Ingredients

Instructions

  • Bake the chocolate cakes and vanilla cake and allow them to cool completely.
  • Prepare frosting and color them with gel colors. I recommend buying red and black frosting because it is time-consuming to develop those colors at home.
  • Place a chocolate cake on a serving dish.
  • Use a spatula to spread white icing on the outer edges, leaving the center empty.
  • Cut out a circle from the middle of the vanilla cake to make it hollow.
  • Place this hollow cake on top of the chocolate cake.
  • Press gently to secure it properly.
  • Fill the hollow center with small Pokemon toys and sprinkles.
  • Use a spatula to spread white icing on the outer edges of the vanilla cake.
  • Place the other chocolate cake on top.
  • Press gently to secure it properly.
  • Ice the side of the cake in white icing. You can ice the top too but I decided to skip frosting the top.
  • Cover the sides with sprinkles.
  • Use a toothpick to create a rough template on top of the cake.
  • Place a circle cutter in the center.
  • Leave a thin (about 2 inch wide) panel in the center empty without icing.
  • Fill a piping bag with red icing and attach a small star tip (Wilton's tip # 21). Pipe red stars on the top half of the cake.
  • Fill a piping bag with white icing and and attach a small star tip (Wilton's tip # 21). Pipe white stars on the top half of the cake.
  • Remove the circle cutter.
  • Fill a piping bag with black icing and and attach a small star tip (Wilton's tip # 21). Pipe black stars on the panel, leaving a small circular space in the middle empty.
  • Fill the empty space by piping white stars.
  • Stick a small Pikachu character on top of the cake, if you like and enjoy!
