Equipment

  • 3 9in round cake pans
  • 3 10in round cake board

Ingredients

Vanilla Frosting ingredients

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees and spray the cake pans with pam baking spray.
  • Using a large bowl, beat the cake mix, butter, eggs, and milk until combined and smooth.
  • Evenly divide the cake batter between the 3 pans.
  • Place into the oven and bake for 22-26 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
  • Allow cooling completely before covering with foil and setting them aside to use the next day. By doing this, it will allow you to get a clean cut slice of cake.

Frosting Directions

  • Using a standing mixer, beat the butter, powdered sugar, vanilla, and heavy whipping cream together until combined, smooth and stiff with peaks.
  • Once the frosting is made, divide the 1 ½ C of frosting into 2 small bowls, leaving the rest in the mixing bowl for the outer layer of the cake.
  • In one bowl, mix in 4 drops of purple gel food coloring.
  • In the second bowl, mix in 4 drops of blue gel food coloring.

Building the cake directions

  • Remove the cakes from the pans and onto the cake boards.
  • Using a cake slicer, slice off the tops of the cakes to create a flat cake layer.
  • Using one of the cake layers as the bottom layer, scoop the purple frosting onto the cake layer and spread it evenly.
  • Place a second cake layer on top.
  • Scoop the blue frosting on top of the cake layer and spread evenly.
  • Place the third cake layer on top of the frosting.
  • Smooth the two frostings on the outside to create a smooth layer on the outside.
  • Using the white frosting, completely coat the cake in the white frosting and smooth evenly.
  • Place the cake onto a cookie sheet.
  • Using the sprinkles, completely coat the cake in the sprinkles.
  • Once coated, place them in the fridge for a few hours to allow them to harden.
  • Enjoy!
