Finish off the cake by carefully placing the small gelatin bubbles around the outside of the top of the cake and the bigger ones in the centre.We aim to have a welcoming and fun community, so please remain respectful of each other.I started with my bigger round sprinkles at the bottom and worked my way up using smaller ones with the big sprinkles and then less and less sprinkles as I got to the top of the cake.I didn’t lose that many sprinkles and I swept up whatever fell on the floor and ate them. I didn’t want to touch my precious frosting with my warm hands and risk giant fingerprints in the cake. I resorted to creating a huge mess by throwing them onto the cake. Carefully add sprinkles to the bottom of the cake.Then smoothen out the top using a the cake scraper. Use a cake scraper to smoothen out the frosting around the sides. Add a fresh layer of frosting using a small offset spatula.This should just be a neat thin layer of frosting which is aimed at trapping any cake crumbs so that random bits of cake crumbs don’t show up on the outside of the cake. Add more frosting around the outside to fill the grooves between each layer. Use a small offset to add a layer of frosting and smoothen out and layer the frosting on each layer before adding the next layer of cake. To prepare crumb coat, add a dab of frosting onto an 8” cake board or serving plate.As you go around each side of the cake cutting it, use the marked skewer to make sure each cut is at the same height. An easy way to do this is to find the lowest height of the cake, place a skewer or toothpick next to that point and mark it. Try to aim to get them all the same height. Using a large serrated knife, carefully trim the top off each layer of cake to make even and flat layers.Allow the tins to cool for 2 min and then carefully flip the cake tins over on to a cooling wrack to cool completely before using. Bake for 30 min or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.Scrape down the bowl and mix for another 20 seconds. Add the milk, oil, Greek yogurt, eggs, pink food gel, strawberry essence, bubblegum essence and vanilla extract into the bowl with the dry ingredients and mix on medium speed until no dry ingredients are visible.Add the softened butter and mix until it resembles a fine sand like texture. Turn mixer on low speed and allow it to mix for a couple minutes to help everything combine well (alternatively you may do this by sifting the ingredients together). In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, add the flour, baking powder, caster sugar and salt.Spray an 8” cake tin with oil spray and line the bottom with baking paper. Preheat a fan-forced oven to 160C (320F) or 180C (356F) for a conventional oven.You can do this using a pair of scissors. You’ll need to cut away the bottom of the bubbles so they sit evenly on top of the cake. To remove balloon, cut away from the stick and pull the balloon out from the bubble.Place the coated balloons standing upright in a cup or in a Styrofoam block and allow to dry completely- about 24 hours.If the gelatin stiffens you can melt again in the microwave for 10 seconds. Let the gelatin set on the first coat for 5 min, and then coat again. Dip balloons into gelatin liquid making sure they’re coated evenly leaving the bit where the balloon meets the stick free of gelatin.Add pink food gel and mix until well combined. Allow it to bloom (rest) for 5 min before you place it in the microwave for 10-15 seconds, or until melted. Add water and gelatin to a microwave safe bowl.I didn’t show doing this in the video but you’ll need to do it. Gently coat each balloon with a little oil spray over each balloon and wipe it down with a paper towel. Attach blown up balloons to paper straw or cake pop sticks with tape. Blow up about 20-25 food safe water balloons at about the same size, but do some little ones too.I mean you could try eating them, but you’d be chewing for months and it’s like eating plastic!) You’ll also need to prepare these on the same day you bake the cake as making this entire cake is a two day process. (Please note: these are food safe but are purely for decoration and no edible.
