Someday I will master the art of making a glow-in-the-dark cake. With a lack of success in making a glowing cake at Justin Dressler's birthday last year, I didn't try again. Instead, I ignored the party theme.
At first, I was worried about the cake I was planning, but Justin is an easy-going guy. If anyone would be okay with this cake, it would be him. And in fact, he was more than okay with it!
I went to Thrifty Shopper and found two Pyrex bowls for a steal of $2 each! This was my first time baking a cake in Pyrex. It took a VERY long time to bake. I didn't know how much batter I would need, so made enough for two. Turns out one was just under what I needed, so I made mini cupcakes!
This cake was really simple to make after I figured out the Pyrex situation. The middle of the cakes were still a little gooey, so I scooped it out and replaced it with a creamy icing. Gross, but delicious. It was especially good because the cake was so thick, so the extra icing balanced that out.
I got the idea for nipples from
this site. I used two of those large dot-like candies. I'm not sure what they're called. Sometimes they're spiced...

Wait a second, there was cream filling? That's awesome. You're a champion.
