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 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.

CELEBRATION ANGEL FOOD CAKE
This cake is different in that it has red, white and blue sprinkles which makes it perfect for 4th of July! Change the color of the sprinkles and you can use this for any celebration! And now a little history: Angel food cake is also called ice cream cake (a Pennsylvania Dutch wedding cake). It is felt that the abundance of cake molds in southeastern Pennsylvania, one of the major producer of cake molds, indicates that the angel food cake originated there in the early 1800s. Some historians think that the first angel food cakes were probably baked by African-American slaves from the South because making this cake required a strong beating arm and lots of labor to whip the air into the whites. Angel food cakes are also a traditional African-American favorite for post-funeral feasting.

Steps:
- Sift flour with 3/4 cups sugar 4 times; set aside.
- With a hand-held electric mixer at high speed, beat egg whites with salt and cream of tartar until soft peaks are formed. Gradually beat in remaining 1 cup sugar, about 1/4 cup at a time.
- Beat well after each addition; continue to beat until stiff peaks form when beaters are raised out of mixture.
- With a rubber spatula, gently fold almond extract and vanilla into the beaten egg whites.

- Preheat oven to 375°F
- Gently spoon batter into an ungreased 10-inch tube pan. Cut through batter in pan with a narrow spatula or knife. With rubber spatula, spread batter to smooth the top and make sure batter is spread to touch the sides of the pan.
- Bake on a lower oven rack for 35 to 40 minutes, or until cake springs back when lightly touched with fingertip. Invert pan to cool completely, about 2 hours. Use a narrow spatula or knife to gently loosen cake from sides and center of the tube pan. Gently, grasping the center tube, lift cake out of pan. Use a narrow spatula or knife to loosen the cake from the bottom. Remove the cake from tube section and frost with a fluffy white frosting or serve with sweetened strawberries or other fruit.

CONFETTI CELEBRATION CAKE
This is from Betty Crocker ... I am posting the recipe as it is on the website, but I didn't follow it exactly. I used Duncan Hines' butter golden recipe cake mix and frosting. I didn't use Betty Crocker sprinkles or icing either, and I didn't measure my sprinkles!! This is a very cheerful-looking cake, so it would probably go well with a child's birthday party. Prep time includes cooling time for the cakes.

CELEBRATION CAKE
A rich, tasty white (yellow) cake from "1001 Old-Time Household Hints", by Yankee Magazine. Once you try this, you'll never want to buy boxed cake mix again! Yankee Magazine suggests using Italian Frosting with this cake, which I haven't tried yet, but will post separately (check my other recipes). Tip: Left over egg whites can be used to make angel food cake, or make meringue.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 F.
- Grease and flour two 10" x 10" baking pans (or two deep 9" X 9" pans, or a large sheet pan - remember to adjust baking time).
- Sift together cake flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
- Cream egg yolks and sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add scalded milk and vanilla to egg yolk mixture.
- Mix butter into egg yolk mixture.
- Stir flour mixture into egg yolk mixture. Do not over beat.
- Pour batter into pans and bake for 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean.
- Allow cake to cool completely before removing from pans. Frost if desired.
- Tip: To scald milk, heat milk in a heavy bottomed pan over low heat, stirring frequently. When bubbles begin to form around the edge of the pan, and steam rises from the milk, it is scalded. Remove from heat and cool. Do not boil. (It may not actually be necessary to scald the milk - it was traditionally done to deactivate enzymes. These days pasteurization takes care of that).
