Storage Information
A frosted cake can last up to a week when stored in the refrigerator. The frosting helps to lock in the moisture of the cake, keeping it fresh while you wait to serve. If you cut the cake first and then want to store it, put the pieces in an airtight container or cover the cut sections with any leftover frosting you may have. The cake can be stored like this for a week in the refrigerator.
Tips for Making a Sprinkle Cake Roll
- You can make this buttercream the day before you assemble your cake roll and refrigerate it overnight. Then, when you’re ready to start decorating your cake, take it out and let it come back up to room temperature. You may need to mix it again for a few minutes before applying.
- Don’t take your cake roll out of the freezer until you are ready to start putting on the frosting. A cold cake is easier to decorate as it is less delicate. A room temperature cake is tender and fragile which means it is more likely to fall apart.
- When you’re ready to apply the sprinkles, get them on as quickly as possible. If the icing dries before you are finished coating the cake, the sprinkles will not stick as well.

Ingredients
- Sprinkle Cake Roll:
1 Dutch Apron® Bakery Lemon Crème Cake Roll
Colored Sprinkles
- White Buttercream Frosting:
2 c. unsalted butter, room temperature
7 c. powdered sugar, sifted
2 tbsp. heavy cream
1 tsp. salt
1 tbsp. vanilla extract
Directions
- Prepare the Buttercream Frosting
- In a stand mixer, beat butter until smooth and light in color, about 2 minutes.
- Turn mixer to low and slowly add powdered sugar. Once fully incorporated, add heavy cream, salt, and vanilla extract.
- Mix ingredients until well combined then scrape down the sides of the bowl.
- Beat an additional 1-2 minutes until the frosting is smooth and fluffy.
- Decorate the Cake Roll
- Remove your cake roll from its packaging. Place the cake roll vertically on a cake board or serving platter, so it is standing on one end.
- Using an offset spatula, cover the sides in a thin layer of buttercream frosting, leave the swirl at both ends exposed.
- Take a handful of sprinkles and, starting from the bottom of the cake roll, pull the sprinkles upwards onto the frosting. Don’t apply too much pressure when you do this. Just let the sprinkles fall out of your hand so they stick to the cake.
- Carefully, move the cake roll to lay horizontally on your cake board or serving platter.
- Cover any exposed icing with the remaining sprinkles.
