Birthday Extravaganza, part II

8/30/2011

Oh, you thought that the birthday was over, did you?  Well, in the infamous words of "Mad Dog" Tannen, you thought wrong!

No, no.  We're talking about a guy whose birthday became infamously known as "birthday week" as a child.  So I guess now that he's 30, "extended birthday weekend" is a more reasonable way to celebrate.  There was a specific request for white cake with white frosting.  After doing some fairly extensive research, I found two things: 1) there were no white cake with white frosting recipes from any reliable sources and 2) I didn't feel like spending all day making up for the gaping hole in the white/white cake universe.  So I did what people don't normally admit to (particularly people who maintain baking blogs):  I use a box.  I've found that using a boxed cake and a small package of pudding mix is a good quick fix.  Less exciting for me, but a nice alternative when you just want a quick cake.  The cake, combined with a basic buttercream frosting (from a recipe that called for a whole 1/2 cup of milk!), made for a slightly dowdy, if not delicious cake.

This cake, while not as complex or beautiful as the others, was quite delicious. You are a stellar sister. What will he make you on your Birthday?
