Birthday Cookie and Cake Recipe
When I asked soon-to-be 12 years old Ryann what sort of birthday cake she wanted she said, “Either a cookie cake or a chocolate cake”. After deliberating which to produce, I chose both! I topped a chocolate-chip cookie cake using a rich chocolate cake, topped all this with chocolate buttercream frosting and, of course, birthday candles!
Unlike my pal Marianne Getz (Wolfgang Puck’s pastry chef), I am NOT an excellent baker. However, I believe that Birthday Cakes needs to be made in your house, with love, instead of commercially made so…I caused it to be myself…using mixes! Plus, rather than wasting $3.99 for the pre-made decorative colored frosting, I spent $.99 on white frosting and improvised. Unless you are getting fancy, you can do it my way utilizing the vanilla frosting, food coloring, convection a baggie!
Here’s what to buy:
- 1 Krusteaz Chocolate Chunk cookie mix
- 1 Betty Crocker Devils
