I'm not going to lie to you... yes I have watched Hannah Montana and yes I somewhat enjoyed it. And yes my middle name sounds like Miley (as in Cyrus) but it's spelled better (Meyle) and I had it first! So needless to say, I was pretty excited when Lina asked me to make a cake for her daughter Mayra's birthday. I was definitely not going to attempt drawing a likeness of Hannah Montana so I went with the next best option... a guitar. I found a billion pictures of her purple guitar so that's what I went with. I then cut out "Happy Birthdya Mayra" in the same text format as the logo and i was veeeeery happy with the way it turned out. And from the look on Mayra's face when I dropped it off, she was happy too! I made a strawberry cake and filled the inside with a strawberry icing with lots of chopped fresh strawberries. Check out the cake recipe and the pictures!!
Strawberry Cake
1 box vanilla cake mix
1 3oz box strawberry gelatin
15 oz frozen strawberries, thawed and pureed
4 eggs
1/2 c vegetable oil
1/4 c water
Combine all ingredients and mix well. (Make sure strawberries are completely thawed prior to pureeing them to avoid issues). Bake in 2 round pans at 350 degrees for approximately 20-25 minutes. The layer I put in the middle was just a vanilla icing with lots of chopped fresh strawberries.
