  • Total Time: 1 hour
  • Yield: 8 servings

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 box of vanilla cake mix
  • 1 cup of fresh or frozen mixed berries
  • 2 teaspoons of edible glitter or shimmering sugar
  • 1/2 cup of unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup of powdered sugar
  • 2 tablespoons of milk
  • Food coloring (preferably bright red or blue)
  • Decorative edible flowers (optional)
  • Colored sprinkles and edible gold accents

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare the cake mix as per package instructions, adding food coloring for vibrant layers. Bake in a greased pan for 25-30 minutes, then allow to cool completely.
  2. Mix berries with sugar and lemon juice. Heat slightly for a jam-like filling, then chill.
  3. Beat softened butter and powdered sugar until fluffy. Add milk and food coloring. Mix until smooth. Sprinkle edible glitter for shimmer.
  4. Slice cooled cake into layers if desired. Spread berry filling between layers. Cover with vibrant buttercream, then decorate with edible flowers, sprinkles, gold, and shimmer.

Notes

  • Use a variety of berries for different flavors and colors.
  • Ensure cake is completely cooled before frosting to prevent melting.
  • Decorate with edible flowers and gold for a whimsical appearance.
  • Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days or freeze for longer storage.
