Vanilla cakes with vanilla frosting and pink balls

I made some bonus midweek vanilla cakes for my friend Carrie's birthday!!

I actually made a little change to my recipe after reading this month's Sainsbury's magazine. So I made the recipe as usual then ten minutes after taking them out of the oven I pricked the cakes and brushed some vanilla syrup over them. This helped to make them extra vanilla-y and super moist.

I frosted them with canned frosting and decorated with pink sugar balls to make them all matching. Of course I used pink cases to make them uber-cute.

As we went out to Las Iguanas for dinner the waiter brought them out with pink candles after our meal and Carrie loved them. The waiter also commented that everyone in the kitchen was impressed too!
