Nothing says “We’re better than the rest of your friends” more than a three layer personalized birthday cake.
Excessive? Yes. But go hard or go home.
CAKE
So for the actual baking part, you need two boxes of whatever cake mix you like best, plus however much oil/eggs/water go into that. Go ahead and mix up the batter following the directions on the box.
Now, seeing as how you’re not a professional baker and don’t own stacking cake pans, you’re going to have to improvise. The best way we’ve found is to use 3 different size pots, which you probably do have if your parents set you up right. Or... check with your neighbors. If you’re lucky, the handles won’t melt in the oven. Spray your three pots liberally with Pam and then divide your batter between them. Don’t separate it into thirds, just try to get the levels the same in every pot.
For several reasons, including the fact that you’re using a pot and each layer is a different size, they’re not going to bake evenly. Start at about 20 minutes in a 350 degree preheated oven, and then check all the layers using a toothpick inserted into the middle (toothpick should come out clean if the cake is done). The smallest one will cook pretty quickly, the largest one might take up to an hour. Just keep checking ever 10 min or so. Remove the layers as they finish baking and let them cool completely before removing the cake.
Now, you can either ice it with whatever you’ve got around, like the one below with store bought vanilla frosting, or you can really go crazy.
