Camouflage “Camo” Cake

I’ve had many different requests for types and flavors of cakes/cupcakes over the past few years but last week I made my first “Camo Cake”.  I guess living in the middle of nowhere Minnesota, I should have predicted this request would be coming.  I mean, there were even camouflauge tuxedos at the prom this year!

The process was quite simple.  I used chocolate cake as my deep brown then colored white cake to be off white, light green and dark green.  I think having four colors turned out perfectly.  There are many different styles of camouflage colors out there so have fun.  You can even do a girl camo using pinks instead of greens!

I used my ice cream scoop to blob the different colors along the bottom of the pan, then did a second layer of blobs on top that were different than the color blob beneath it.  The bit of mixing of colors you see in the above picture came from using the same ice cream scoop and not cleaning it off as I switched colors.  You could also swirl the colors a bit, but don’t go overboard or you will end up with a very muddy looking design once you cut into it.

This was what the top of the cake looked like once it was baked.  Remember that there is two layers of these colors so when you cut through, you get a more marbled effect from the cross section.

My graduate based his cake on the college he will be attending in the fall, North Dakota State University.  I love that the university colors are the same as the John Deere company 🙂  I guess it could have been blasphemous to use anything but camo on the inside.
