It wouldn’t be a race car theme without plenty of cars in the building. With a theme like this, styling your tables is easy — use toy cars as the perfect two fast birthday decorations .

Making a really good cake that starts with “cream butter and sugar until fluffy….” is actually harder than you think. The butter has to be at the perfect temperature, and you can’t have chilly mixing bowls.Chocolate Mirror Glaze– for the ultimate professional touch! You will need to use the Vanilla Buttercream suggested above to create the supported frosting, and follow all directions in the Mirror Glaze recipe concerning flat and even surface etc. Jam and cream for Victoria Sponge (photo above, halfway down) – spread the upside-down base with strawberry jam, top with lightly sweetened vanilla whipped cream. Place top sponge on then dust with icing sugar / powdered sugar. Note: this cake is a fluffier (and I dare say, better!) version of traditional Victoria sponge cakes which are actually very dense; A two fast kids birthday party is an exciting way to celebrate a child turning two years old. This car-filled party theme is perfect for little ones who love playing with cars, watching cars go by, or just all things fast and exciting! Bake your own birthday cake and create an exciting design with icing, or keep it simple and add a birthday cake topper to match the theme. If baking isn’t your zone of genius, commission a local baker to create a showstopping design that’s not only amazing to look at but delicious, too. 12. Race-Themed Party Bags There are so many options when it comes to two fast birthday party decor, but here are some of my fav ideas to get you started:

If retro race cars are your theme, the perfect pairing is some classic American diner food. While you don’t need to lay on a huge buffet for a 2nd birthday party , you’ll want some food for the hungry little guests and their parents.cup tube pan or bundt pan(grease & dust with flour) – bake 1 hour, but note cake is not quite as fluffy as pictured and described. Still soft, but it’s slightly more dense (still delicious and thoroughly enjoyable, just different to intended)

Eggs– whipped to aerate, these are key to make the cake extraordinarily light and fluffy. You don’t get an eggy flavour; Monochromatic color schemes make my heart happy. Love the vintage blue color palette of this yummy Two Fast birthday cake. @cremebakeryla x 20cm / 8″ cake pan – 21 minutes (if all one one shelf). Otherwise, put 2 on middle shelf and 1 pan on shelf underneath. Bake top 2 pans for 21 minutes, remove from oven. Move bottom pan up and bake for another 2 minutes then remove.De-chill icy cold mixing bowls– Cold kitchen? Cold bowls! Run them under warm tap water then dry before using. Not hot tap water – just warm. Why? Eggs aerate faster and better when slightly warm. Cold bowl will lower temperature of eggs. This is a general useful baking tip – eg softened butter creamed in an icy cold bowl will make it firm up. Use these easy American diner food recipes as a starting point to put together your mini menu. Adapt the recipes to make them suitable for your younger diners, and offer something tasty for your guests of all ages. 9. Car-Themed Party Games I don’t want to get too cake nerdy with you… but one sign of a well made cake is an even crumb. No large tunnels or lots of irregular size holes. It looks and tastes velvety –a similar plush texture to Red Velvet Cake.

Interestingly, baking experts will recognise the method and ingredients in this cake to be very similar to what is called a Hot Milk Cake in America – albeit strangely it’s often described as a “dense” cake, presumably because they don’t preserve the egg aeration to the extent I insist we do and also because sometimes it’s baked in bundt pans which takes far longer to bake (= dense cake).And with all that – I’m finally done.Finally happy. This is THE Vanilla Cake recipe that is my best all rounder. For birthday cakes, special occasions, to make to impress the pants off your family and friends.
