• Prepare the yellow cake batter according to package instructions and pour into greased pan.
• Bake until a toothpick comes out clean, about 30 minutes. Cool to room temperature.

GALAXY MIRROR GLAZED 'BOX' CAKE RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Prepare the cakes according to the package, or use your favorite cake recipe.
• To make the buttercream, mix the butter, vanilla, milk, and powdered sugar in a bowl with a hand mixer.
• Once the cakes are baked and cooled, place one cake on a turntable. If you don't have one, you can use a plate. Slice the top off the cakes to create a flat surface.
• Place a large dollop of the buttercream on the cake and spread to create an even middle layer of frosting.
• Place the second cake over the layer of buttercream.
• Frost the entire cake to create the crumb layer, creating a smooth surface.
• Place the cake in the freezer to keep cold.
• For the glaze, boil the water, sugar, and condensed milk in a pot for 1 minute, then remove from heat.
• Bloom the gelatin in 8 cups (2 liters) of cold water for 5 minutes, then wring the gelatin sheets of excess water and mix into the sugar mixture.
• Pour the sugar mixture over the chocolate, letting it sit for 2-3 minutes to allow the chocolate to soften.
• Using an immersion blender, carefully blend the chocolate and the liquid, making sure that you are not blending in air bubbles by lifting up the blender too high.
• Pour the glaze through a sieve into a large bowl to remove any excess bubbles.
• Separate the glaze into 5 different bowls (one medium-sized bowl and four smaller bowls).
• Color the biggest bowl of glaze with black and navy blue food coloring, stir the coloring with the glaze until the color is distributed evenly.
• In the next bowl, add the navy blue food coloring and stir.
• In the next bowl, add the lighter blue food coloring and stir.
• In the next bowl, add the purple food coloring and stir.
• In the next bowl, add the pink food coloring and stir.
• When you are ready to use the glaze, make sure each one is around 90-96°F (32-35°C). Microwave if necessary. Pour the colored glazes back into the biggest bowl of black and blue glaze. Swirl them gently with a spoon.
• Place the cake on a stand over a sheet tray to catch any excess glaze. Carefully pour the glaze over the cake.
• Dip a brush into the white food coloring and fling it onto the cake to create stars.
• Enjoy!

GALAXY SAMOAS CAKE POPS

Steps:

• For the cake pops: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Pulse the cookies in a food processor until fine crumbs form. Combine the cookie crumbs, crumbled cake and frosting in a medium bowl. Work the frosting into the crumbs until it forms a thick paste and can be easily rolled into balls without crumbling apart.
• Use a 2-tablespoon cookie scoop to form 8 balls. Roll the balls with your hands to refine and round out their shape and place the balls on the prepared baking sheet. Refrigerate until firm, 20 to 30 minutes.
• Combine the candy melts and coconut oil in in a small deep microwave safe bowl. Microwave on 50 percent power in 30-second intervals, stirring between each interval, until smooth and fully melted.
• Dip the tip of a lollipop stick about 1/2 inch into the melted candy melts, then insert it about halfway into a cake ball. Repeat with the remaining lollipop sticks and cake balls.
• Dip a cake ball into the candy melts and shake gently to allow any excess to drip back into the bowl. Immediately sprinkle the ball with star sprinkles. Stand the cake pop up in a Styrofoam block and allow the coating to set until firm to the touch, about 10 minutes. Repeat with the remaining cake pops.
• Using a small fan paintbrush, dust the pops with streaks of petal dust. Dust with the gold luster dust. Next, hold the pops over the parchment-lined baking sheet and spray them with the silver edible spray. Stand the pops up in the Styrofoam to set completely.

MINI SAMOA® BUNDT® CAKES

• Bake in the preheated oven until cakes spring back when touched, 14 to 17 minutes.
• Pour caramel sauce into a small microwave-safe bowl. Warm in the microwave until smooth, 1 to 2 minutes. Dip the top of each cake in the sauce and sprinkle with toasted coconut.
