  1. 1 Frost each cupcake with a thin layer of vanilla frosting and refrigerate for 1 hour to make decorating easier.
  2. 2 Add 1 or 2 drops blue food coloring to the chocolate frosting to make it darker. Fill a piping bag fitted with a small round tip with the darkened chocolate frosting and draw the outline of a small pentagon shape on the top of each cupcake. Fill in the pentagons with chocolate frosting. Starting at the points of the pentagon shapes, draw lines halfway toward the edges of each cupcake. Draw a triangle at the bottom of each line, connecting one of the corners to the line, to indicate partial pentagon shapes around the edges of each cupcake. Fill in triangles with chocolate frosting.

Instructions

  1. 1 Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a baking sheet.
  2. 2 Unroll dough from each can in a long strand; fold each strand of dough in half, and roll slightly to shape it into a fat log. Shape the logs together on the prepared baking sheet to make a circle, overlapping the ends and pinching them together. Pat dough into shape as necessary to make it even in size all the way around. Cover loosely with foil.
  3. 3 Bake in preheated oven until firm to the touch and golden brown, 50 to 60 minutes. Check often for doneness so the ring doesn't overbake. Place on a wire rack and cool completely.
  4. 4 Place cake ring on a serving plate; cut a slit along the inside and insert a small plastic baby, pushing it far enough into the cake to be hidden from view.
  5. 5 Divide frosting evenly between 4 bowls. Stir 1 tablespoon of milk into each bowl to thin frosting. Use frosting in one bowl to drizzle over cooled cake. To the remaining three bowls of frosting, stir yellow food coloring into one and green into another. Stir red and blue food colorings together with frosting in a third bowl to make purple frosting. Drizzle cake with yellow, green, and purple frostings in any desired pattern. Dust cake with multi-colored sprinkles and decorate with beads, additional plastic babies, curly ribbon, and other festive trinkets.

Instructions

  1. 1 Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and line four 8-inch round cake pans with parchment paper.
  2. 2 Combine white cake mix, milk, egg whites, oil, and vanilla in a large bowl. Beat for 30 seconds using an electric mixer on low speed. Increase mixer speed to medium and beat for 2 more minutes. Batter will still be slightly lumpy.
  3. 3 To make the red cakes: Measure ½ of the cake batter into a separate bowl and whisk in red food coloring until well combined. Evenly transfer red cake batter into 2 of the prepared pans; smooth the tops with a spatula.
  4. 4 To make the white cake: Transfer ½ of the remaining uncolored batter into another prepared pan; smooth the top as before.
  5. 5 To make the blue cake: Add blue food coloring to remaining uncolored batter in the large bowl and mix until well combined; fold in 1 cup white chocolate chips until incorporated. Transfer batter to the remaining prepared pan; smooth the top.
  6. 6 Bake cakes in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center of each cake comes out clean, about 30 minutes. Remove from the oven and place onto wire racks to cool completely.
  7. 7 Run a knife around the edges of each cooled cake. Invert cakes, remove the pans, and peel off the parchment paper. Use a sharp knife to trim the tops of cakes flat and even.
  8. 8 Cut both of the red cake layers and the white cake layer in half horizontally. You will have 4 thin red cake layers and 2 thin white cake layers.
  9. 9 Place a 4-inch round stencil on top of 1 thin red cake layer; cut out a 4-inch red cake round. Repeat, placing the stencil on 1 thin white cake layer to make one 4-inch white cake round. Center the 4-inch round stencil on the blue cake; cut out and remove center portion covered by the stencil to make a blue cake ring.
  10. 10 To assemble the cake, you will need two thin 8-inch red cake layers, one thin 8-inch white cake layer, one 4-inch thin red cake circle, one 4-inch thin white cake circle, and one blue 8-inch cake ring. Reserve the leftover thin red cake layer and other cake pieces for making crumbs for decorating.
  11. 11 Place one 8-inch thin red cake layer on a cake pan and frost the top generously with white frosting. Place the thin 8-inch white cake layer on top of the red one and frost the top. Place remaining 8-inch thin red cake layer atop the white one. Frost the red layer.
  12. 12 Place the blue ring cake on top of the 2nd red cake layer and carefully frost the inside of the blue cake ring. Gently fit the 4-inch white cake layer into the blue cake ring. Frost the top of the 4-inch white center. Place the 4-inch red cake layer on top of the white one. Gently press small cake circles flush with the top of the blue ring.
  13. 13 Frost the entire outside of cake generously with remaining frosting.
  14. 14 Crumble red and blue pieces of leftover cake into 2 separate bowls. Score lines into the top of the cake's frosting with a kitchen knife to make a flag design. It should have a 2-inch square at the upper left for blue field and white stars and 7 thick horizontal stripes, about 1-inch wide.
  15. 15 Fill the square field at the upper left with blue crumbs, then press 1 tablespoon white chocolate chips upside-down into the blue crumbs to make "stars." Fill the bottom stripe and every other stripe with red crumbs to make red stripes. Sprinkle white sugar generously into the white stripes to make them stand out.
  16. 16 To serve, cut cake into wedges. The inside of the cake will reveal its layers of red and white stripes and blue field with white chocolate chip stars in every slice.

Instructions

  1. 1 Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Line the bottom of three 9-inch round pans with parchment paper, but do not grease.
  2. 2 Make the ube cake: Mix flour, baking powder, and salt together in a large bowl; set aside. Place grated ube in a large bowl. Combine 3/4 cup milk and 1 teaspoon vanilla; gradually blend into ube until smooth. Blend in egg yolks, corn syrup, and oil. Beat in flour mixture until smooth; set aside.
  3. 3 Combine egg whites and cream of tartar in a large bowl; beat with an electric mixer until foamy. Gradually add sugar, then red and blue food coloring, continuing to beat until stiff peaks form. Fold 1/3 of the whites into batter, then quickly fold in remaining whites until no streaks remain. Pour batter into prepared pans.
  4. 4 Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 30 to 35 minutes. Invert pans on a wire rack and let cool upside down. When cool, run a knife around the edges to loosen cake from the pans. Spread coconut preserves onto the cooled cake layers; stack layers on a cake stand or serving plate.
  5. 5 Make the buttercream: Combine evaporated milk and 3/4 cup sugar; set aside. Combine butter and sugar in a large bowl; beat with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy.
