Ingredients

Scale

Vanilla Cake

  • 1 batch of Easy Vanilla Sheet Cake

Buttercream Frosting

  • 1 batch of Easy Vanilla Buttercream Frosting
  • Yellow food coloring
  • Orange food coloring

Filling

  • 1 cup of mini candy corn (180g)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Cake Layers: Bake one batch of Easy Vanilla Sheet Cake according to the recipe instructions. Allow the cake to cool completely before assembling.
  2. Tint the Frosting: Divide the batch of Easy Vanilla Buttercream Frosting into two portions. Color one portion yellow and the other orange using food coloring, mixing until you achieve vibrant hues reminiscent of candy corn.
  3. Assemble the Cake: Place one vanilla cake layer on your serving plate. Spread a layer of vanilla buttercream frosting over the cake surface.
  4. Add the Candy Corn Surprise: Evenly scatter 1 cup of mini candy corn over the frosted layer, creating a hidden candy surprise inside the cake.
  5. Complete the Layering: Carefully place the second vanilla cake layer on top, pressing gently to secure the layers together.
  6. Frost the Cake: Apply a crumb coat layer of frosting over the entire cake and chill briefly to set. Then, frost the cake with alternating swirls or sections of the yellow and orange buttercream to create a festive candy corn look.
  7. Final Touches: Smooth the frosting or create textured patterns as desired to enhance the Halloween theme. Chill the cake slightly to set the frosting before serving.
