Are you looking for a super fun, patriotic dessert idea? This Red, White, and Blue Mini Cakes recipe is it!
I’ve kind of been obsessed with mini layer cakes ever since I made these adorable mini ombre cakes for Valentine’s Day. And then I made them in green for St. Patricks’s Day, too!
I just love these miniature cakes. They’re basically a petite naked cake, and they’re so fun and cute. Plus, you can easily switch up the colors, making them perfect for any holiday or occasion.

Ingredients
- nonstick spray
- flour
- 1 box vanilla cake mix (plus ingredients to prepare mix: eggs, oil, etc.)
- red and blue food coloring
- 2 containers vanilla or white frosting
- red, white, and blue sprinkles

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Spray 3 9-inch cake pans with nonstick spray, then coat lightly with flour.
- Prepare cake mix according to package directions. (Tip: for a white cake, use egg whites, not whole eggs.)
- Measure batter, then divided evenly into three bowls.
- Color batter in one bowl red, and another bowl blue, using food coloring.
- Transfer batter to prepared cake pans. Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 10 to 12 minutes.
- Let cake cool slightly, then remove cake from pans and transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before frosting.
- Use a 2.5-inch circle cutter to cut each layer into 7 circles. (Tip: If your cake layers have a dome after baking, slice off the tops with a serrated knife before cutting out the circles.)
- Cover a blue cake circle generously with frosting, then top with a white circle, and add more frosting. Finish with a red colored layer, topping with more frosting.
- Use the flat side of a knife to remove excess frosting from the sides of the cake.
- Repeat process with remaining cake, then top cakes with red, white, and blue sprinkles.
- Serve cakes immediately or store in a cool place. Enjoy!
