This Budweiser Cake was made for my dad and is Poker Playing Friends. I used a 1/2 sheet, cut it in half and stacked it so the cake measured 12″x 9″. It was frosted and filled with buttercream icing. I made the “wood” out of fondant and this was made days in advance. I then airbrushed it and also hand painted with dark brown food coloring to make it look like the “wood grain”.
I used sugar to make the bottles and ice and I used Icing sheets and edible ink to make the labels on the bottles. The bottle caps were made of fondant and were painted with silver luster dust. The peanuts were made of fondant too.
This was such a fun cake to make!
How did you get the fence part to stay up?
could you please foward me the recipe to make the bottles? thank you! tgumbman(at)msn.com
Hi how did you make these bottles? X
I used a bottle mold and sugar to make the bottles. Just heat up the sugar (ADD 1/8 TSP OF CREAM OF TARTAR) to the hard crack stage 320 degrees f. To get the fence to stay up, I just frosted the cake with buttercream first and pushed the hardened fondant pieces against it.
Thanks for asking
very nice cake.. looks real.. how did you make the labels?
This cake is awesome. Could you please forward the recipe for the bottles and ice – How far in advance did you make the bottles and ice? You really have a great talent :)
Lovely idea. I love the Budweiser cake. It looks really awesome. I would love to bake this cake on my Grandpa’s birthday as he is a big fan of Budweiser beer.
