So happy to write and share this special post today. Our friends, Christine and Jim are expecting baby #2. Charlie’s going to be a big brother! Shout it from the rooftops!
Congratulations G & P Family!!!!!!

Here’s what you’ll need

Start by leveling the cakes. You can also use a cake level, but we couldn’t find ours!

Use a round glass to cut circles in the 2 middle layers

Start layering the cakes, putting frosting in between each layer

Once the layers are stacked, pour the M&M’s in the circle. We bought these cute personalized M&M’s. Swoon!

Now start frosting the edges and top using an offset spatula. Try to be as even as possible

We cut a circle of parchment paper and temporarily placed in the center so the M&M crumbs wouldn’t dirty the center

Now time for the crumbs. We crushed pink and blue

Need to work on my writing a bit (A LOT) but still…look how pretty!
We made 2 batches of this White Chocolate Yellow Layer Cake and whipped up our ‘go to’ Vanilla Buttercream

- 4 9-inch round cakes
- 4 cups vanilla buttercream frosting
- pink or blue M&Ms
- Start with 4 completely cool cakes. Level the cakes by trimming off the rounded tops either with a knife or with a cake level.
- Stack 2 layers on top of each other and use a round drinking glass (about 3-4 inches) to cut cut a round circle in both centers.
- To assemble cake, place 1 cake layer (NOT one of the ones with the center removed) on a cake stand or flat serving platter and spread 1/3 cup frosting on top using an offset spatula. Do not frost the center where the cut out layers will lay.
- Top the bottom layer with another cake (this one with center removed); spread 1/3 cup frosting evenly on top. Add the third layer (another cake with the center removed); spread 1/3 cup frosting on top.
- Pour the M&M’s into the cut out center and gently press candies to level. Top the cake with the last full cake layer.
- Frost the sides and top of cake using remaining frosting.
- If you want to add crushed M&M’s to the sides, cut out a circle out of parchment paper and lay it on top of the cake. Sprinkle the crushed M&Ms all over the sides and outer edges on the top. Try to cover as completely as you can. Carefully peel away the parchment circle. Finish the cake off with writing on top.
- Store in a cool place until serving.
