'B' is for Bubblegum, 'C' is for Cake!!!

Hey Y'all!!!  I'm starting this post with a southern flair since this cake idea came from the lovely and talented Paula Deen.  When I saw the bubblegum cake in her magazine a few years ago, I knew I had to make it for my daughter.  I mean, what little girl wouldn't just love a neon pink cake?

The recipe called for some bubblegum flavored ice cream, chocolate cake, pink food coloring, and a whole lot of bubblegum.  For the ice cream, I make a simple vanilla ice cream and added some bubblegum flavoring and pink food coloring.  The summer I made this cake we stopped at a Amish country store and found the bubblegum in all different colors and sizes.

 After the cakes were baked,  I put them in the freezer.  Then the ice cream was layered in between the cakes.  The butter cream frosting went on fairly easy and then the bubblegum was added in a random order.
Yum! Chocolate Cake and Bubblegum Ice Cream
I never thought that chocolate would go well with bubble gum, but it was really good.  But then again what doesn't go well with chocolate.  Thanks again, Paula Deen,  this cake was a hit!
