This Dessert:
Baby Yitzchok
Sarah gives birth to her and Avraham’s only son, Yitzchok.
What you Need:
Ingredients
1 cake, baked in a loaf pan
¼ cup buttercream frosting
1 cup baby-blue frosting
1 mini cupcake
2 tablespoons green frosting
1 fruit Mento
2 white Mentos
Blue food marker
Black food marker
¼ cup pink/red sprinkles
Things
Knife
Offset spatula
How to Make it:
Score a large egg shape on top of the cake as big as possible.
Cut off the sides of the cake along the line you scored before to form an egg shape.
On top of the cake, at the wide end near the top, frost a large circle of buttercream frosting nearly reaching the sides.
Carefully cover the rest of the cake with baby-blue frosting. Overlap the buttercream frosting circle a drop with baby-blue frosting while still maintaining the circle shape to make sure there is no cake showing.
Frost the top and sides of the mini cupcake with a smooth layer of green frosting.
Place a fruit Mento centered on top of the cupcake to make a pacifier.
Put the cupcake onto the larger cake inside the buttercream circle towards the bottom where the mouth should be.
Draw a blue circle on 2 of the white Mentos with a smaller black circle inside to make eyes.
Put the 2 ‘eye’ Mentos in the buttercream circle where the eyes should go.
Add a small circle of pink/red sprinkles on either side of the ‘pacifier’ where the cheeks belong.
