Coming straight from the United States, the sheet cake is taking over the layer cake at birthday parties, and for good reason: the same wow effect, with half the work. The concept? A large, soft rectangular cake, fully decorated on top with a piping bag: rosettes, waves, peaks, and sprinkles.
No tier cutting, no vertical smoothing, no crumb coat: it's the perfect format to start cake decorating or to delight a large group without spending all day on it. We give you the complete recipe, from vanilla cake to Swiss meringue buttercream, with the easiest piping designs to master.
