My baby boy is turning sixteen. Boy, where did time go? It seems like just yesterday he was crawling and drooling and now he is ready for his Driver’s Permit and getting a car. Of course we have to celebrate with cake and candles, but boy is this time of the year hectic and time is really stretched out. When I was doing my food shopping this week at ShopRite, they had these NEW Pillsbury^TM Filled Pastry Bags in three delicious flavors: vanilla, cream cheese and chocolate fudge and I knew they would be perfect for these small cakes.

I love making individual cakes or cupcakes when we are having people over because I think there is something special about serving individual cakes with beautiful frosting to each and every person. These awesome pre-filled pastry bags make it so easy to decorate these small bundt cakes with the built-in star tip. Create three beautiful designs: stars, rosettes and waves easily and without the mess. How beautiful did they turn out?

Mini Mocha Almond Bundt Cakes

Ingredients

1 pkg vanilla cake mix

1 cup cold strong brewed coffee

3 eggs

½ cup oil

2 teaspoon almond extract

¼ unsweetened cocoa powder

Pillsbury^TM Filled Pastry Bags, chocolate fudge

Directions

For cakes-

Preheat oven to 350 and spray each mini bundt cake pan with non-stick spray.

In a large bowl, combine all ingredients except the frosting and combine for 50-100 strokes.

Pour batter into each cake well.

Bake for 30 minutes.

Cool completely.

To frost-

Pushing the frosting towards the star tip and twist the top of the pastry bag.

Remove the plastic from the star tip by ripping at the perforation.

Squeeze from the top of the pastry bag to frost- I like make continuing circles so there is a good amount of frosting for each cake.

Top with sprinkles if desired.

These pastry bags are so easy and fun to use that our whole family loved using them. They definitely come in handy when you have cookies, cupcakes and cakes to decorate for class snacks, bake sales and birthdays. I love how quickly and beautifully these pastry bags work, perfect to keep on hand in your pantry.

We loved using the chocolate fudge pastry bag for our mocha almond bundt cakes and we can’t wait to try out the vanilla and cream cheese choices as well.
