A Stacked Cake for St. Patrick’s Day

Isn’t he sweet? I got it in my head that I should make something St. Patrick’s Day themed to inspire you this week, so yesterday I made this little cake. And here’s how I did it!

I was inspired by Jordan’s tin can birthday cakes. I baked green cake  batter and orange cake batter in two tin cans and then sliced them apart. I’ll share a little more about that tomorrow.

I wouldn’t typically use whipped cream as icing, but since the cake is quite sweet, I couldn’t bring myself to use sugary icing. This actually turned out to be the perfect balance of sweetness.

I’ll be back tomorrow with a few more details and tips on baking cakes in tin cans. But in the meantime, did you know Irish people aren’t too fond of Americans calling it St. Patty’s Day? To them, it’s St. Paddy’s Day or even Patrick’s Day. Calling it Patty’s Day is practically a crime.  Well, maybe not a crime, but they do groan a little when they hear those t’s!
