Life has really gotten away from me and so has my goal of cooking well for my family.
I really want to cook I do, I'm just so rotten at it and not to mention a major procrastinator too.
Early this fall we found out that we are being blessed with another little one come spring and so cooking has taken a back seat or rather far far away vacation from my mind.
Don't get me wrong I LOVE to eat! I just don't like having to prepare it so much anymore....though I still love baking...hmmm
Today's recipe is nothing fancy really, just something I threw together for my son's birthday.
1 box of white cake mix (and coordinating ingredients to make such cake)
orange food coloring or red and yellow to create an orange colored batter (color to taste, in our case it was hunters, fluorescent orange!)
Tub of orange frosting (handy this time of year being October, but if not availiable just color white frosting orange in a bowl.)
Colored frosting for whatever design you are making, I got black and yellow as I am making the bat signal on this cake.
My son loves the color orange and camouflage but since camo is hard for me right now to do on a budget I stuck with orange and am using his Lego batman figurines as cake toppers! Yes I made sure to disinfect them before placing them on the cake.
Prepare cake according to package instructions, cool then frost with orange frosting.
Since I am doing a bat signal on this cake I printed out some batman coloring sheets
for inspiration, you can use them as templates if you trace the design on wax paper and then cut it out like a regular stencil. But make sure your frosting has set and hardened before you do this otherwise you will have frosting all over the stencil and a choppy looking top to your cake! :)
