I hope I can remember this when I have grandchildren to make birthday cakes for!
It's pretty easy. Pipe circles of colored batter (including black) over a thin layer of plain batter, then cover with the rest of the plain batter and bake. Then when you cut the cake, the lines are cross-sections and look like spots. Do it for three layers to get multiple spots throughout the cake.I hope I can remember this when I have grandchildren to make birthday cakes for!
Yeah, I watched the video all the way through and it made sense when she demonstrated it but don't think I would have ever figured out to do that on my own. Seemed like the cake batter she used was a lot thicker than what I'm used to, too. It's going to be quite a few years before I'll get to try this though since none of my kids are in the "I'm ready to have a kid" stage yet. That's ok--at least one of them plans to in the next year or two. Maybe that would make a good first birthday cake when the time comes--if I remember it.It's pretty easy.

Sounds easy, but I wouldn't have thought of it.
My grandkids are all in different states from me, and I'm trying that bad boy this weekend.Yeah, I watched the video all the way through and it made sense when she demonstrated it but don't think I would have ever figured out to do that on my own.

Post us some pics! Will be curious to hear if it was as easy to do as she made it look.My grandkids are all in different states from me, and I'm trying that bad boy this weekend.

Yikes! Where the heck were you? Cue that song from "Jaws"Hi - ho - hi - ho, back to work you go.
We just got back from vacation on Sunday, I have 16,874 unread posts. Someone just give me the lowdown please - I'm 21 pages behind on this thread alone.
I hope everyone is doing great - no tragedies or sadness for anyone.
Neesy - kick my rear into gear! I need to get back on track with my workout. I haven't gone at all this summer. Today I blamed it on my haircut. I got a great haircut on vacation, but my friend that I workout with will give me the business about it. She likes long hair. I look better with short. And I don't want to hear her crap, so that's my excuse today. Oh - and the a/c repairman is coming - it 7:01 and he's still not here, but he says he's coming, we're just his last stop.
Oh hey - I saw a real shark - we were swimming and the lifeguard blew his whistle and herded us out of the water - there was an 8' bull shark passing through. Everyone was safe, but I needed a little courage in a bottle to get back in. My sister in law took this picture.
You are such a "besmircher" - now say 'sorry' like a good CanadianHey Spidey. I don't wish to besmirch you, but are you sure it's only Wednesday!!!!!!
Beautiful to look at, but I am not sure I could eat that - leave it up to the kids to try it!
6 Famous Rock Stars When They Were Children. Can you name them all? Answers here:
I think the first one, top left, is Alice Cooper, and the next is John Lennon. I think the last one, bottom right, is Bob Dylan.
Bottom center, maybe Robert Plant? Bottom left, maybe David Bowie?
