The mirror glaze is the most challenging part of the recipe. This will ensure your frosting doesn't melt while applying the mirror glaze. Freeze the cake uncovered for 1 hour, until the buttercream is very firm.Be careful not to mix the colors too much while frosting the cake.Spoon the colored buttercream alternately into a piping bag or onto the cake and frost the cake with an offset spatula. I recommend using gel or paste food coloring.ĭivide the buttercream between 4 bowls and tint with black, blue, white and pink. Be sure to use a food coloring that's suitable for cake batters, buttercreams, icing, and icing. The buttercream is regular vanilla buttercream with food coloring. Be careful not to mix up the colors too much. Then carefully run the tip of a knife through the batter to draw a pattern. Spoon the remaining batter on top of the planets to cover them completely. Arrange the baked cake pops on top of the batter in the two cake pans. Stir until evenly colored.Īlternately, spoon about ¼ of the colored batter into two 8" (20cm) cake pans just until the bottom is fully covered. Add black food coloring in one of the large bowls, white in the other, pink in one of the small bowls, and aztec blue in the other small bowl. Note: I chose a white cake for this recipe because it's a very light batter and perfect for coloring but you can use your favorite vanilla cake as well.ĭivide the cake batter into 4 bowls (2 large bowls and 2 small bowls). Alternately spoon the colored batter into the mold, making a few swirls with the tip of a knife or toothpick. I recommend using a silicone cake pop mold to bake the planets. Tip: Additionally, I add a bit of white food coloring to every color to brighten up the color of the batter.
I use yellow and red for the Sun, green and blue (and white if desired) for the Earth, teal and white for Uranus, and purple with white for Neptune.Īdd as much food coloring as described on the package until you reach the desired color. I chose to make the Sun, Earth, Uranus, and Neptune for this recipe. I use the following colors for the cake pops: yellow, red, green, navy blue, purple, white, and Aztec blue (teal tone).
