I have been partnering with McCormick for a few years now. It is a match made in heaven! I get to use amazing quality products and share delicious and creative recipes and they… um… they… well. I am starting to think that I got the better end of this partnership.
Don’t tell them I love my work so much ok? Our secret!
McCormick is celebrating their 125th birthday on Sept. 28th. I don’t know about you, but I had no idea that they had been around for 125 years! There is something to be said for longevity and dependability in a huge company like that.
In honor of their big day I decided to make them a cake. It’s what I do ok? I wanted it to be fun, really fun, and really personal. The outside of my cake is covered in hundreds of rainbow sprinkles! Don’t you love the clean lines and color in this cake?
Add to that a fancy little white frill around the top and we are golden. Golden I tell you!
Or rainbow. More like rainbow.
And here is the surprise! I made the McCormick logo inside the cake!
It was not easy. But it was a labor of love.
I have to tell you, when I cut into the cake I was so pleased! SO pleased. could not contain my excitement and I texted off a picture to a close friend. She was as excited as I was and that’s when I knew that this was a special cake. And who better to honor?
While I happen to think that this may be one of the prettiest cakes I have ever made, it is also the tastiest. I prefer this amazing White Cake recipe, but with a twist.
McCormick just released this wonderful new Extra Rich vanilla that is 25% richer than classic vanilla extract. It adds something really special to my cakes and frostings!
If you want to know more about how I made this surprise-inside cake please do check out my book, Surprise-Inside Cakes! I also have a little video here that helps to detail the process.
Happy Birthday, McCormick!
I cannot even IMAGINE how hard that would have been. But that M and C is pure perfection! Well done!
Thank you Jessica!
This cake is so adorable! And the logo looks great, I’m totally in awe of your skills!
Is there anything you cannot do? You truly amaze me Amanda. This cake is so beautiful. I would have had a hard time cutting into it!
Oh my gosh!!! This turned out amazing!!
What a gorgeous cake inside and out! The logo is absolutely perfect and I love all the colorful sprinkles. If I was ever able to create something like your cakes, I’d try to find a way to preserve it forever.
You are cake wonder woman, and I mean that as the most sincere of compliments. I love McCormick’s real deal vanilla extract too. It’s so good and really affordable!
