You know what is an awesome way to deliver messages, both sweet and sassy? WITH CAKE. And some people need you to really spell things out for them. Which is why I was super excited to find a cake stencil kit complete with an alphabet set and a little sprinkle-shaker.
Icing sugar on chocolate cakes and cocoa on vanilla cakes is a really simple way to make a plain cake fancy without smothering it in icing. Apparently some people don't like icing? Strange. But it can make for some pretty results. At Christmas last year good ole Martha had some breathtaking cake stencils (photo taken on my not so breathtaking cell phone camera):
So, armed with my new stencil kit and my mom's "speedy chocolate snack cake" recipe (mix 1 1/2 cups of flour, 1 cup granulated sugar, 1/2 cup cocoa powder, 1 tsp baking soda & 1/2 tsp salt in a cake pan; add 1 cup water, 1/2 cup vegetable oil, 2 Tbsp white vinegar & 2 tsp vanilla; stir until well blended; and bake at 350 degrees for 25 minutes) I decided to try some trade-marking:
Badass.
