I have had the opportunity to make several smash cakes to help celebrate first birthdays. I enjoy baking for little ones...they truly enjoy the sugar! I have been to several blogs and websites throughout the past year tyring to find the perfect yellow cake recipe. I have found several that are good, but they always seem to be a little on the dry side or they don't bake well. Several blogs have boasted that they have found a great recipe for white birthday cake. I've tried dozens and not until yesterday did I finally find a recipe that makes a moist, but dense vanilla butter cake. The recipe actually came from my Grandma, who has been using it all these years to make cakes.
SUCCESS...the cake tasted great...the cake held its form great(which is very important for decorating)...and the monkey was pretty cute!
