DIY Social Media Cakes

'How To Cook That' Created a Cake Inspired by YouTube

— June 4, 2014 — Lifestyle
'How to Cook That,' a YouTube user and blogger, created a cake that emulates the iconic YouTube play button. So if you are a social media addict, or maybe even a famous YouTuber, this 'YouTube Dessert' by the talented woman behind the account, is sure to delight you and your taste buds.

Though this masterpiece does take time, the How to Cook That user easily guides you through the steps to make sure your cake turns out just as perfectly as hers. The triangular "play button" part of the cake is made out of sponge cake and it's surrounded by a raspberry and white-chocolate mousse.

The process starts by creating the sponge cake. After it is made (or bought) you must cut it up into little triangles and string them onto a skewer. Then, you must place the skewer into a long container vertically and pour the mousse mold around it and let it set.
