Spiderman Cake

This is my Spiderman cake that I made for my son's 4th birthday since it is his favorite character at the moment. I got the idea from http://www.groovy-kids-parties.com/spidermancake.html and it turned out pretty good. This was my first character cake that I have made and hope to make a character cake for my girls' birthdays next year.

Honey Bun Cake Pictures

So tonight I had the chance to make the Honey Bun Cake that I posted the recipe for earlier. I think it turned out pretty good. It did have that flavor of honey bun a bit when you eat the part with the frosting on it. Below are a couple of pics. I used a bundt pan to bake the cake in, so because of that, it took about 65 to 70 minutes to bake in the oven.

Honey Bun Cake

Doesn't that sound yummy just by the title. This is one that I definitely will have to try soon.

Honey Bun Cake

Ingredients

    1 (18.25 ounce) package yellow cake mix
    3/4 cup vegetable oil
    4 eggs
    1 (8 ounce) container sour cream
    1 cup brown sugar
    1 tablespoon ground cinnamon

Frosting Ingredients

    2 cups confectioners' sugar
    4 tablespoons milk
    1 tablespoon vanilla extract

   

Directions

   1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).

   2. In a large mixing bowl, combine cake mix, oil, eggs and sour cream. Stir by hand approximately 50 strokes, or until most large lumps are gone. Pour half of the batter into an ungreased 9x13 inch glass baking dish. Combine the brown sugar and cinnamon, and sprinkle over the batter in the cake pan. Spoon the other half of the batter into the cake pan, covering the brown sugar and cinnamon. Twirl the cake with a butter knife or icing knife until it looks like a honey bun (or whatever design you want to make).

  3. Bake in preheated oven for 40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. Frost cake while it is still fairly hot. Serve warm.

  4. To Make the frosting: In a small bowl, whisk together the confectioner's sugar, milk and vanilla until smooth. Pin It
