    Hiiii friends and happy FRI-YAY! I am so excited to be sharing this super fun cake with you guys today! This Gluten Free Chocolate Candy Cutout Number Cake is something I made recently for an order and I am OBSESSED. It was so much fun to put together and, though I know you guys never believe me, it's really not that hard. I promise. Let me show you how to build your very own cutout number cake!

    I feel like I need to preface this with, this cake was requested gluten-free for preference. My customer did not have any food allergies, sensitivities, or Celiac's disease regarding gluten. So while the candies I used are GF as far as ingredients go, I am not sure if they are not contaminated somehow in the manufacturing process. I just needed to put that out there before you friends who actually suffer from Celiac's come after me for making my customer sick. I promise they loved it and nobody suffered! 🙂

    So - how do you make your very own cutout number cake? Start with your favorite cake recipe or cake mix. I used King Arthur Flour Gluten Free Chocolate Cake Mix and it was AMAZING. Making a cutout cake means there are lots of scraps, and we seriously devoured them. The best GF cake I've ever had by far! ANYWAYS. Bake up your cake. I made a 9x13 cake as the base for my "1", and two 8" round cakes to build my "3".

    After they were baked and cooled, I placed a big piece of wax paper right on top of the cake, and using a sharpie, I traced out exactly what I wanted my number to look like. This lets you fix as needed before actually cutting! Then I cut out the piece of wax paper, laid it on top of my cake and secured it with a couple toothpicks, and THEN I actually cut the cake with a knife.

    Next, I frosted the cakes using a chocolate frosting and then I did a chocolate ganache drip (just mixed semisweet chocolate chips with some heavy cream, melted in the microwave and then decorated with a squeeze bottle). And on top of THAT, I piped some vanilla frosting using a Wilton 1A tip (which is just a jumbo round tip). After that - the fun part!! I decorated my cutout number cake with mini Hershey's bars, M&Ms, Rolos, Reese's Cups, and double chocolate chip cookies. I happened to find these Home Free cookies at Sprout's and they are DELICIOUS. They also happen to be vegan and soy free!

    And - that's really it! This was so fun to make and I think much easier than the cutout cookie version I have been seeing all over the internet 🙂 I hope you guys give this chocolate candy cutout number cake a try! It's so much fun for a birthday. If you have any questions, please let me know, I am happy to help!
