Instructions

Chill the poundcake in the refrigerator for 1 hour or the freezer for 20-30 minutes. You will need to do this so that it will be firm enough to be sliced thinly without breaking.

Ingredients you will need

Pound Cake

While the cake chills, prepare the frosting. In a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream the butter until fluffy; add the confectioners' sugar little by little until a creamy, spreadable consistency has been reached. You want this to be slightly less stiff than if you were frosting the outside of a cake, because you will be spreading it on a fairly delicate surface.

Equipment you will use

Stand Mixer

Adding a couple of drops of red food coloring so you have pink frosting is not necessary, but I highly recommend it.

Ingredients you will need

Red Food Color

Frosting

Remove the poundcake from its chilling place and slice into 1/2-inch thick slices. You should get about 18 slices from one loaf cake.

Ingredients you will need

Pound Cake

Place two slices side by side, aligned as mirror images so that when you stack them after adding the fillings, the slices will match direction.

Spread a thin layer (about 1 teaspoon) frosting on each slice.

Ingredients you will need

Frosting

Spread

Sprinkle a generous amount of sprinkles on one of the slices.

Ingredients you will need

Sprinkles

Place the un-sprinkled side on top of the slice with sprinkles to form a sandwich.

Ingredients you will need

Sprinkles

Repeat with the remaining slices until you have made 9 full-sized cakewiches. If desired, slice each sandwich in half for daintier, tea sandwich-sized portions.
