Crowd-pleasing travel-friendly outdoor party cakes made for Memorial Day, grad celebrations, and that first backyard cookout.
Early summer is full of casual gatherings ~ Memorial Day, graduation parties, and that first backyard cookout of the season. These outdoor party cakes are made for those moments: easy to transport, light enough for warm weather, and just festive enough to mark the occasion. Slice and serve alongside whatever’s coming off the grill, and the dessert piece of the menu is done.
This is one of the best cakes I’ve ever made! I followed your instructions to a T, even though I’d never added lemon juice to cream cheese frosting before. This was made for visiting family. No one could stop eating it, and everyone raved about it! Better flavors if it sits a day. We absolutely loved it! ~Kim
I made this for my husband’s birthday in September and he and his family loved it. I am making it again, this time for Christmas Eve. I will be frosting the raspberries that go on top for a more festive look. The cake is moist and there is a perfect balance of sweetness and the tartness of the berries. Thank you! ~Veronica
Moist, dense and just the right balance of sweet and tart. This one is quickly becoming a family favorite amongst those who aren’t big cake lovers. ~Sue
HUGE hit!!! I am disabled but also a stress baker and this is my go-to whenever I need to bake and I’m having a flare up. It’s so easy, ridiculously sweet, and my friends are always requesting I remake this! ~DSB
