    Directions

    1. Prepare Batter via Reverse Creaming: Preheat oven to 325 °F. Spray three 8‑inch cake pans. In a mixer, combine dry ingredients, then mix in butter until pea-sized.

    2. Add Wet Mix: Whisk milk, egg whites, bubblegum flavoring, sour cream, and vanilla. Add slowly to dry blend until just combined—don’t overmix.

    3. Color & Bake: Divide batter; tint portions with pink gel coloring as desired. Bake layers until set, then cool completely.

    4. Bake Filling & Frosting: Prepare pastry cream. Beat butter and shortening, blend in bubblegum flavor and cream, then add powdered sugar until smooth.

    5. Assemble Cake: Layer cake with pastry cream between tiers. Crumb coat, chill, then apply striped frosting. Add white chocolate drip along edges.

    6. Decorate: Top with bubblegum balls and sprinkles for a magical finish.
