Ombre Cake with Buttercream Frosting

Vanilla and Chocolate layers come together in this Ombre Cake with Buttercream Frosting inspired by Surprise Inside Cakes written by Amanda Rettke of I Am Baker!

I have to tell you, I am not a cake decorator. I’ve said it before, many, many times. It’s why you don’t see many decorated cakes on my site. I’ve even taken the Wilton Decorating Classes. What I discovered during those classes is that it just wasn’t fun to make a decorated cake.

Through blogging, I’ve had the opportunity to meet (online) Amanda Rettke of I Am Baker and become friends. She is such a sweet person, always generous with her knowledge and time.

Amazed by her beautiful creations, I’d envy her talent with every single cake she’d make.  She’s the original creator of the famous Rose Cake! Amanda’s cakes aren’t just beautiful on the outside though. She also puts surprises on the inside. A candle in a Pumpkin Cake, a Bee in a Beehive cake, A ring for an engagement cake.

It was no surprise that Amanda put all her talent into an incredibly user friendly instructional book to make her Surprise Inside Cakes!

Surprise Inside Cakes by Amanda Rettke of Iambaker.net

Every word, every instruction, every step by step photo (especially the photos) had me wanting to run to the kitchen to make one of her cakes. After reading this book, cover to cover and drooling over her cakes, I felt ready to make the Rainbow Heart Cake on the front cover of her book! As easy as she makes it all look, I knew I needed to take baby steps.

I decided to start out simple with her Ombre Cake.

Did I mention her cake recipes? Amanda’s cool with box mixes or with using your own recipe for the cake but she boasts that her recipes don’t dome. Not having to level a cake, yup, I was sold! I can tell you, and you can see it here in the photos, no leveling required. (I did miss the cake scraps from cutting off the dome.) Her vanilla cake recipe was so light and airy, a true vanilla cake.

And the chocolate cake recipe? It might just be the best chocolate cake I’ve ever had. And you know I’ve had my fair share of chocolate cake.

An Ombre cake is is easy to make. A great starter cake, if you want to try out Amanda’s cake creations.

For the decoration. I used the 1M Tip. I considered doing the roses all over the cake but chickened out at the last minute. I used Amanda’s star technique and just got sloppy with it. I ended up with what I like to think of as a ruffled effect. It took me maybe 15 minutes to decorate the entire cake. And it didn’t matter that my frosting wasn’t perfectly piped, evenly spaced. If I noticed a spot where I could still see cake, I just piped in more frosting.

To create the lighter chocolate frosting (the middle layer) I combined about 1 cup of the chocolate frosting with 2 cups of the vanilla frosting.

    Can I say that this cake is beyond stunning and is making me want to start a bit of baking in stilettos. This book is a must this season – and her cakes don’t dome – I need to try that!!! Fabulous job Joan!

    I think you mean “Ombre” – the French term for graduated color (shades going from light to dark). “Hombre” is the Spanish term for “man.” Similar pronunciations, but very different meanings.

    What’s my favorite cake? Um, let’s see.. I’d have to say anything chocolate. However, vanilla, carrot, spice and lemon are good too. Ok, I’d have to say anything with icing..or simply with the word “cake” in its name. Sorry, I have a sweet tooth..hard to decide. Good thing I love to bake! ๐Ÿ˜‰

    I love a triple chocolate cake with a chocolate butter frosting, looks like marshmellow and does not taste overly sweet.
    5Tbsp. flour -cook flour and water till translusent, set aside to cool, blend butter and sugar till smooth,
    1 cup of water add flour mixture to sugar and butter mixture and vanilla and mix for 10 minutes till of 1 cup of sugar marshmellow consistancy. Enjoy!
    1 lb. of butter *Melt 1 cup chocolate chips for a chocolate frosting.*
    1 Tsp vanilla

    I am really loving any kind of chocolate cake frosted with Hershey’s especially dark chocolate frosting recipe. The frosting really takes it over the top and you don’t even need a mixer. You can use a whisk.
