Pencil Cake

Celebrate the new school year with this sharp-looking dessert, great for a classroom potluck or back-to-school social.

What you'll need

  • 8-inch square pan of brownies, uncut
  • 1 3/4 cups white frosting
  • Yellow and pink food coloring
  • 1/4 cup chocolate frosting
  • Sandwich bag

How to make it

  1. Pencil Cake - Step 1

    Turn the cooled pan of brownies upside down and tap on the bottom to remove the brownie square. Cut it as shown (A) and arrange the two largest pieces into a pencil shape (B).

  2. Pencil Cake - Step 2

    Cover the pointed end with white frosting. Tint 1 cup of frosting yellow, then spread it over the middle of the cake.

  3. Next, tint 1/2 cup pink for the eraser. Pipe on a chocolate frosting zigzag and pencil point using a sandwich bag with the corner snipped off.

  4. For an added effect, set the pencil on a piece of foam core decorated to look like lined paper and pipe on a chocolate frosting message.
