Sixth Step: Mix together the eggs using a hand mixer until stiff peaks begin forming then fold into cake batter. 

Seventh Step: Drop in the food coloring and stir until combined. 

Eighth Step: Bake the cakes in the oven for 23-26 minutes or until you can remove a toothpick and it comes out clean. 

Ninth Step: Allow the cakes time to cool off before removing from the baking pans. 

Tenth Step: Put the cakes onto a cutting board and using a cake slicer to remove the dome shapes from the top of the cakes. 

Eleventh Step: Put the first layer of cake onto the cake board. 

Frosting directions:

First Step: Beat together the frosting ingredients in a bowl with your stand mixer. Mix together for 5-7 minutes or until stiff peaks form. 

Second Step: Take one cup of the frosting and put it on the first layer of the cake. Spread it out evenly with an angled spatula. 

Third Step: Set the second layer of cake on top of the first layer and add another cup of frosting. Smooth it out, so it’s even.

Fourth Step: Add the third layer and cover the entire cake with 2 cups of frosting.

Sixth Step: Add the remaining frosting to a large piping bag and add the star tip. 

Seventh Step: Pipe some lines of blue along the entire cake using the piping bag and smooth it out evenly, so the colors are blended. 

Chocolate Ganache Directions

Second Step: Add the hot cream over a bowl of chocolate chips and let sit for 1 minute then use a whisk to stir it smooth. 

Third Step: Add the ganache to a squeeze bottle and drizzle all over the edge of the cake. 

Fourth Step: Using the piping bag with blue frosting and the star tip, add dollops of frosting all around the outside of the cake. 

Fifth Step: Put the cake in the fridge overnight and cut it into slices. Enjoy!
