This pretty marbled cake is the perfect Frozen birthday cake! Inspired by Queen Elsa, this blue and white marble cake is super easy to make!
Easy Frozen Birthday Cake
We made this Frozen birthday cake for our oldest daughter’s 7th birthday — she’s been a HUGE fan of the movie and Queen Elsa since she first saw it!
Since it was Father’s Day weekend too, I wanted to make the preparations as easy as possible for the hubby. He usually does all of the cooking and baking, but I thought that I would try my hand at making a special (inspired by the movie of course) Frozen birthday cake for our special girl.
I’m sure you’ve seen pictures floating around the internet of elaborate Frozen cakes made to look like a doll’s skirt (with the actual doll sticking out of the top!)
They’re absolutely stunning — but way beyond my skill level.
So I decided to use box cake mix and create a marbled surprise inside, and coat the outside with blue frosting and M&Ms. It’s a much more manageable task, but it would still a princess-worthy cake!

I picked out all of the blue M&Ms from two baking-sized bags (I served the extras in a bowl at the party, so they definitely didn’t go to waste!) I pressed the blue M&Ms and white chocolate chips into the sides of the cake like so:
I used blue accent icing to decorate the top and write Happy Birthday. The result was a Frozen birthday cake fit for a princess!
