Letter Celebration Cake

May 8, 2023

🌸🌿 Letter Cake 🌿🌸 This would make such a cute birthday cake! Or even as an activity one weekend. A simple traybake cake and a template and Ta-da!

And now I have to make a N because Norah was not happy I made and E for Edith 😂 I guess this where I should have named them both with the same first letter 🥴😂😂

Letter Celebration Cake

Servings: 12 people

Ingredients

For the cake:

  • 400 g baking butter
  • 400 g caster sugar
  • 7 medium eggs
  • 400 g self raising

For the buttercream:

  • 250 g butter
  • 500 g icing sugar
  • 1 tbsp milk
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • food colouring

For the icing & decoration:

  • 100 g icing sugar
  • green food colouring
  • 2 tsp water
  • flower decorations

Instructions

  •  Preheat your oven to 180C/160C Fan and line a large 38cm roasting tin with baking paper.
  • Beat together your butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
  • Add in the eggs, self raising flour and beat again until combined well.
  • Pour into the tin and bake for 40-45 minutes or until a skewer inserted into the middle comes out clean. Leave to cool completely before removing from the tin.
  • Make up the buttercream by mixing together the icing sugar, butter and milk. Add the vanilla and food colouring into the buttercream and mix.
  • Trim the edges of the cake and then cut around a template. You can do this freehand.
  • Cover the cake in buttercream and smooth it over. I added lines into the buttercream using a palette knife.
  • Mix together the icing sugar, water and green food colouring to make a thick pipe-able icing.
  • Pipe up the cake to make flower stems. Add the flowers and leaves.
  • Leave to set. The cake will keep in an airtight container for 5 days.
