How To Make Mini Cakes
My sister gave me a book on mini cakes a few months ago (listed below) and that's when my love for mini cakes began. My sister & I went straight to my kitchen and starting making tons of these cute little guys. We made square, circle, and tiered mini cakes and decorated them in every possible way that we could think of. They were extremely easy and fun to make and the sisterly bonding was great!
Listed below is my very simple recipe to make mini cakes. I'm pretty sure that you'll find them fun to make as well. Grab a family member and/or a friend and go have a blast. It's a great way to spend some time together and to make some wonderful memories.
