DGD will be with us and turning 3 on Shabbos. I'd like to make her a small cake, or cupcakes. But while I'm not terrible at baking for Pesach, I'm the type that usually spreads canned icing.

How easy is it to do some kind of pretty frosted cake that will keep overnight? How easy to make some kind of pink icing that I can make roses with?

Yes!! Last year my grandson turned 3 and I made chocolate cupcakes with icing and colored sprinkles. I don't know about pink icing though. They were a real hit!

I'm gonna post the choc cake recipe but I know I found it here on a Pesach cake thread. It's called I can't beleive this is Pesach cake or something like that. It has Pesach vinegar in it.

Yes, you should try - it will be really good and it's not hard at all!

Moist Chocolate Cake
• 1 tsp baking soda
• 1/2 tsp lemon juice or Pesach vinegar
• 5 eggs
• 1 1/2 cups sugar
• 1 cup oil
• 1 Tbsp vanilla sugar OR 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1/2 cup cocoa
• pinch coffee
• 3/4 cup potato starch OR tapioca starch

In a small bowl combine the baking soda and lemon juice. Set aside.
Whisk together the eggs, sugar, and oil. Add the vanilla, cocoa, coffee, potato starch and activated baking soda mixture, and mix until well combined.
Pour into a greased 9x13 pan or two 9" round pans.
Bake in oven preheated to 350 until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean, about 35-40 minutes.

Optional glaze: melt together 2 cups confectioners sugar, 1 stick margarine, 1/3 cup cocoa, 1 tsp vanilla extract and 1/8 cup water in a double boiler. Spread over cooled cake.

You can do a very nice glaze with just cocoa, confectionery sugar & hot water. I don't know about pink either : )

Maybe white (use lemon juice) & a drop of pomegranate or beet juice.

And of course you know, in case you don't buy confectionery sugar, you can make it from regular sugar in the blender!

Use beet juice to get a pretty color. Leave out the cocoa and use it instead of the water.
Get chocolate molds to make chocolate flowers.

it doesn't have to be that elaborate ~ just yummy

go for my spongecake recipe [or yours]

macerate some fresh strawberries with a little sugar

make whip - if you use any sort of pesach whip

decorate with some whole berries sliced upside down from each side & not all the way through to mimic a rose

Party happy birthday to your cutie !!! Happy Birthday cake
