CELEBRATION SMASH CAKE
To me, when it comes to celebrating birthdays, there isn't such a thing as too many sprinkles. That's why I love this smash cake and birthday cake combo. I stir sprinkles into the batter AND decorate with sprinkles once the cakes are frosted. I love to use large confetti sprinkles to decorate the large cake.

Steps:
- For the cake: Grease and flour 2 6-inch cake pans and 3 8-inch cake pans. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Stir together the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a large bowl.
- Beat the butter and granulated sugar together on medium speed with an electric mixer until creamy. Beat in the egg whites until fluffy. Add the sour cream and vanilla and beat until smooth. Add the flour mixture alternately with the milk in three additions, beginning and ending with the flour mixture. Fold in the sprinkles.
- Spoon the batter into the prepared pans. Bake the 6-inch pans for until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 18 to 20 minutes. Bake the 8-inch pans until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 20 to 22 minutes. Remove the cakes to wire racks to cool in the pans 5 minutes. Turn out onto wire racks to cool completely.
- For the vanilla buttercream: Beat the butter at medium speed with an electric mixer until creamy. Add the powdered sugar, 1 cup at a time, until combined. Add the cream, vanilla and salt and beat to a spreadable consistency. Tint some of the frosting with blue food coloring, if desired.
- Build the cake: Stack the 8-inch cakes with frosting spread between the layers. Stack the 6-inch cakes on top of the 8-inch ones and spread frosting between the layers. Frost the top and side of the cake. Decorate with confetti and/or blue sprinkles, if desired.
CELEBRATION LAYER CAKE
Steps:
- Bake a 1 1/2 batch of white cake in 2 buttered and paper-lined 10-inch pans. When cakes are cooled, peel off paper and position one layer right side up on a cardboard. Spread the layer with chocolate buttercream, then top with second layer upside down. Mask outside of cake with more buttercream, then press multicolored chocolate shavings made with milk and white chocolate against cake all around.

Steps:
- Make the cake: Position a rack in the lower third of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees F. Butter four 9-inch-round pans and line the bottoms with parchment paper. Combine the granulated sugar and vegetable oil in a large bowl and beat with a mixer on medium-high speed until thick and creamy, about 3 minutes. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, then add the vanilla and beat on high speed until the batter is light and fluffy, about 2 minutes.
- Sift the flour, baking soda and salt into a medium bowl. With the mixer on low speed, beat the flour mixture into the sugar mixture in 3 additions, alternating with the buttermilk, beginning and ending with the flour mixture, until the batter is smooth, about 2 minutes. Tint with gel food coloring (see below).
- Divide the batter among the prepared pans and bake, 2 pans at a time, until a toothpick inserted into the centers comes out clean, about 15 minutes. Let cool 15 minutes in the pans, then invert onto racks to cool completely.
- Make the frosting: Beat the butter and salt in a large bowl with a mixer on medium speed until smooth and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Gradually beat in the confectioners' sugar until smooth. Add the vanilla, increase the mixer speed to medium high and beat until thick, 2 more minutes. Beat in the milk, a little at a time, until the frosting is spreadable.
- Assemble the cake: Spread about 1 1/2 cups frosting between the cake layers, then cover the outside of the cake with the remaining frosting and coat with toppings (see below).
- How to Color the Batter:
- Use gel food coloring for cakes: You don't need to add as much, and the colors are brighter.
- Solid: Tint the batter 1 color; divide among 4 pans.
- Striped: Divide the batter between 2 bowls; tint each one a different color. Divide each color between 2 pans.
- Ombre: Divide the batter among 4 bowls; tint in varying shades of the same color. Pour into 4 pans.
- Rainbow: Divide the batter among 4 bowls; tint each one a different color. Pour into 4 pans.
- The Toppings:
- Mini Marshmallows: You'll need about one 10 1/2-ounce bag. For a multicolored look, use fruit-flavored mini marshmallows.
- Chocolate Rocks: You'll need about 3 cups. Find them at specialty candy stores, or order online.
- Ombre Coconut: Divide one 7-ounce bag coconut among 3 resealable plastic bags. Add an increasing number of drops of the same food coloring to each bag and shake.
- Nonpareils: Use rainbow or single-color nonpareils; you'll need about 3/4 cup. Set your cake on a cake plate in the sink or on a large rimmed baking sheet to catch loose nonpareils.
CELEBRATION CAKE
This cake, which was developed by the British-Israeli chef Yotam Ottolenghi, may not look perfect. You may end up with cracked layers, roughly cut edges and a white-chocolate ganache spread willy-nilly. "I think it's best if it is superrustic," Ottolenghi said. But it will be elegant anyway, the astonishingly good result of care and time spent in the kitchen for loved ones, and the flavors are terrific.

