Adding a layer of frosting between each piece, my sister and I began stacking upward with the cake held together by a long skewer stick in the middle. I quickly started building the cake and creating green frosting by adding food coloring. We set the timer for exactly an hour and began decorating. We committed the entire day to working on the cakes, but only planned to time the decorating portion. The baking process took about three and a half hours in total, and afterward the cakes cooled in the refrigerator. We took turns placing them in the oven at the temperatures they were supposed to bake at and ended up baking three full-sized cakes and five smaller ones. We got up bright and early with our designs at the ready to first bake the cakes, adding water, vegetable oil and eggs to the cake mix.

To start, my immediate family of six split into pairs and began looking for design inspiration while my cousin decided to work separately at her house.Īlthough it is spring, my sister and I decided to make a Christmas tree shaped cake, and I headed to the store with my mom to purchase the essentials: cake mix, sprinkles, piping bags and piping nozzles.

I chose to conduct a cake competition to replicate professionally designed cakes. With the house always smelling good as a result of my sisters’ endeavours, it was only a matter of time before I gave in and took a shot at one of these trends. On my own For You Page, I have seen a definite increase in popularity of people becoming creative in the kitchen while cake baking. My sisters have recently developed a newfound passion for baking, and, as a result, Tik Tok has become a source of food inspiration for me.
