Slice the tops and bottoms off the cakes to smooth the surface and remove any excess browning. Use a 4 inch round cookie cutter to cut the center out of one of the cakes. We’ll use the smaller circle for the base cake, but save the cake scraps for later in this recipe.
Place one of the larger cakes onto your work surface and cover it in a generous coating of flesh buttercream. Place it in the fridge for chill for 20 minutes. Place the smaller cake on top and coat in a thin layer of pink buttercream. Place the remaining large cake on top and coat in a thin layer of flesh buttercream. Stick 3 bubble tea straws into the center of the cake. Trim them so that they’re flush with the top of the cake. Place the cake in the fridge to chill for 20 minutes. Then carefully cover the top layer in a generous coating of flesh buttercream.
Use a food-safe paintbrush and red food coloring to paint vertical stripes onto the inside of a piping bag. Spoon the pink buttercream into the bag and snip a hole at the end to create a large, round piping tip. Pipe the brain into the middle space of the cake.
Place some of the cake scraps and a couple dollops of buttercream into a bowl and mix with an electric mixer. The electric mixer breaks apart cake so well! Shape the cake mixture into a dome and place on the top of the cake. Pipe on a brain pattern with the remaining pink buttercream. Start with 2 long stripes down the center, then squiggles on each side of the brain.
Use the same food-safe paintbrush to dap red food coloring directly onto the cake. This will look like cuts and bruises.
And finally, the ganache! Place the white chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave for 30 second intervals, until fully melted. Add some red food coloring and mix well. Place the ganache into a piping bag or a syringe with a medium-size piping tip. Pipe blood all over the cake! Then serve and enjoy your edible brains!
