A fun cake for Easter, this Easter Cake – Surprise Inside Cake is one that will leave guests shocked and delighted!
I made a cake in the shape of a giant egg. And trust me, it is not as hard as you would think!
To decorate the cake I just sectioned off four areas and decorated them each with royal icing or fondant. You can also use buttercream if you don’t want to mess with royal icing.
But you know I can’t make a cake without a surprise inside…
So I made a little chick Surprise Inside Cake!
My kids loved it and were so excited!
I used my White Cake recipe, made 4 layers, carved the egg shape and then frosted with whipped buttercream.
Oh my gosh! That is beyond amazing! I am scratching my head in wonder… “How did she DO that?!” Beautiful! Now I’m off to go look for your other cakes with surprise insides! (Found your blog this morning through Skip To My Lou.)
So totally cute! I can imagine your kids were very happily surprised to see that chick hanging out inside the egg. I don’t know how you did that, but I am amazed by your talent!
LOVE it! The chick on the inside is so SUPER cute!
OH MY GOODNESS…. I was ooohing and ahhhhing over the shape of the cake and the beautiful decorations and then… I saw the INSIDE! AMAZING! What lucky kids you have!!! I want to make a bunny cake this week…but am not loving any of my white layer cake recipes. I really want to find one that bakes up high and doesn’t fall… any suggestions????
Amanda, you will never cease to amaze me. A chick inside an egg. How adorable!
BTW, if you decide to do the April Fool’s ‘cake’ are you going to post a picture of it here???
Very cute! My first attempt at decorating a cake was an easter egg shaped cake. It is forever known now as “floor cake” in my house because I was trying to keep my brother from licking the frosting and it ended up being a bet on whether I throw it at him so I did and it landed on the floor.
Your cake is a thousand times better than mine and I am amazed how you figured out how to put the chick in the middle. So creative!
I’m almost positive everyone will forgive you. Cash is a thoughtful gift in my opinion!!
