GROOM'S CAKE

 



 

Ok. So its been awhile since I posted anything. Don't freak out I've been crafting away. Ok, so here's the skinny. I was asked to make a grooms cake (jokes on them). I had very little instruction or guidance to go off of. So I just went with and magic happened.

 

 

 

So I flipped out my cake on a cookie rack with the top on the bottom. It cools a little flatter if you do this. I put it on the cake board with to top on the bottom. The corners were a little shorter so I just shored them up with some chocolate buttercream.

 

 

I frosted the whole cake with chocolate buttercream. Also is it iced or frosted, I feel like I should know the difference, but I don't. Memo to me, learn the difference. Any who, I frosted the whole thing. (see above) This was the smoothest I could get the cake. Not too impressive.

 

 

No worries, I can fix it! All you need is a roll of Viva paper towels. Viva will give you a nice smooth surface. Listen son, 1 roll of the these paper towels cost me 1.99 at the local Wal-Mart. You might think " I can use a cheaper paper towel"... Don't do it! any other paper towel will leave a pattern on your cake.

 

 

After you frost your cake wait a little bit until the buttercream stiffens up. Then just place a sheet on top the cake. Run the spatula over the top of the cake.

 

 

BAM!!! So smooth. ahhhhhh.

 

 

 

Now comes the interesting part. So the only instruction I received was " He likes Star Wars" and " You can write whatever". So I printed a picture of Yoda off the interwebs. All you need is waxed paper and a sharpie. Just trace your picture, its not rocket science. After tracing flip the waxed paper over the traced with icing. Meow aren't you glad you went to kindergarten, mastered than tracing!!!

 

 

 

Then place your picture on to your cake. Run a spatula over the top . 

 

 

Ok. So I'm not sure it this turned out well or not. Some people knew instantly what is was suppose to be. Someone told me it looked like Grumpy Cat... LOL. Any ways it took me like 30 minutes and multiple tips to do, so whatever, I'm over it.

 

 

Wow. That is a terrible picture, I apologize. However, I'm having a hard time uploading picture to the blog, so you'll just have to deal with it.  I just added what I though Yoda would say about marriage. Wise little creature. Some might say the Grumpy Cat of the future. I'm not even going to be mad if it this turns up on the cakefail website. I gave it my best. With little to no direction I think it turned out fair.

 

Elmer was embarrassed for me. He has fine tastes in treats.