Steps:
- To make the layers for the cake, heat oven to 350. Grease and line three 10-by-14-inch jellyroll pans with parchment paper. (If you only have one, you can make the layers separately.)
- Put a medium-size pot with a few inches of water in it over medium heat, and bring it to a simmer. Place a large, heatproof bowl on top of the pot, making sure that the base of the bowl is not touching the water. Put the chocolate in the bowl, and melt it over the simmering water, stirring occasionally. Remove the bowl from the heat, and set aside to cool slightly.
- Put the egg yolks and sugar into the bowl of an electric mixer with a whisk attachment. Mix for about 3 minutes, until thick and pale, and then gently fold the mixture into the melted chocolate. Stir until almost combined, and set aside.
- Put the egg whites in the clean bowl of an electric mixer with a clean whisk attachment. Beat at high speed until soft peaks form, and then gently fold them into the chocolate, followed by the brandy.
- Divide the chocolate mixture between the 3 jellyroll pans (or pour a third of the mix into one, if you're baking in 3 batches). Use a spatula to even out the tops or top, and place in the oven. Cook for approximately 15 minutes, until firm to touch and a skewer inserted in comes out clean. Set aside to cool.
- Once the cakes have cooled, place a sheet of parchment on a sheet pan, and set it over one of the finished spongecakes, then flip the whole thing over, so the sheet pan is now sitting under the cake. Remove the jellyroll pan and the used paper. Repeat with the remaining cakes, placing each on a clean sheet of parchment paper and stacking them. Wrap them well with plastic wrap and place in the freezer for at least 24 hours.
- To make the ganache, place white chocolate in a large bowl and set aside. Add the cream to a medium saucepan with a heavy base and place it on medium-low heat. Cook until just starting to simmer, and then pour it over the chocolate. Allow to sit for 3 minutes or so, until the chocolate has softened, and then gently stir until the chocolate is melted and fully combined with the cream. Cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate overnight (or for up to 3 days).
- To assemble the cake, put the ganache into the bowl of an electric mixer with a whisk attachment. Add the cream, and whip on medium-high until the mixture has achieved the consistency of soft whipped cream. (Keep a close eye on it so as not to overwhip.)
- Mix the berries you are not holding back for garnish in a large bowl, and set aside.
- Remove one sponge layer from the freezer at a time, and place on a serving platter or cutting board. Do not remove them all at once; they need to be frozen. Trim about 1/2 inch off all the edges to make a clean rectangle, then spread roughly 1/3 of the ganache mixture across the top of the cake. Scatter 1/2 of the berries on top of the ganache mixture, making sure they are evenly spread right to the edges of the cake. Trim the second sponge layer, place it on top of the first and cover it with another 1/3 of the ganache mixture and the remainder of the fruit. Remove the final layer of cake from the freezer, trim it and place it on top of the second, then spread the remaining ganache across the top of the cake, smoothing it with a palette knife. Place the fruit reserved as garnish in each corner of the cake, and dust the whole thing lightly with powdered sugar, if you like. If you're not serving the cake right away, store in the refrigerator for a few hours, bringing it out 30 minutes before serving.

- Place a rack in middle of oven; preheat to 350°. Lightly coat pans with nonstick spray. Line bottom of each pan with a parchment paper round. Lightly coat parchment with nonstick spray. Whisk flour, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl. Using an electric mixer on medium speed, beat sugar and butter in a large bowl, scraping down sides of bowl as needed, until pale and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add eggs one at a time, beating well and scraping down sides of bowl after each addition.
- Combine milk and vanilla in a measuring glass. Reduce speed to low; beat in dry ingredients in 3 additions, alternating with milk mixture in 2 additions, mixing well after each addition. Divide batter evenly among 6 small bowls (if using a scale, about 200 g each).
- Color batter in each bowl with orange, green, yellow, red, pink, and black food coloring, adding and stirring in until you reach desired hue. Scrape a color of batter into each prepared pan; smooth surface. Bake cakes, rotating pans halfway through if browning too much in one spot, until tops spring back when very gently pressed and a tester inserted in the center comes out clean (go all the way to the bottom), 16–20 minutes. Transfer pans to wire racks and let cakes cool in pans 10 minutes. Run a small knife or offset spatula around inside of pans to loosen cakes, then turn out onto racks. Remove parchment and let cool completely (keep upside down).
- Using clean beaters, beat butter on medium speed in a large bowl until smooth. Add cream cheese a few pieces at a time, beating until smooth. Beat in vanilla, then reduce speed to low and add powdered sugar a little at a time, beating until smooth. Mix in lemon juice and salt. Scoop 1 cup frosting into a small bowl; set aside. Add a few drops yellow food coloring to frosting in large bowl and stir well; add more until you reach desired hue.
