For you guys looking to do cakes professionally, please know now that this is a very hard thing to balance. You can't make a 3-D carved helmet cake to feed 10 people and you have to learn to tell people the facts. We don't have a shrink ray (maybe next Christmas)! I used 5 8" round cake layers for this cake. The blue is all buttercream as are the bubbles. The spilled beer is piping gel with a little copper color.
The logo was an edible image that I found, transferred into PowerPoint and enlarged it to the size I needed. The birthday letters, plaque the image is mounted on and lid are all Fondarific. Honestly, this was a pretty easy cake and I don't say that much, so go get to making one!
Have a great weekend!
This cake is amazing. Did you air brush the buttercream or you made it blue? Great job
ReplyDeleteVery cool! I would love a Diet Pepsi one!! So creative!
ReplyDelete@Kathia - I just colored the icing blue to begin with on this cake.
ReplyDelete@Tiffanee - Yeah, me too... I'm not much of a beer drinker!
This is fantastic. I love, love the buttercream. It's so smooth and the colour is .. . .so blue. Yay you on a brilliant cake. I also get asked to make a carved cake for 10 people quite a bit and the customers/clients/kids swimming lessons don't seem to appreciate that you have to sometimes bake big to carve down. Dead impressed. I'm in the process of doing a beer can and it's breaking my heart.
