Cook Time12 Minutes
Ingredients
Box cake mix of choice
Gel food coloring
Bowl & Basket White Crème Baking Chips
Rainbow Sprinkles
1/3 cup water
3/4 cup Bowl & Basket granulated sugar
3/4 cup corn syrup
3 large egg whites room temperature
1/2 tsp Bowl & Basket cream of tartar
1 tsp Bowl & Basket vanilla extract
Directions
- Make your favorite cake batter and separate it into 6 small bowls.
- Color each bowl a color of the rainbow (use gel coloring for best results).
- Pour each color into a piping bag and cut a small hole in each tin.
- On a prepared jelly roll pan, pipe the batter in lines in the order of the rainbow.
- Bake at 325 for 10-12 minutes.
- Once cooled, cut out shamrocks using a cookie cutter (be sure to make pairs; 2 shapes per cake).
- Add homemade marshmallow fluff to the bottom shamrock, then top with another to make a sandwich.
- Freeze for up to an hour to set.
- Dip into white candy melts and top with rainbow sprinkles right away.
- Add green lines to complete the cakes
For the marshmallow fluff
- Place water, sugar, and corn syrup in a medium saucepan. Stir to combine.
- Insert a candy thermometer into the pot and heat over medium-high. Do not stir from this point on.
- Wipe down your mixer bowl with lemon juice or vinegar to make sure it’s grease free.
- Add egg whites and cream of tartar in the bowl of a stand mixer.
- When the sugar syrup reaches 225°F, start whipping the egg whites to soft peaks (about 4 minutes).
- When the sugar syrup reaches 240°F remove from the heat, turn mixer to medium and very slowly and carefully pour the sugar syrup into the whites in a thin, steady stream.
- Once all of the syrup is in, set mixer to medium/high and whip.
- Continue to whip until the mixture is thick and fluffy (about 8 minutes).
- Add in vanilla and whip until the fluff has cooled completely.
- Use right away or store for up to 2 weeks at room temperature.
