About this deal
Out of several options that I explored, this Wilton cake pan was the best I found. There were a few others but in the end, the value and numerous possibilities for the future won me over.
Prepare your cake batter. You can use your favorite cake recipe, vanilla or chocolate. I used this vanilla cake recipe (doubled the recipe for my number 17)
For our customers in Northern Ireland with a ‘BT’ postcode, please note that any deliveries will most likely take three days to arrive, on 2 Day Northern Ireland Delivery. Working with one number at a time, place one layer of the number onto a cake platter. Using a pastry bag fitted with a large round tip (or your favorite tip), pipe the whipped cream frosting over the cake in dollops. You can choose to evenly spread the frosting too.
Finally, decorate the cake with your desired toppings. I used meringuekisses, macarons, fresh flowers, and fresh fruits.Remember to save an equal amount of decorations for your second number if you are making a two-digit numbered cake. Increase speed to medium-low and add the cubes of butter, one at a time mixing each one for a few seconds before adding the next. Mix until there are no large chunks. In the bowl of an electric mixer, combine the dry ingredients and mix at low speed until well blended. Once cool, slice each number cake into two halves for layering. I used a cake wire cutter to slice mycake but you can also use a serrated knife.Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Assemble your number in the number cake pan. Grease the pan with baking spray and set aside. The recipe as written will make two numbers. So if you only have one pan, you will need to bake each number. A few people even asked for a step-by-step guide on how to make a number cake. Well, here it is!! Disclaimer: it is straightforward, and all you need is my secret weapon.
