There is no point to even pretend that parents of teenager
know what he or she would like never mind to know what sort of cake would they
like.
I find it easier to simply ask. When I did I was told
precisely what should I be making with a tint of attitude of course. But I get
it - there is nothing worse than be embarrassed in front of your teenage
friends…
There was also an educational part to it – I’ve learned about
current must have gave of the week. So I
found an image from games promo pictures on the web and printed it out.
Then it was just the case of baking 3 circle shaped sponges
which I left their natural color. Buttercream was prepared as directed in my other
posts but colored blood red for effect. Sponges were glued together with red
buttercream and raspberry jam. Once cake
is ready compare picture and cut out 3D shape to the cake. This game is called Gear of war – so that is
why the gear shape. The circle on top will be for a skull.
Cover the cake with buttercream and allow chilling in fridge
whilst getting your ready to roll icing colored. I did not want to use already
colored icing as it seemed too simple – but it is optional. Once you achieved
color similar enough roll it out and cover the cake.
Shape the top of cake and side of cake to match 3D shape. Using
sponge color the icing simulating blood using red food color. Use black food
color to cover inside the circle on the top. Unused icing turn into skull shape
– I did pointy teeth just for the fun of it. You can make it as realistic as
you wish. Cover skull with red food coloring to match the cake allow drying
then transferring it on the top of the cake.
Use red food color with double cream if used for really
effective thick “blood”.
