
5. Put shapes on a cookie sheet and brush with egg whites and then freeze them for 6 hours or overnight.

Instructions (For Second Cake)

(Start this cake only after your shapes from the first cake are frozen and ready)

1. Put 3 egg whites in a bowl and beat until soft peaks form. Set aside.
2. In a separate bowl mix water, oil, cake mix and sprinkles.
3. Add egg whites and fold in gently to cake mix.
4. Pour about 1/3 to 1/2 of batter into a greased loaf pan.
5. Then set frozen cake shapes in a line down the center, matching them up till they are all added. (I got so excited that I totally forgot to take a picture of these steps, sorry!)
6. Gently pour the rest of your cake batter over the top. (I had cake mix left over so I made some mini cupcakes)
7. Bake @ 350 for 40-50 minutes. Check to see if it’s done with a toothpick. Make sure it comes out clean.
8. Cool cake completely
9. Frost cake and decorate if you want. When you slice it you will see the shape you used in the middle of the cake. SURPRISE! Its a lot easier to frost if you have the cake on a flat surface, I learned this the hard way! But I wanted to put it on a cute plate so I used one of my mom’s Pioneer Woman plates.
