RFCJ RECIPE ARCHIVE
Posted by : Andrea Herrera Cake: Menorah Cake
I usually make this cake, as it's a big hit with the kids. It's a Menorah Cake. Use large (2 cake mix boxes size) round cake pan. Prepare the cake mixes together, and pour into the prepared pan. Bake according to directions. You may have to bake a few minutes longer due to size. (Hint: I add 2 T of flour when I am using a large pan, it keeps the cake together better.) When cool, turn cake out on a large square carboard cake board. Allow cake to cool all the way. When cool, cut the circle in half. Then turn the half circles so that the cut ends are not together. Frost the cake and decorate following the shape of the half circles. Use the top half to "draw" in the candle holders of the Menorah. (Using a star tip and yellow frosting always looks nice). Use the bottom half of the cake to "draw" the base of the menorah. Add all the candles at the top of each candle holder and light. A very nice presentation piece. If anyone has trouble figuring out what I've said here, you can email me privately. --Andrea
