VEGAN TIE DYE CAKE (POPCORN FROSTING)



I made this for a special birthday this month and it is epic in every way you can imagine. It's bright, sweet, decadent, pillow-soft and crunchy all at once. It's a tie dye cake inspired by this YouTube video and the popcorn frosting was a last minute addition to take the cake to the next level.

I created a YouTube instructional video if you fancy giving it a try.

You'll need 2 equal-sized cake tins. Leave a comment below if you have any questions and be sure to follow my page on Facebook for more up-to-date stuff!
