The Bengals Helmet cake is made for my son’s 9th birthday. He likes football and is into the Bengals. It was very easy to make.
I used 9in round cake pans. Made a double layer then cut out a piece to look like a helmet. I dyed white icing orange and spread that on first. Then I chilled it to let the icing setup. I used chocolate icing dyed black and piped that on using a round tip. I used corn starch to smooth out the bumps in the black icing. I dipped my finger in the corn starch then lightly tapped the bumps down.
At first it looks white but it will disappear shortly. The face guard is made of pipe cleaners that I had. The cake was smaller so I ended up also making a plain sheet cake so we had enough cake to go around. Really easy to make it took no time at all.
:) My husband would love this cake. In fact I think I will steal your idea for his birthday! :) Very nice cake!!
I just made one, it looks WAY cooler than this! I made it for my husband….he is from Ohio,
This is just what I have been looking for! My stepson is on varsity team in high school and I wanted to do something different for his birthday! This is perfect!!
