How to Make a Smash Cake
Full Recipe: preppykitchen.com/smash-cakes/
What could be more exciting than a first birthday? Two first birthdays!! My twins turned one and you know I went all out for their smash cakes! I made my favorite vanilla cake but this time as a two layer cake with nice mega-fluffy layers and then covered it in a simple but delicious strawberry buttercream and of course I had to top it with beautiful buttercream roses. Sorry boys, you're getting pink cakes!
UPDATE: Milk and sour cream should equal 1 cup or 240ml.

I made these for my twins’ third birthday, and I hereby dub you the baking king! Lol this was the absolute fluffiest most delicious cake I’ve ever baked. It’s not too sweet or dense. It’s light, airy, and just perfect! I made it with the egg whites and I can’t tell you how perfectly they turned out! Thank you so much! Now I’m going to cry bc my babies are turning 3! 🥲

Preppy Kitchen Oh yeah! Many parents just bake a simple cake, throw some frosting on it, usually chocolate bc it makes the mess appear worse for pictures 😉, And the nicely decorated cake is reserved for the guests.

Galen Kerrick , I purchased the Wilton strips after seeing them being used by Preppy Kitchen and absolutely love them. Can't believe I didn't know of their existence (and I've been baking for many years!) and they work. I'm in Australia and paid about $25 AUD for a pack which contains two strips.

Okay! So I used these amounts in your recipe to make 2 9 inch cakes. My cakes are still not as fluffy as I'd like them to be. They are a little heavy and I wish they were just more airy and lighter. BUT they are super moist!

Wow I love your decorating a lot. Can you please take a picture when you cut the cakes ? I have skipped the video to see how insides the cakes are. I don't know why I am too excited to see the insides before watching the whole videos while I have already bookmarked your videos and I will certainly make those later.
