Jacob's Bionicle Cake

Bionicle Mask Birthday Cake / Jacob 9

This is the cake for my son Jacob's 9th birthday. It is a butter cake with cocoa butter cream frosting. The mask is made out of chocolate rice cereal treat covered in modeling chocolate and dusted with golden edible dusting powder. I decided to leave the smaller masks off of the cake.

Gum Paste Bionicle Masks

Working on masks for the Bionicle cake my son requested. The task was proving a little more difficult than I hoped it would be. The masks are about 1 1/2 inches long and about 1 inch wide. I'm debating if they should go on the cake.

Super Smooth Icing Technique

Today was my 9 year old's birthday. He wanted a triangle cake. We made a square pan of brownies that we cut and stacked. The icing was the high humidity icing recipe from Wilton.  I tried a new method on this cake that I learned from Cake Decorating with Donna. The icing comes out so smooth that it almost looks like fondant. Wonderful smooth canvas for decorating! Thanks Donna for this fantastic trick!!!
