A somewhat bizarre theme for a cake perhaps, but fitting to the party venue; my young son wanted a “Laser Skirmish” party – the current fad in his social world. One of my son’s best friends is blessed with a mum who is also a New South Wales (Australia) Policewoman; my son has always had an interest in guns (from a technical standpoint) and was very taken with the gun carried by his friend’s mum.. Hence:
A white chocolate mud cake slab cut and sculpted into a ‘Glock’ Handgun, as used by the NSW Police. The butter icing has been coloured ’gunmetal grey’ using a mixture of red, blue and yellow food colourings (as I couldn’t find a stockist of the fabled ‘black paste’. Piped vanilla frosting is used for the gun details with chocolate sprinkles giving the impression of a textured handgrip. “Bullet holes” in the ‘embossed steel’ base board provide supports for the candles.

Great job!
Hubby is a law enforcement officer so we really appreciate this.
Could you please tell me where you got it made. is it possible they have a handgun cake shape. I’ve been looking all over the internet and this is what I’m looking for my boyfriends birthday.
Would this be way too difficult for me to try making since I have never made a “theme” cake before? I thought I was going to wait to get my boyfriend one of these cakes for our wedding (for his groomsman cake) but he’s turning 25 next month and I think this is PERFECT! So… how do I do it?
Can you please post recipe? My boyfriend is a gun lover, and I want to make this for his birthday, it is a really cool cake, thanks! Leana
I’m doing a gun cake for my 11 year old Nephew and this cake is inspirational. I’m doing a Commando 1000 used at Skirmish. Love your work!! Surprised it was an Aussie effort too.
May I please have the instructions and recipe for this cake. My hubby would absolutely love it.
Hi my boyfriend would love this cake for his 30th birthday. Can you please send me the recipe on how to make this cake thank you.
Howdy,
My brother and my sister-in-law are both police officers. Her birthday is coming up in the next week and a half and I would LOVE to be able to make this cake for her. If you could help me it would be greatly appreciated. Oh, how many does it feed? (All their police friends will be over for her secret party so I might need to make more than one.)
Thank you so much.
David
My boyfirend just got a state trooper position and we are having a surprise party for him and would love to have this recipe please!
Like all my cakes it is basically a mud cake (choc, white choc, caramel, whatever) (for non-Australians, it’s a dense, rich cake which will hold its shape). Buy or make a square slab mud cake. I use a large floor tile as a cake stand. I make an A4 design on the PC with a ‘metal’ (or whatever) background graphic and print 2 copies (with bullet holes if you feel so inclined). Attach paper to tile, cover with non-stick cooking paper (cut a line in the paper to make it easier to remove later). Freeze or seriously chill the cake slab, place in position on the ‘stand’. Draw, scan, Google, etc. a pic of a Gloc.. cut out and lay on slab.. cut through the cake with a thin, very sharp knife and trim the edges a bit rounded.. carve out the trigger bit.. If you’ve frozen the slab wait until it’s mostly defrosted before icing. Cover the whole with a thick frosting (I use Betty Crocker’s) tinted to the desired colour.. Use an icing ‘pencil’ to draw outlines.. I think I used choc vermicelli for the handle texture.. stick required number of black, silver or grey candles on the bullet holes and that’s about it.. Bit like making mud pies, but with attitude. :-D Glad you all enjoyed them.. I might post a few more; Thomas the Tank 3D, Pink Butterfly, Chocolate Pirate ship, xBox WW2 game theme (I kid you not!) Have fun. Lyn
