Customized Celebration Cake Recipe

Make the Cake Batter

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease your cake pan. 2. In a large mixing bowl, sift together 200 grams of cake flour, 200 grams of granulated sugar, 4 grams of baking powder, and a pinch of salt. Set aside. 3. In a separate bowl, beat together 100 grams of butter or oil with 1-2 eggs until the mixture is light and fluffy. Add 5 ml of vanilla extract and blend well. 4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix. 5. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top with a spatula. 6. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let the cake cool completely before icing.

Prepare the Fondant Icing

1. In a large bowl, gently combine 200-300 grams of powdered sugar with approximately 100 grams of glucose syrup and a small amount of water. Stir until you achieve a smooth, pliable texture. 2. Add any desired colors or flavors to your fondant at this stage and knead thoroughly to ensure even distribution. 3. Roll out the fondant on a surface lightly dusted with powdered sugar to prevent sticking. 4. Carefully drape the rolled fondant over your cooled cake, smoothing out any wrinkles or air bubbles with your hands or a fondant smoother. 5. Trim off any excess fondant and decorate as desired.
