Christmas Birthday Cake
My niece was celebrating her birthday very closely to Christmas, so I made her this cake, which is perfect for kids. I’ve added the sprinkles close to serving the cake- unfortunately, the longer you let them stay on the cream, the more color they bleed, which makes the cake look like a total disaster. So, I guess that’s my little tip on how to avoid this situation in advanced.
