Inside Out Cake
An Inside Out cake, inspired by the Disney Pixar movie that is easy to make and has all the characters on the outside and a surprise on the inside too. Who was your favourite character in the movie? I liked Joy’s fun-loving nature and that she wanted to make every memory good. Impossible maybe, but a great goal nevertheless.
For the Inside Out Cake you will need
1 1/2 quantities of my perfect vanilla sponge cake recipe (video and recipe are here).
Food colouring (red, blue, orange, green, pink)
2 quantities of buttercream in your choice of flavour, coloured purple.
440g (15.52 ounces) gum balls
1 roll grape bubble gum tape
white luster dust
inside out figurines
70g (2.47 ounces) white fondant
2 cake pop sticks
edible food markers and sprinkles/small edible decorations for the console
Make the half batch of the sponge cake recipe first – this will give you one round 8″ cake. Once it is baked and cooled, crumble that up using your hands or a food processor.
Then make the other 1 quantity of the sponge cake recipe. Grab four bowls and put 1 cup of cake crumbs into each one. Then add half a cup of the cake batter and stir it through until you get a thick paste that can hold it’s own shape.
Add colour to each bowl. Blue for sadness, green for disgust, orange or yellow for joy and red for anger.
Then take the remaining cake batter and fold through some pink and blue food colour to make purple.
Add a scoop of the purple batter to the bottom of three lined 20cm (7.87 inches) or 8″ cake tins. Put the coloured mixture into a piping bag fitted with a large round piping tip and pipe circles into the cake. See the video for demonstration.
Add the rest of the purple cake batter over the top. Bake in the oven until they are cooked. Then let them cool and level off the tops.
Layer and cover the cake using purple buttercream.
Place the gumballs into a bag with some white luster, shake and rub the bag until all the gumballs have a fine coat of luster dust so they shimmer like the memories in the movie.
Decorate the sides of the cake using the gumballs and bubble gum tape. Then make the console as demonstrated in the video. Add the console and the characters to the cake. Then take a photo with the birthday boy or girl before the party guests arrive.

Miley, go to the app store. Type angry birds. These angry birds games will pop up.
Hello Ann,
I really enjoy your site. Your videos are great. Have you published any baking books? If so I would like
to purchase them.
Hi Marlena, Ann hasn’t got a book out at the moment, but we will let you know if she releases a book in the future.
Hi Ann,
I’ve tried your cakes and they were wonderful! Can you please make a none themed cake or cupcake recipe? I’m not such a person that likes themed cakes as much.
Thanks!
Hi cookie. If you look through ann has done some non-themed cakes and has a cake recipe aswell. I hope that helped.
Thanks, Will
Hi Cookie, Ann has heaps of these. MY favorities are her tall and fluffy sponge cake and carrot cake. You can search for cake options via the search function on the top of the blog page.
Great tutorial, Ann! My favourite character was Anger, I think he was pretty funny and had a temper just like mine! Can’t wait for the bonus vid, thanks again! Wednesday is my back-to-school day so your video will cheer me up a bit 🙂
Oh, and I think two new feelings should be Sympathy and Excitement!
Love the recipe 1. what is the reason for adding gelatine 2. can I change this recipe to chocolate cake
Hi Yvonne, the gelatine stabilizes the cake and helps create the beautiful texture.
Thanks Ann, lovely cake. Can I ask where you got the toppers from?
Hi Jen, Ann bought them online. She thinks she got them through Amazon and they were actually toys rather than cake toppers.
Hey, Ann i am so amazed by the beauty of the cakes you make, could you please do a daffy duck cake please!!! Thanks
Hi Ann this is an amazing cake. Quick question , can we replace your sponge recipe for cake mix. If so how many packets would you need
Hi Will, you could but it would be no where near as nice. It is hard to estimate the number of packets you would need as each brand varies, but you would likely need at least one per cake layer.
Hi Ann!!!!!! I AM SUCH A BIG FAN OF YOU!!! 😀 I really wish you could do a meet n greet here, in Santa Clara!!!! Thank you so much for inspiring me!!!!! THX!!!! PS I AM A GIRL 😛
Thanks Shawn, Ann loves to get feedback from subscribers!
Can you make something from “home”anime
Yeah a home cake would be great
Hi ann,
your videos are so amazing, thank you so much for all the wonderful cake recipes.
Could you cover the cake with fondant or marzipan before the gumballs
Hi Nourat, Yes you could. Fondant would probably be best, just be aware that the weight of the fondant and gumballs might be too much and cause the cake to become unstable. You may need some supports.
Sorry to hear about your car and hope you are all well. Amazing cake once again. Looking forward to the bonus on wed. Maybe. Thank you.
This cake looks SOOOOOOOOO super good!!!!! Like all of your cakes and bakes, it looks ( and probably tastes) AMAZING!!!!
Nice cake & I looks yummy. But then why don’t you brush your cakes with a syrup before he frosting?
Hi Lerato, you can do that too, I do that with some cakes, it just depends how moist it is and when it will be eaten. If it is being eaten the same day it’s made it shouldn’t need it.
Very good
thanks Tulay
WOW!!! That was sooooo cool! I love how you have the memories on the outside and in the inside of the cake!! <3 Thanks Ann for this video! I'm looking forward to the bonus video!!
thanks ilovecake – it should be up by Wednesday 😀
YAY!! 🙂
