Ben 10 cake

Gangstabird

So I am proud. I am not a professional cake decorator (think it shows in the lumps & bumps). So I am just showing off really..........



If anyone would like to know how I did this. It's very easy. I bought one of those Silverwood cake tins which go from 12" to 1" and used the 12". The sponge was a 7 egg 14oz flour, sugar & butter. Two of them. Buttercream icing in the middle. Then a smear of buttercream onto the actual cake before using ready to roll icing from our local cake shop. 1kg of black icing, 500g of grey, 250g of white but I used some colouring to make the green.

Its huge and will feed 50 easily. Cost £25.00. In the same shop it would have cost £60.00 so huge moneysaving.

I would say it's been 'professionally' made. It looks fantastic and sounds divine.
I don't know what Ben 10 is (obviously a child's character type) but I know whoever it's for is going to be made up.

Betterlife, I noticed that you may make a wrestling, I made this cake last year and it was really easy. I white iced the cake then rolled out another square as you can see. I made thin sausages of the black and red and layed them out and took a small rolling pin and flattened them to the icing. It was easy to then place the plaque onto the cake. HTH

I hope this pic turns out right coz i've never done it before, sorry if its a bit fuzzy, I think you get the idea!!

thanks for that, I started making them last year. I did a power rangers mask. As long as you keep it simple it really is very easy. You use icing sugar to dust the surface and keep it on your hands and it absorbs into the icing without spoiling the colour. I will find the power rangers one in a minute.



For the black bit I folded a bit of paper in half drew half the design and cut it out so it was even either side. Then put it on some rolled out yellow and cut about half an inch round it. then plonked on the black. I hired the oval tin for 2.00 from a cake shop.

Don't get me wrong, I couldn't do anything too intricate like figures but anything which involves sort of squares & rolls etc are quite simple.
