Let's Get Baking: Your Brain Cake Tutorial

This tutorial is designed to be beginner-friendly, so don't worry if you're not a professional baker. We'll break it down into simple steps.

What You'll Need:

Cake Mix: Your favorite cake mix (or a homemade recipe). Two boxes are recommended for a good-sized brain.
Frosting: Your preferred frosting (vanilla or cream cheese works well).
