Hannah Montana Birthday Cake




Birthday Parties are fun! Birthday is a special occasion, and kids love to have a blast on their special day. For my daughter’s 9th birthday, she wanted to have a Hannah Montana cake. Hannah Montana cakes’ popularity is on the rise. Hannah Montana is very popular amongst pre-teen girls. My daughter is a great fan of Hannah Montana, so she wanted to surprise her friends with a Hannah Montana cake. She also wanted to have a homemade cake. On my culinary journey, this was a challenge for me.


I decided to be very creative and prepare a cake with the best things I could. I spent hours in stores, looking for creative colourful chocolates, and also paid a great amount of attention to the various available candy shapes. It’s a super easy cake, though it looks complicated. When the final thing came out, it was truly an amazing looking cake, and all the friends of my daughter envied her and praised the preparation.
I’ve used ready made frosting and ice-cream cones for the decoration. Guitar shaped chocolate has also been used, as Hannah Montana is a great singer.


INGREDIENTS:


Sponge Cake – 1 rectangle
White Butter – 250 gms
Icing Sugar – 250 gms
Vanilla essence – 4-5 drops
Ready made frosting – ½ tin – chocolate flavour
Ready made frosting – ½ tin vanilla flavour
Little heart biscuits – 1 packet
Ice cream cones – 2
Lollipops – various shapes - 3 to 4
Sprinklers coloured – as required
Jelly cubes – 1 packet.
Tinned Cherries – 1 cup
Cocoa Powder – 2 tblspn
Birthday Candles – As required

METHOD

Prepare icing by combining icing sugar, white butter, cocoa powder and vanilla essence.

Keep in the fridge for an hour.
Cut the sponge cake into two halves.

Soak each part with the cherry syrup.

Place pitted cherries on the first part of the cake.




Spread a layer of the prepared icing on each cake half.
Cover the first half of the cake with the second half, making layers.
Now cover the entire cake with the icing prepared above.
Level the icing with a broad knife dipped in cold water.
Make a border with the ready made frosting using icing gun.
Decorate the border of the cake with the little heart biscuits.


Decorate the candies, jelly cubes and ice cream cones.

Make ice cream on the ice cream cones with the prepared icing.
Sprinkle the sprinkler on the empty space.
Place the candles on the cake.
Keep in fridge till the party time.




Note: I have used ready-made sponge cake in this recipe for the Hannah Montana cake. But you can also use plain homemade sponge cake instead.
