13 years old and the boys are really into the hot sports cars. My son wanted a homemade Ferrari emblem cake for his birthday, but I was short on time and not confident that my cake would resemble a car at all, so we came to a compromise.
The homemade Ferrari emblem cake was very simple until I got to the horse silhouette. I usually create designs by hand directly onto the cake, but this was a little too detailed for me to risk it.
I printed out the silhouette and placed a piece of waxed paper over the top, securing it with tape. I then proceeded to outline the horse with melted chocolate from my pastry bag. After about an hour at room temperature, the chocolate had set and I was able to peel it right off the waxed paper, though not without a break at the tail. That was a simple enough fix… just like a puzzle piece on an already sticky cake.
i wish you lived in Melbourne Australia so that you could make one just like it. You are so talented!
Hey, could I do something like this on my cake?
it is sooo cool
My son wants me to make him a complete Ferrari car cake this year but your emblem looks brilliant!
This is so cool! I’m making it for my brother and I was wondering what kind/color of icing you used to surround the horse. The cake looks great and I can’t wait to make it!
Wow! my husband is into exotic cars and would love this cake. I too was thinking how did she do the horse?? I will definitely have to try this out. If it comes out looking like your cake I’ll make another one for his car club….maybe I’ll even try to make a Porsche cake too! Thanks for your picture.
