Layered Citrus Mini Cakes

If I were a cupcake in 2014, I’d be nervous. Mini cakes, it seems, are everywhere and they’re stealing cupcakes’ thunder.

And with good reason: mini cakes make it possible to have multiple layers (i.e. flavors), you can decorate them like miniature versions of your favorite layer cakes and they’re super fun to make. (Not just because you can eat all of the scraps while you’re decorating!)

I really can’t imagine a better way to spend an afternoon than by making cute little cakes, and with spring here, we’re bound to have a couple of rained-in weekends. So embrace the season in all of its citrus glory, and spend an afternoon stacking some mini cakes!
