gift wrapped chocolate cake with butter cream frosting


I have used Basic Chocolate cake and Butter cream icing for preparing Gift wrap. For wrapping i used Normal decorating Red color ribbon.
And For the number i made simple Sugar cookies for the number 400  and decorated with Butter Cream Icing.

For Gift Wrap:

Ingredients:

Chocolate Cake                  - 1
Powdered Sugar                 - 1 cup
Butter                                 - 1/2 cup
Cold Milk                           - 2 tbsp
Vannila Essence                 - 1 tsp

Procedure:

  • You can click for knowing How to prepare Simple Chocolate Cake?. I baked a cake and cut it into Big squares. Now over to Butter Cream Icing procedure.
  • Keep the vessel in which you are going to prepare frosting and beaker hook in fridge for at-least an hour.
  • After an hour, take out vessel, hook and start whipping the butter. And when its fluffy add Powdered Sugar and Vanilla Essence.
  • Whisk well. After some five minutes, add cold milk and start whisking again.
  • The frosting should be of free flowing consistency. If the frosting is too thick, add in 2 tbsp of cold milk or more. Adding milk is purely optional. Frosting should be easily spreadable. If the frosting is too thin, it won't stay on cakes. So be careful, while adding milk. Whisk until it becomes creamy. 
  • Take a big dollop of frosting and then spread it on cake top as well on sides. Then make it smooth!! If crumbs are seen, do a crumb coat.
  • Take a plate in which you are going to serve the cake piece. Add frosting to the center. Place cut ribbons and now carefully transfer the cake with frosting to the center of ribbon and wrap it. Decorate it with Sugar Rice balls.
  • Refrigerate the cake for some time and then serve. Your gift wrapped Cake is ready.

Sugar Cookies           
Butter Cream Icing
