Today I am going to share a cake I recently “made” and show you how you can create one too!
This Pinterest worthy summer cake hack is so simple and the end result is beautiful.
No baking is required which is so nice in the hot summer months.
Who wants to be indoors near a hot oven when you can be out enjoying the sun?Â
SUPPLIES NEEDED:
You will need a store bought cake with mainly white frosting.
Plenty of fresh mint leaves.
Fresh blueberries.
A spatula.
A cake stand and lazy susan. {optional}
I bought this cake and it was under $12.00. I even did curbside pickup so I didn’t even have to get out of my car 🙂
Once I got home I let it sit on the counter so the frosting would soften up a little.
I also placed some fresh blueberries in the freezer, and I will explain why in a minute.
INSTRUCTIONS:
This Pinterest worthy summer cake hack is so easy it almost doesn’t need explaining.
1- Remove any colored frosting or decoration.
2- Smooth out the white frosting using a spatula. If your frosting is too hard you can dip your spatula in warm water before smoothing out.
3- Working in clusters of 3, arrange your blueberries randomly all over your cake. You will need to push them firmly into the frosting which is why having them frozen is ideal.
4- Take sprigs of tiny fresh mint and smoosh into frosting where each blueberry cluster is.
That’s it! Wasn’t that easy?
Tips-
I like to use a lazy susan while decorating cakes. It makes the process so much easier.
I place my cake stand on the lazy susan and spin around as I decorate.
