How to Make Creative Cakes

To make your own creative cake, start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C) and greasing a round cake pan. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.

In another bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until they become light and fluffy. Add the eggs and vanilla extract, mixing well until fully incorporated.

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with the milk. Stir until the batter is smooth and well combined. Pour the batter into the prepared pan, smoothing the top to ensure an even bake.

Bake the cake for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let the cake cool completely before frosting and decorating.

Now comes the fun part—decorating! You can use colorful frosting, sprinkles, fondant, or even edible glitter to make your cake stand out. Whether it’s a birthday, anniversary, or any special occasion, the creative possibilities are endless. Your cake will be the highlight of any celebration.
