Instructions

  • Step 1: Prepare the Cake Batter

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease two 9-inch round cake pans.

In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.

In a separate bowl, cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract.

Gradually mix in the dry ingredients, alternating with the milk, until the batter is smooth.

  • Step 2: Bake the Cake

Divide the batter evenly between the two pans.

Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Let the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

  • Step 3: Make the Frosting

Beat the softened butter until creamy.

Gradually add the powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and heavy cream until the frosting is smooth and spreadable.

Divide the frosting into three portions and tint them blue, white, and black using gel food coloring.

  • Step 4: Assemble and Decorate

Place one cake layer on a serving plate and spread a layer of blue frosting on top.

Add the second cake layer and cover the entire cake with a thin crumb coat of blue frosting. Chill for 15 minutes.

Use fondant to create Bluey’s face, ears, and other details. Attach them to the cake using a small amount of frosting.

Pipe additional details with white and black frosting to complete Bluey’s features.
