Boob Cake


This is my 1st attempt at using fondant.
I think that I did an excellent job :D

so0oo0o0....
I've included the method I used to make my boob cake
1stly I hired a football cake mould from my local baking shop.
So basically, you're supposed to make the ball in 2 halves and then stick them together... all I did was keep them separate.






This is what it looked like after I took it out of pans.



I then made a yummy icing :P
I used margarine, icing sugar and cocoa



I covered the two cakes with thick layers of icing using a spatula.
Then I got my fondant ready.
Fondant is also called plastic icing and you can buy this at a baking shop or make your own using marshmellows. :)
Make sure that you are working on a clean surface, and also that it is dry and dusted with icing sugar.
Here you can see me breaking a small piece off, and I'm going to use this for the nipples.
I bought pink gel food colouring (which is kinda expensive, but you need to use gel to colour the fondant. You only need a little though, so i used a tooth pick to help me get just a little bit out of the bottle.



This is me making the nipples.
I eventually reduced the size.




I then coloured the rest of the fondant with ivory gel food colouring and then rolled it out with a rolling pin.









I missed out a couple photos...but I think that you can see what I did here.
I covered the cakes with the rolled out fondant, and added the nipples. I stuck down the nipples using left over icing and then I proceeded to decorate the cake using an piping bag.








This is the bra, I used red and black gel food colouring. However, the red turned out to be more orange. I tried to make the lace with a thinner nozzle.

I then wrote Happy B-day on the left breast.
The finished product is at the top of the post :)
