My one-year old granddaughter is already enjoying the outdoors with jaunts (very slow) on her Dad’s ATV. With pink camo pretty visible in her wardrobe, making a pink camo quad birthday cake seemed appropriate.
I used the 3D Cruiser shaped pan and then did a lot of sculpting to make it into a quad. The quad was carrot cake (and I had a side “hill” of carrot cake cupcakes to make sure there was enough) but I used a chocolate pound cake for the base to support the weight. I have arthritis in my hands so used a pretty thin consistency cream cheese icing for easier application. Not as sharp as I would like the drops to be but easy on the grip.
Here are some other things I used:
– chocolate angel food tires
– Peppermint lifesaver headlights and hubcaps
– pretzel handlebars and exhaust pipes
– peanut butter cup steering column
– hot tamale candy brake lights
– gum paste helmet and fenders
– brown sugar trail
I find using cartoons for designing cakes is a lot easier than using photos of real ones. I have photos of different angles and including the profiles and rear.
That is very cool. You are so talented. Just a pile of hidden talents.
That is a cool birthday cake, she’s a special little girl. I’m trying to figure out how to do this for a 5yr old in a month
That cake is absolutely amazing, well done! You must have so much patience! Love it.
