Ingredients
- 1 box Pillsbury Moist Supreme Devil’s Food Cake
- 3 eggs
- 1/4 cup water
- 1/2 cup oil
Directions
Bake according to directions. Line the baking pans with parchment paper for a surface smoother than baby ass.
- 1 tub Pillsbury Milk Chocolate Frosting
- 1 tub Pillsbury Betty Crocker Triple Chocolate
- Fudge Chip Frosting
- 1 tub Betty Crocker Cream Cheese Frosting
- 1 2.25 oz Cake Mate Red Crystals
- 1 tube Black Icing
writing tip and pastry bag (or sandwich bag). Paper Stencil: Jersey outline, letters if you need
Spread milk chocolate frosting between layers to desired thickness. Lick the spoon and grab another. Spread top and sides of cake with triple fudge chip frosting. Fill in blanks with milk chocolate frosting.
Lay, but do not press, the jersey stencil on to the cake. Shake on the sprinkles liberally. Really liberally. If some sprinkles drift to the side of the cake, let it. Peel off stencil and refrost if necessary.
Next, pop the writer’s tip through a corner of the sandwich bag unless you have a pastry bag. Fill it up with cream cheese frosting and outline the sleeves and collar.
Write “Chicago” from armpit to armpit, or any other name. My boyfriend’s name is Cristobal, so this (despite my terrible penmanship) fit well.
Write a block-letter “23” underneath, and you got yourself an authentic Michael Jordan Rookie Jersey Birthday Cake.
Tips: If you goof up on the lettering or outlining, relax. The sprinkles provide a surface made for corrections! Just pick it up with a fork, eat it, and try again. Resprinkle if you have too, though I didn’t. I realized I was running over the edge on the “23”, so I trimmed it with said fork. Just run it along the sides, and it picks up whatever it touches.
