Blue Ombre Cake Tutorial by The Hungry Housewife

April 3, 2012

This blue ombre cake by The Hungry Housewife is a colorful dessert that can be baked and decorated in your very own kitchen.  You can use any cake for this recipe so choose your favorite flavor.  To have a smooth end product, it is essential to give your cake a crumb coating.  This means to cover your cake in a layer of frosting before decorating it.  The ombre effect is achieved by dying the frosting  a number of shades of the same color.  You'll want to start with the lightest color frosting and proceed from there.  A detailed photo tutorial and step-by-step photos are available on the website.
