Emma Myles Instagram – Yeah, this was too good to not go on the grid. I asked Chelsea what she wanted for a birthday cake and she was like “oh you know me I’m a basic b—ch when it comes to that stuff I’m happy with a box cake.” And as someone who typically makes cakes from scratch I was trying to figure out how to make that special. Then I had an epiphany. 1 box cake? Not super special. EVERY box cake? Getting warmer. So that’s what I did. I made all of her favorite box cakes plus a brownie layer on the bottom because yolo, I made the buttercream from scratch (something had to be homemade I can’t help it), then I just happened to have a ghost face cake topper because I impulse buy things for baking when I’m bored, the balloons made sense because our theme kind of accidentally became “children’s birthday party”, and then in the same vein the light pink was a cheeky and nostalgic nod to girlhood. It turned out better than I could’ve guessed and it’s now my favorite cake in the history of the world. But be advised if you want to make it, it’s like 20 lbs and super tall. I had to rig my cake carrier with makeshift stilts made out of napkin rings and gorilla tape. Chel you know you are anything but basic. It was an honor to create the cake you deserve.💗💗💗
