Red, White, and Blue Mini Cakes are adorable, layered desserts made with vibrant colored cake layers and creamy frosting, perfect for patriotic celebrations like the 4th of July and Memorial Day.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 box white cake mix, plus ingredients listed on box
  • Red and blue food coloring
  • 1 cup butter, softened
  • 3–4 cups powdered sugar
  • 2–3 tablespoons heavy cream or milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt
  • Optional: patriotic sprinkles for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare the white cake mix according to package instructions.
  2. Divide the batter evenly into three bowls. Tint one bowl red, one blue, and leave one white.
  3. Pour each batter into a separate greased and floured 8-inch round cake pan (or bake in batches if needed).
  4. Bake for 15–18 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let cool completely.
  5. Using a round cookie cutter or biscuit cutter, cut out small cake rounds from each color layer.
  6. Make the frosting by beating softened butter until creamy. Add powdered sugar gradually, then vanilla, salt, and cream until smooth and fluffy.
  7. To assemble, layer one red, one white, and one blue cake circle with frosting between each layer.
  8. Frost the tops and sides if desired, or leave sides exposed for a “naked cake” look. Garnish with sprinkles.
  9. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving to help set the frosting.

Notes

  • Use gel food coloring for more vibrant red and blue layers.
  • Store mini cakes in the fridge and bring to room temperature before serving.
  • You can bake the cakes in a sheet pan for easier cutting and layering.
