Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and spray the 3 cake pans with pam baking spray.
  2. Combine all cake ingredients into a standing mixer or large mixing bowl and beat until combined.
  3. Divide the batter between the 3 pans and bake in the oven for 28-32 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Allow to cool completely before moving onto the cake board,
  4. Using a cake leveler, remove the dome from the cakes to make even.
  5. Using a standing mixer, beat together the butter, powdered sugar, vanilla, and heavy whipping cream until combined, smooth and stiff with peaks.
  6. Mix in a few drops of sky blue food coloring and mix until combined.

Building The Cake

  1. Using 1 cake layer on the cake board, scoop 1 C of blue frosting onto the top of the cake and spread evenly.
  2. Place the second layer of cake on top of the first layer of frosting. Scoop 1 C of blue frosting onto the second layer of cake and spread evenly.
  3. Place the last layer of cake on top. Frost entire cake with the remaining blue frosting.
  4. Scoop 1 C of frosting onto the center of the top of the cake. Lightly spread into a smooth thick disk to create a mound for the nest.
  5. Gently place the toasted coconut onto the top and around the side of the mount.

Speckled Look

  1. Stir together about ¼ tsp of brown food coloring and 2 drops of water into a bowl. Dip the tip of the brush into the mixture. Hold the brush about 4-6 inches away from the cake and fling the brush to make a splattered effect. Gently place a few of the speckled malted eggs onto the top center of the nest!
