Birthday cakes are for people of all ages. When learning how to make birthday cake your designs should be matched with the celebrant’s personality and preferences. The celebrant should feel special upon seeing the birthday cake. Boys would be excited seeing their favorite cartoon heroes on their cake. Whereas girls would love a pinkish motif, especially when there’s a princess or Barbie doll gracing the cake in the middle. It’s even more fun when doing it for adults – try fruit-flavored cakes for the health conscious or simply a creamy chocolate cake that no one can refuse. Do these steps to please the celebrant:

1. Get all the things you need like a generous 2 tablespoons of plain butter, 6 tablespoons of sugar, ½ cup milk, 1 ½ cups flour, half slice of lemon, two medium eggs and 2 teaspoons of baking powder. Also prepare three mixing containers, a durable wooden spoon, plastic measuring cup, spoon measurements, handy egg-beater, spacious baking pan, fine flour sifter, lemon squeezer and cake knife.

2. Break the two eggs but separate the egg whites from the yolks. Beat them separately but prioritize the whites followed by the yolks. This is to keep your beater tidy. In an empty bowl, add 6 tablespoons of refined sugar. Then mix 2 tablespoons of heated butter in it.

3. Ready the wooden spoon to beat the butter and sugar mixture until they blend well. You will feel that the beating will be lighter when they are beaten enough. Pour in the egg yolks and continue beating for five more minutes. Dash salt into the mixture.

4. Put the sifted flour into the mixing container. Set aside the measured milk and squeeze the half lemon into the egg mixture. Pour the egg or wet mixture into the mixing container with the sifted flour. Blend them all together using a spoon.

5. Take the milk and add it gradually to the mixture until finishing the ½ cup of milk. Continue mixing in folds until smooth. Crush the lumps and hardened particles if there are any. Set the oven. Standard cakes are baked in moderate ovens, whereas smaller ones are placed in hot ones.

6. Grease the selected baking pan according to the desired size. Finally, add the baking powder to the batter and the egg whites that are fork-beaten. Blend the batter completely before loading them into the baking pan. Check after 20 minutes of baking.

7. Straw test the cake after the standard baking time. Do not do this prematurely because constant opening of the oven can delay or ruin the process. When the measuring device comes up clean, let the cake cool down.

8. Apply your planned decorations after making sure that the cake is perfectly formed. Cover the base with buttercream frosting or vanilla icing. Use tinted icings to match the concept of the birthday cake.

You will never run out of ideas on how to make birthday cake when you first investigate the celebrant’s nature and preferences. Get to know the celebrant – at least the basic interests of the person. From there, you can surely come up with a design that will mean so much to him or her.
