This 3D Pool Cake is my first 3D cake. My sister asked if I would make a cake for my niece and nephew’s birthday pool party. I made the accessories ahead of time out of fondant. I used a 10″ circle cake pan, two layers high for a total of 4 circles. After freezing the cakes I iced 2 of the circles and placed the other two on top making two, 2 layered circle cakes. Then I cut a small portion from both cakes so that I ended up with a flat edge on both, to ice together making on big cake.
About an inch from the edge, I cut around the entire cake, not too deep but just enough to make the inside of the pool lower than the edge. I used a thin layer of buttercream to ice the cake so that the fondant would stick well. For the water, I tinted piping gel and spread it inside to make it look realistic.
the white portion of the fondant looks flawless. I always have problems deciding how thin to roll out the fondant
Looks great!
