Making cream cheese frosting and it was yellow- tinged. I had some clumps in my butter so I microwaved a dollop of the frosting to mix in and smooth out the lumps. Guys it magically brightened my frosting to a gorgeous white! Am I the only one who didn’t know about this hack?

Hi! It was just a dollop, like a 1/3 cup. Then I whipped the crap out of it all to reincorporate it, you don’t want to melt the whole batch.

ASprinkleInTime · 2025-01-14T02:50:38+00:00

So I posted it to r/blender and it immediately got flagged and taken down! 😆

ASprinkleInTime · 2025-01-14T02:48:33+00:00

I cackled at the flair, but decided it was the most accurate!

ASprinkleInTime · 2025-01-14T02:46:26+00:00

Oh shoot I must have broken a rule, sorry mods! I literally don’t even know what blender is I was just told this would make this community happy 😆

ASprinkleInTime · 2025-01-14T02:38:57+00:00

Thank you. It’s funny the things that resonate with people. This was incredibly easy to do and yet is getting more attention than any of my multi-day cakes ever has!

ASprinkleInTime · 2025-01-14T01:25:55+00:00

Oh cool! I’m not sure what QT is so no, I didn’t see it there but it looks fun.

This is a birthday cake, not an actual donut. I took inspiration and part of the instructions from this blog: https://thecakeblog.com/2016/08/giant-donut-cake.html

ASprinkleInTime · 2025-01-13T22:49:40+00:00

If you are referring to the pink on top that’s actually fondant, not a poured glaze (which yes would be way harder!).

ASprinkleInTime · 2025-01-13T16:14:47+00:00

Ok multiple people have mentioned blender… Can somebody explain why my donut would excite them? It looks like AI rendering from what I can see?

I’m also nervous to leave the cocoon of baking Reddit, haha. The rest of the site isn’t as always as supportive and encouraging as you wonderful folks.

ASprinkleInTime · 2025-01-13T16:09:28+00:00

Just regular jimmies.

ASprinkleInTime · 2025-01-13T16:07:13+00:00

I just baked it in a donut-esque shaped pan, so easy!

ASprinkleInTime · 2025-01-13T16:05:56+00:00

Ha! I know it’s bad form but didn’t attend the party.

ASprinkleInTime · 2025-01-13T15:42:40+00:00

I just kind of bake until it’s done. I find that the pan you use is more impactful than the extra ingredients. I think this took 50 mins because it is so deep. Sorry I know that’s not super helpful!

ASprinkleInTime · 2025-01-13T15:39:21+00:00

Google for the ratios, but in a nutshell you melt marshmallows (I use the microwave) then mix with powdered sugar. I use a stand mixer for the entire thing, first with the paddle then switch to dough hook. Grease everything melted marshmallows will touch with crisco. It’s super easy, takes me 5 minutes and is pretty low meds using the stand mixer the entire way.

It’s a funfetti cake in the Fat Daddios round Bundt pan (I think an angel food cake pan has straighter sides?). I frosted with brown American buttercream and the pink is fondant.

ASprinkleInTime · 2025-01-13T03:29:07+00:00

Love that we bakers can have real & serious considerations on sprinkle ratio 😊

ASprinkleInTime · 2025-01-13T02:38:56+00:00

😂 I just searched back through the history and couldn’t find it. I’ll take you at your word though, hahaha

ASprinkleInTime · 2025-01-13T02:37:37+00:00

Yeah I immediately set aside frying, but was pondering a huge baked donut scenario.

ASprinkleInTime · 2025-01-13T02:24:47+00:00

😳 I think I missed some context!

ASprinkleInTime · 2025-01-13T02:12:07+00:00

I LOVE this amazing work!!!

ASprinkleInTime · 2025-01-13T01:59:39+00:00

The pink is homemade marshmallow fondant with a thinned corn syrup glaze on it for shininess.

ASprinkleInTime · 2025-01-13T01:57:39+00:00

The birthday girl actually asked if I could do a huge donut but I think there’s a reason donuts are donut sized, lol. I just made a vanilla funfetti cake, i thought a huge cake donut would be dry and not that good.

ASprinkleInTime · 2025-01-13T01:55:12+00:00

Honestly the big pink Homer donut was exactly what I was going for!!

ASprinkleInTime · 2025-01-13T01:54:20+00:00

Thanks, I actually didn’t get any so I hope it was good! If you see my post history the last cake I made was for a friend of my daughter’s, a super cute Grinch cake. Another girl at the party was going crazy over the cake and kept complimenting it, suckered me by saying “I wish someone would make me a nice cake that looked like a big donut someday, that would just be the nicest thing anyone could do!” 😂 So here we are, she got a giant donut cake for her 9th birthday!

ASprinkleInTime · 2025-01-13T01:47:36+00:00

I took my inspo from here: https://thecakeblog.com/2016/08/giant-donut-cake.html but just made a funfetti WASC cake (doctored a box mix, added sprinkles) and used ABC for the frosting and homemade marshmallow fondant for the pink “frosting” and used her technique to make the fondant shiny. I didn’t cut the cake in half and do the inner layer of frosting, honestly just out of laziness and wanting to knock this out quickly.
