I really wanted to recreate this cake with a recipe that an average person would actually make (i.e. boxed cake mix, pre-made frosting) so after testing a few times, I came up with the perfect recipe.

I am very happy with how the cake and shoot turned out. I planned, filmed and produced this video by my self:
