BIRTHDAY CAKE WITH HOT PINK BUTTER ICING
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Butter and flour a 9-inch cake pan, a 6-inch cake pan, and a 3-inch cake pan.
- To make the cake, cream the butter and sugar on medium-high speed in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a paddle attachment until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes. On medium speed, add the eggs, 2 at a time, then the sour cream, vanilla, and lemon zest, scraping down the bowl as needed. Mix well. Sift together the flour, cornstarch, salt, and baking soda. With the mixer on low speed, slowly add the flour mixture to the butter mixture and stir just until smooth. Finish mixing by hand to be sure the batter is well mixed. Proportionately divide the batter between the 3 cake pans. Smooth the tops with a spatula, and bake as follows: the 9-inch pan for 45 minutes, the 6-inch pan for 35 to 40 minutes and the 3-inch pan for 30 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean in each cake. Cool in the pans to room temperature.
- For the frosting, cream the butter in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Add the confectioners' sugar, milk, and vanilla extract. Mix on low speed for 1 to 2 minutes, until thickened. Add the food coloring and turn the mixer off. Using a spatula, fully incorporate the color into the frosting.
- Frost each cake separately, saving some frosting for decoration. Chill the cakes before stacking.
- Place the 9-inch cake on a plate. Center the 6-inch cake on top of the 9-inch cake. Center the 3-inch cake on top of the 6-inch cake.
- For the decoration, pipe or spoon the remaining frosting around the base of each cake and around the top edge of the 3-inch cake. Finish decorating with the pieces of candy.

Steps:
- In a small saucepan, whisk together flour and milk until smooth. Cook over medium-high heat, whisking constantly, until mixture becomes thick and resembles pudding, 3 to 4 minutes. Transfer to a heat-proof bowl; stir in vanilla and salt. Press plastic wrap against surface; let cool completely.
- Beat butter with sugar on medium speed until light and fluffy, scraping down bowl as needed, about 2 minutes. Add milk mixture and continue beating until frosting is light and fluffy and resembles whipped cream, about 2 minutes more. Use immediately.
Tips:
- Use unsalted butter for the frosting so you can control the amount of salt in the recipe.
- Make sure the butter and cream cheese are at room temperature before you start mixing them together. This will help the frosting to be smooth and creamy.
- If you don't have a stand mixer, you can cream the butter and sugar together with a hand mixer or even a whisk. Just be sure to mix them until they are light and fluffy.
- Add the confectioners' sugar gradually, mixing it in until the frosting is the desired consistency. You may need to add more or less sugar depending on how sweet you want the frosting to be.
- If the frosting is too thick, you can thin it out with a little bit of milk or cream.
- If the frosting is too thin, you can thicken it up by adding more confectioners' sugar.
- For a creamier frosting, add a tablespoon of heavy cream or sour cream.
- For a more flavorful frosting, add a teaspoon of vanilla extract, almond extract, or lemon zest.
