Paul’s birthday cake

After watching  Allee and Charles’ video last week-baking a Cherpumple Cake, created by Charles, assisted by Allee, I made this.  To get Allee, who’s my aunt, to actually make food is an accomplishment on it”s own!!  So I was inspired to make my own version of the “Cherpumple”!!

I am not a big fan of fruit unless it is in sauce form. i.e., strawberry sauce, raspberry sauce. Apples have to be in a pie loaded with filling and blueberries only in pancakes or muffins. So I decided on white cake, oreo cakesters, brownies with white chocolate frosting! I made the frosting from scratch because my Aunt and Charles freaked me with their FOUR YEAR OLD FROSTING!! They actually tasted the cake with the frosting!!YUCK!!

First I mixed the Duncan Hines White Cake Mix with Jello pudding oreo mix placed in cake pan and added the oreo cakester’s in a flower shape in the cake batter. After that I made the brownies and I always put the first initial of the person’s first name I am baking for in the batter. Note “P” for Paul .

Then I made the white chocolate frosting, which I have to say was so damn good!! The best frosting I ever made!! Then we decorated the cake with Orero’s and Pretzel M&M’s. The M&M’s really compliment the frosting.

I did have a bit of trouble!! My cake was too moist and it cracked in two places so I decided to fill in the cake with frosting which is like glue so it all worked out.

Oh, I forgot why to tell there is a man in a head stand on top of the cake. My husband Paul is going to be a Yoga teacher so I decided to use Yoga as my theme for the cake. I found Ken “Fashionista” I was so excited his shorts are almost identical to what Paul wears to Yoga!!

Thanks Aunt Allee and Charles for inspiring my bday cake!! You guys ROCK!!

    For any of you who haven;t seen the Cherpumple video referenced here, here it is: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IupsHYsXHB4

    We never actually applied or ate the 4 year old frosting on the cake. But 1 can we did use was a little on the old side. Tasted fabulous though!

    Hope Paul had a very happy b-day.
