Whether you're tired of making the same old birthday cake every year or you simply love the sight of a beautiful confection, this video is for you. The Pyramid Cake is a jaw-dropping creation of epic proportion. And not only is the finished product gorgeous and gigantic — but it’s delicious, too.
To construct the massive pyramid, baking guru Yolanda from How To Cake It starts with 32 pounds of vanilla cake batter she dyes six glorious candy colors and divides between 12 cake pans. Each of the l2 colorful layers of cake are one inch tall. Oh, and she also uses 8 pounds of chocolate ganache. YUM. She says she needs the cake to be very sturdy in order to hold the surprise in the middle — a secret chamber that houses gold chocolate coins stacked inside, just like a pyramid.
Yolanda begins to carve the cake into the perfect pyramid using a ruler and serrated knife. It's a process that requires such preciseness, it's near scientific! "It's like a colorful avalanche," she says. After crumb coating the cake with chocolate ganache, Yolanda adds gummies to the entire exterior, using the ganache like glue.
