This is a great way to turn a simple cake and icing recipe — or your favourite go-tos — into an impressive crowd pleaser. Unleash your creativity with different shapes of cutters and experiment with piping tips to give your mini cakes a unique presentation.

Fancy Mini Cakes

Tip: To change it up, you can substitute any cake, icing, filling or garnish of your choice.

For chocolate version, use a chocolate buttercream recipe, pipe dollops in between layers and cover the top. Dust with espresso powder and garnish with chocolate curls and chocolate candy pearls.

Hot tip: Have leftover cake or buttercream? Both will keep for a month in the freezer. When ready to use, remove to the fridge to defrost slowly. Whip buttercream to bring it back to a workable texture and assemble for your next party!

Number Of Ingredients 21

Ingredients

1 ½ cups flour
1 cup granulated sugar
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp baking powder
½ tsp salt
¼ cup unsalted butter, softened
¼ cup canola oil
2 eggs, room temperature
½ cup buttermilk
2 tsp vanilla bean paste
1 cup raspberries
¾ cup raspberry jam
¾ cup 35% cream
¼ cup icing sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
Pinch of salt
1 cup raspberries
1 tsp sugar
Raspberries
Edible flowers
Icing sugar

Steps:

Vanilla Cake:

Heat the oven to 325F degrees. Line a medium (17 x 11-inch) rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.

Whisk together the dry ingredients in the bowl of a stand mixer. Attach the bowl to the stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment. Add the butter and mix on low speed until the mixture resembles wet sand, about five to six minutes.

Whisk together the remaining ingredients in a small bowl, then add them to the butter mixture and mix until just combined. Spread evenly onto the prepared baking sheet. Bake until golden, about 12-15 minutes. Cool completely, then cut into 24 two-inch rounds.

Raspberry Cream Filling:

Mash together the raspberries and ¼ cup of the jam in a small bowl with a fork. Beat in the cream, icing sugar, vanilla and salt in a large bowl with a hand mixer on high until stiff peaks form. Fold in the remaining raspberry jam. Spoon the mixture into a piping bag fitted with a medium star tip.

Macerated Raspberry Fruit Filling:

Mash the raspberries together with the sugar. Stir together with a fork. Set aside. (As it sits the sugar will draw the juices out of the raspberries.)

Assembly:

To assemble, place 12 cake rounds onto a serving platter and pipe cream around the border of each, leaving a half inch space in the centre.
