🎉 What IS a piñata cake?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

What’s the only thing better than a tall chocolate cake with rich chocolate buttercream? A tall chocolate cake, with rich chocolate buttercream, packed full of CANDY<\/strong> that comes pouring out when you cut into it! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yep, piñata cakes are inspired by piñatas–you know, those cardboard and tissue paper characters that are filled with goodies and then attacked by sugar-crazed, bat-wielding children at birthday parties<\/a>. But instead of whacking a cardboard princess to get at stale lollipops and toys, you just cut a slice from an innocent-looking cake, and candy<\/a> pours out instead!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Piñata cakes are the best of both worlds – you get a delicious slice of cake, served with a side of candy! Kids love them, of course, but they’re not just for kids. The spectacle of the candy pouring out turns any <\/em>gathering from a ho-hum party into a par-tay!<\/em> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

🍬 The ultimate chocolate cake with candy inside!<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

It was important to me that this piñata cake not only look<\/em> amazing, but taste<\/em> amazing too. That’s why it’s made with eight (eight!!!) layers of tender homemade chocolate cake<\/a>, an ultra-dark and rich black chocolate buttercream, vanilla buttercream for those bright neon colors, and–of course–glimmering candy-coated chocolate inside. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
