About That Blogiversary Ombre Sprinkle Smash Cake <\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"Amaretto<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Cake flavors. I’m on the fence about it. I’d much rather have classic vanilla than something like strawberry or orange cream. But there’s something about the delicate sweetness of lightly almond-flavored traditional wedding cake that I love. So when I was brainstorming ways I could incorporate booze into a smash cake to celebrate my one-year blogiversary<\/a>, Amaretto almond liqueur popped into my head and I was head over heels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The boozy creation that resulted has liqueur in every single element, from the cake to the flavor syrup to the ganache to the frosting. The flavor is mellow and sweet and smooth, but while you won’t get drunk off it, you might get the tiniest buzz!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Because I was celebrating the blog<\/a>, I turned this confection into a purple ombre layer cake with fancy sprinkles and a shiny ganache topping. It was #NeverDoneWithFun purple perfection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But this recipe would be elegantly beautiful if frosted smooth with the amaretto buttercream and topped with a white chocolate-amaretto ganache drizzle and chocolate-covered almonds. (I couldn’t get the drip technique quite right, so I guess that means I’ll have to practice until it’s perfect.) It would also translate beautifully into cupcakes — perfect for a bridal shower!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
