We all know you're going to nail the snacks and drinks at your next party, so why not take things up a notch and make a killer dessert as well? Piñata cakes may look complicated, but with our easy, step-by-step video tutorial, you can pull off this beautiful dessert in a snap. All you'll need is your favorite cake mix (box mixes are totally cool too and major time savers), some delicious icing, and your choice of candy (we chose chocolate candies, duh).
Pro Tip: Purchase pre-made cake rounds at your local grocery store for an even quicker way to assemble!
Step-By-Step Guide:
- Bake three 8-inch rounds of your favorite cake mix
- Frost just the top, outer edge of the bottom layer with your favorite frosting -- we especially love buttercream
- Cut a large hole out of the center of your next round cake layer -- creating a 2-inch ring of cake
- Place the cut-out cake ring on top of the frosted bottom layer and frost the top
- Fill the hole with your favorite candies
- Place final round cake layer on top
- Frost the entire cake and decorate
