My son’s current obsession is Ben 10 so with that as the theme was inspired by the many cakes on this site to create the Ben 10 Omintrex Birthday Cake watch as his cake for his 4th Birthday.
I made a sheet cake and a round cake which placed on top (trimmed the sheet cake down to be a bit thinner to match the width of the round cake). After covering in cream cheese icing, I then covered in MMF (was my first attempt at making MMF & although not too hard probably would just used bought fondant next time as didn’t taste any better in my opinion.
The plan was then to spray the fondant in Wilton Black Edible Mist but this only made it look grey and as I had already stuck the fondant to the cream cheese icing (and it was 1 am so too late to make more!!) then had to paint on Wilton Black food colour to get the desired look (this ended up looking and tasting fine although noticed few party-goers had black fingers from eating!)
Then added green, grey and white fondant cut out shapes plus a licorice strap around side of round cake plus licorice stripes and cut out on clock face.
Lastly added couple of Ben 10 figurines at base and Ben 10 Omnitrix watch done – my son was happy and friends impressed. Thanks for tips on this site!
