How to Get Rid of a Muffin Top Cake

All right, I'm having fun in here sharing with y'all what I've learned over the years in the kitchen

Look at our cakes. They're beautiful, but they kind of look like muffin tops, don't they

So I can share with you a little trick that I have learned from my friends that are in the bakery business

Now, they don't want a humped-up cake, so they're just going to take their serrated knife

and they're just going to cut that muffin top off of there

giving them a level cake, and they're going to ice this just like you normally would

Yummy. Look at that beautiful, moist cake. Since I've cut that little muffin top off

we could see the inside of that cake, and it looks yummy

So we're going to remove our next layer. We're going to sit it up there

and we're going to do the same thing again. And this is going to render us a beautiful, level cake

All right, now I know you're thinking, Oh, Paula, what am I going to do with that cake

I don't want to throw it away. And I like to assemble my cakes using toothpicks or I take my long wooden skewers and I break those off and that going to keep my cake from sliding So like I said I know that you thinking

I have got a lot of wasted cake, Paula. Well, let me tell you what you can quickly do with this

I'm going to crumble this up, and I'm going to make us cake balls

So I've crumbled up my cake, and I'm adding some frosting and I'm fixing to get in there with my hands

to form our cake balls. But before I reach in with my hands

and start forming balls, I'm going to want to spray my hands

so that my cake won't stick to my hands. So we're just going to form our balls

just like that. And then we're going to put them in the refrigerator

and let them set up. And then we'll put our little sticks in them

And then we can roll them in coconut. We can melt chocolate and dip them down in chocolate

white chocolate, milk chocolate. We can roll them in sprinkles, just whatever you think your children would enjoy

Because you see, Aunt Paula would never suggest to you that you throw perfectly good cake in the trash

We got cake and cake balls
