Instructions
Making the Cake
Preheat your oven to 350°F. Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan and set aside. In a large bowl, mix together the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. In a separate bowl, mix together the melted butter, milk, vanilla extract and egg. Slowly add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until combined. Divide the batter evenly between two bowls. To one of the bowls, add green food coloring and mix until combined. Pour the green batter into the prepared pan and bake for 25 to 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let the cake cool completely before assembling.
Assembling the Cake
Once the cake is cool, place the cake board on a flat surface. Place the green cake on the board and use a sharp knife to cut it into a triangle shape. Place the triangle piece on the board and use the remaining cake to cut out stars and other small shapes for decorations. You can also use a star-shaped cookie cutter to cut out shapes. Once the shapes have all been cut, arrange them on the cake board as desired. Finally, add the edible gold and silver decorations to the top of the cake to complete the look.
