I bought a set of three 4-inch cake pans for the top tier of Ava’s birthday cake, and I’ve been looking for a reason to make a miniature layer cake with them. Fortunately, our friend Dave’s birthday provided a good opportunity. I was short on time, though, so I used a dark chocolate cake mix, and I added a cup of peanut butter to a tub of vanilla frosting instead of making buttercream. Very easy (and, I think, pretty darn cute, too).

Before I met you, Rebecca, I thought cake was made only from store-bought mixes and pre-made icing…

That’s a nice size for a cake. “Big” cakes last a long time unless you’re making them for company. I love the peanut butter idea!
And speaking of company, I have a wonderful excuse to make the dark rum bundt cake this weekend! I’m going to try your baker’s grease suggestion.
