PIPED ART CAKE

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven and mix up your Loyal Butter Cake Mix into cake batter using the instructions on the packet.
2. With your batter ready to go, separate approximately 1 cup of cake batter into a smaller mixing bowl - one bowl for each colour you want to decorate with (we used 7).
3. Colour your cake batter, giving each bottle of Colour Mill Oil Blend a good shake and dropping approximately 1-2 drops of colour into each bowl. These pigments pack a punch, so add colour slowly, adding more if you want a darker colour.
4. Trace an outline of your cake tin onto a piece of baking paper. Trace your chosen design into this space. Cut 2 lines at a 90 degree angle to each other with the corners meeting at each corner of the cake tin, allowing you to easily line your cake tin with walls of baking paper.
5. With your baking paper lining secure, start slowly piping your design! Work in 2 layers to create detailed designs. (E.g. piping down the centre or details of your flowers first, followed by the petals on top).
6. With your design finished, pipe the un-coloured cake batter on top and bake as per the instructions on the packet.
7. Once your cake has baked and fully cooled, cut the cake through the middle to create a top and bottom layer.
8. Assemble a piping bag with your Loyal 1M piping tip and fill with Colour Mill Gloss Frost. Pipe simple ruffled dollops across the entire surface of the bottom layer of cake. Gently place the top layer on top and press lightly to secure.
9. Serve and enjoy!
