Baking a Delicious Base: The Foundation of Your Masterpiece
Simple Vanilla Cake Recipe
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
- 1 ½ cups (190g) all-purpose flour
- ¾ cup (180ml) milk
- ¾ cup (150g) granulated sugar
- ½ cup (115g) unsalted butter, softened
- ¼ teaspoon salt
Instructions:
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9 inch round, square or sheet cake pan in the desired shape.
- In a small bowl, sift together flour, salt and baking powder.
- Fit your mixer into a big bowl, and cream the soft butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat the eggs separately, add vanilla, and mix well.
- Mix dry and wet ingredients gradually, replacing with milk in alternating steps, and mix only until combined- no overmixing.
- Pour prepared batter into, and bake for about 30-35 minutes or until a skewer comes clean inside.
- Let the cornish pastry cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then turn it out onto a wire rack to complete cooling.
Flavor Differences
- Honey Cake: Add 2-3 tbsp of honey to the batter; everybody will remember that the cake has honey since Bear loves it.
- Berry Cake: Combine with ¾ cup of fresh or frozen berries, raspberry, blueberry, or strawberries.
- Chocolate Cake: Add ¼ cup of flour substitute in unsweetened cocoa powder with this chocolate cake mixture.
Decorating Made Easy: Simple Techniques for Stunning Results

Buttercream Frosting Techniques:
It’s buttercream frosting-the most accessible medium to work with when decorating a cake. Then comes how to work well with that medium:
- Crumb coat: It will cover all the crumbs in the cake, and then there’s an area for a clean, flat surface for that top layer. For that, put the cake in the refrigerator for some time about 15 to 20 minutes, in order for it to set.
- Patterns and color combination: Well, of course, pink and white for Masha’s dress, brown for the bear, and green for the forest. And with gel food coloring, it brightens up more.
- Piping techniques: There are many piping tips and together, they can produce very distinct effects. A star tip to make rosettes for Masha’s dress, a round one for outlining details, and a grass tip to create a texturized forest floor.
-
Sprinkles and Edible Images:
- Creative sprinkles: Sprinkles can add so much color and texture easily. Pink and white sprinkles would be perfect for the girl’s or forest theme, and colorful sprinkles add that party feel to it.
- Edible Images: Edible images of Masha and the Bear are readily available online or at baking supply stores. Peel off the backing and place the image on the frosted cake for an instant decoration.

Toy Cake Toppers:
- Masha and the Bear Toys: Using Masha and the Bear toys as cake toppers is a quick and charming way to decorate. Ensure the toys are clean and food-safe.
