How to Make the Recipe

Now, let’s get to the fun part—baking and decorating our Schoolhouse Cake! Follow these simple steps:

1. Bake your cake in the Wilton house pan. Make sure to follow the instructions on the cake mix box or your favorite recipe for a moist and fluffy cake.
2. Once the cake has cooled, it’s time to decorate! Use your BC to cover the entire cake. This is where you can get creative with colors and designs.
3. The top of the cake, where the bell is, is actually made from RKT covered in more BC. This adds a fun texture and makes it look just like a real schoolhouse!
4. For the bricks, use a basketweave tip (smooth side) to create a lovely brick pattern on the sides of the cake. This detail really brings the schoolhouse to life!

Pro Tips for Making the Recipe

Here are some of my favorite tips to ensure your Schoolhouse Cake turns out perfectly:

• Make sure your cake is completely cool before decorating to prevent the icing from melting.
• Use a spatula to smooth out the BC for a polished look.
• Experiment with different colors of icing to match your school colors or theme.
• If you’re short on time, consider using store-bought BC to speed up the decorating process.
• Don’t be afraid to let the kids help! They’ll love getting their hands messy and creating their own designs.

How to Serve

This Schoolhouse Cake is perfect for serving at birthday parties, school events, or even just a fun family gathering. Pair it with some School House Cookies for a delightful dessert table! You can also serve it alongside some easy pasta recipes for a complete meal. Think of it as a fun way to celebrate the end of summer and the start of a new school year!

Make Ahead and Storage

If you want to prepare ahead of time, you can bake the cake a day in advance. Just wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and store it in the refrigerator. The BC can also be made ahead of time and stored in an airtight container. When you’re ready to decorate, simply re-whip the BC to get it fluffy again.

To store any leftover cake, keep it in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days. If you want to keep it longer, you can freeze it for up to a month. Just make sure to wrap it well to prevent freezer burn!

So there you have it! A delightful Schoolhouse Cake that’s sure to impress. Whether you’re looking for Back To School Cake ideas or just want to create a fun dessert for your family, this recipe is a winner. I hope you enjoy making it as much as I do. Happy baking!
