I made this Ben 10 Wildmutt cake for my nephew Hudson’s 4th Birthday. I made two Madeira slab cakes. I froze the cakes after baking as its easier to cut around the shape with a frozen cake as it doesn’t crumble and hence no crumbs in the icing.
I found a colouring picture of Wildmutt. I black and white photocopied him and enlarged him around 300%, the pattern doesn’t all fit on one sheet so you just have to paste a few pages together to get the full body.
I than traced the pattern onto baking paper, and any smaller sections like his mouth and teeth where also traced on separate sheets.
I pinned that pattern to the slab cake with skewers and proceeded to cut the main body shape. I sectioned off the small different colours (mouth/claws)with the baking paper pattern and iced the body orange (I forgot the orange food colouring so had to use red and yellow and mix together).
I piped the claws with grey icing and piping nozzle 18 so it stood out a little more and made the teeth white and mouth red. Once all the colours were done, I than outlined the whole cake in black icing so he was more defined.
I didn’t cut around the inside of his leg as I thought the cake might crumble to much so I piped a small amount of white icing between his legs to give it the effect.
The result: a happy baker/decorator and stoked Birthday boy!
Wildmutt turned out so great. My son loves Ben 10 and would have been blown away by your cake!
My son has his 4th birthday coming up on the 21st of April. He is a Ben 10 fanatic. I’m not much of a baker and have rung around for ‘Ben 10’ style cakes and its not what I want. YOUR CAKE is what I am looking for. I would pay you if you could make the cake again… please.
Well Done!! You’re an asset that’s for sure.
my son is turning 6 and i am going to endeavor to do this cake for him as its exactly what he wants. Thank you so very much for putting up how you did it. I hope mine comes out half as good!!
You truely have a knack for cake decorating! Its better than professional! I’m after a Ben 10 cake for my lil boys 5th birthday, do you take orders or make for other people?, I would pay what ever you think is fair.
