Description
This is our first Threadcakes entry, which took in total 3 hours, not including eating the cake or basking in the cake's overwhelming glory.
We started out with Trader Joe's Vanilla Cake mix, which we lovingly whisked and poured into a well greased 8X8 nonstick pan. Next we placed the well greased 8X8 nonstick pan into our 1960 South Bend natural gas oven warmed to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and baked for approximately 40 minutes.
While the cake was baking, we made our own frosting from a powdered sugar base. We discovered that a vast quantity of powdered sugar is required to create a meager amount of frosting. We then developed a palette with an array of colours need to create the bleeding test pattern. When the cake was finished baking, we delicately removed it from the oven and turned it out of the well greased 8x8 nonstick pan. We frosted the outer edge of the cake with chocolate sugar frosting. We next began to add the test patterns to the cake all the while making sure that the height and width of each stripe was the same. After the completion of the stripes we stood the cake upright and started the run off of the stripes. To achieve this affect we made a mound of white frosting which we alternately dyed and covered in coloured frosting.
Finally we were able to remove our selves from the physical attachment to the beauty of the cake and cut into it. Once sliced and dished out we were glad we had abandoned our cake and allowed ourselves to take part in it's delicious taste.
