Last weekend I made a mini version of the Martha Stewart Coconut Layer Cake. I was going to make cupcakes but then I found small 4″ cake pans just calling to me when I was looking for a big 8-cup Pyrex measuring cup (to microwave oatmeal in, works well if left uncovered). I had enough batter to make some mini cakes using some strange hybrid Wilton mini muffin/tartlet shaped pans I bought in a moment of weakness some time ago. It turned out well considering I halved the recipe, didn’t use pastry flour or ultrafine sugar, and used the cursed Wilton pans. I considered making it blue but decided against it when I discovered I didn’t actually have any blue food coloring in the house.
Check out how it looked like a Big Mac when being assembled!
