{neapolitan cake + mini bunting}

 

For a friend's birthday this past weekend, I decided to make a Neapolitan layered cake. While I ended up just using boxed cake mix, you can find the actual recipe that inspired me here. I definitely recommend making it into a 5 layer cake as the recipe shows rather than 3 as I did. With the additional smaller layers, you are able to get all the flavors in one forkful-which is the whole point of the cake!

I also made some mini gold bunting to make the cake a little more festive. I used some appetizer picks, small gold origami paper and baker's twine. I simply folded the origami paper in half and cut out the triangle shapes then glued them around a few pieces of red/white baker's twine.
