Delicious 3D Character Cake for Any Occasion

Start by preheating your oven to 180°C (350°F). In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened butter and the granulated sugar.

Beat them together until the mixture becomes light and fluffy. This process helps to incorporate air into your batter, making it rise beautifully.

Now, add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Make sure to thoroughly combine the mixture before moving on to the next ingredient.

Gradually fold in the all-purpose flour and baking powder, alternating with the milk until everything is well mixed.

Pour the batter into a greased cake pan and smooth the top. Bake in your preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Once done, let the cake cool completely before removing it from the pan.

In a medium saucepan over medium heat, add the granulated sugar and let it melt without stirring. Watch it closely to prevent burning.

Once the sugar is melted and is a golden brown color, carefully pour in the heavy cream. Be cautious as it may bubble up!

Stir gently with a wooden spoon until the mixture is smooth, then add the unsalted butter. Continue stirring until the butter melts completely.

Remove the saucepan from heat and allow the caramel to cool before using it as a filling.

Once your cake is cooled, slice it in half horizontally and spread the caramel filling generously between the layers.

After reassembling the cake, use fondant to create the desired character shapes and decorations.

Feel free to be creative and use various colors of fondant to replicate your favorite characters. Mold the fondant into shapes that represent the character you've chosen.

Finally, place your decorations on top of the cake, securing them with a little bit of water or edible glue as necessary. Your beautifully decorated 3D character cake is now complete!

Cut the cake into slices and serve it on a festive plate. This cake is perfect for birthdays or any special celebration.

Enjoy your delicious creation with friends and family!
