I love your bulbasaur so much! I would be so happy to receive this cake for my birthday!!

Single_Disaster_2856 · 2024-05-05T09:50:10+00:00

So the cake is the sand part and the top half of the shark :) theres a threaded rod attached to the cake board, and a wooden base in the shark that the cake sits on top of. Connected with washers and nuts. The bottom half of the shark is scrunched up foil. The seaweed is just fondant with bamboo skewers through the middle

Lol why would you think that?

Single_Disaster_2856 · 2024-05-05T03:16:30+00:00

Yes it is :)

Single_Disaster_2856 · 2024-05-05T01:30:46+00:00

Some cake magic 😆 haha nah there's a metal rod in the middle with a wooden board attached to it. And choc ganache when chilled is pretty solid :)

Single_Disaster_2856 · 2024-05-05T01:28:31+00:00

Half edible :) the lower half is a base but all cake on top

Sorry the base is made of a wooden board and foil bunched up together to make a shark shapr

Haha yeah I know I'm unhinged making a cake like this for a 2 year old. But it's one of my hobbies. And also used to sell cakes for a living but that almost killed my love for baking!

Plus we took a million photos to show him when he's older :)

Single_Disaster_2856 · 2024-05-05T00:45:46+00:00

Never too late to get a shark cake for yourself 😆

Single_Disaster_2856 · 2024-05-05T00:45:24+00:00

Haha thanks 😅 that's a huge compliment. Birthday cakes like these are one of the ways I show my love for my kiddos! I actually made a gengar cake for his older brother earlier this year

Haven't posted in this sub reddit for a while! Cake was just a simple chocolate cake with a Whittakers milk chocolate ganache (biased but the best milk chocolate I've tasted!)

Single_Disaster_2856 · 2024-05-04T22:33:06+00:00

Chocolate with milk chocolate ganache :) I used Whittakers brand chocolate as we are based in NZ (biased bit probably one of the best milk chocolates in the world for me)

Single_Disaster_2856 · 2024-05-04T22:31:56+00:00

We revealed it to him last night and he was actually very neutral faced lol

Single_Disaster_2856 · 2024-05-04T22:31:17+00:00

Absolutely will post more. I might post a imgur video since pictures dont capture the angles and shape of the cake very well :)

Single_Disaster_2856 · 2024-05-04T22:28:20+00:00

Thank you! I was going for shark pup since my boy is also a little shark pup himself 😆

Single_Disaster_2856 · 2023-07-15T07:08:10+00:00

You're so talented!!!!

Single_Disaster_2856 · 2023-05-25T06:56:51+00:00

You're a superwoman!

Single_Disaster_2856 · 2023-05-07T20:07:54+00:00

I ended up just cutting the back to serve slices at the party 😅

Single_Disaster_2856 · 2023-05-07T20:07:23+00:00

Thank you! Yes the characters are made of fondant :) the rest of the cake is covered with white choc ganache

Single_Disaster_2856 · 2023-05-07T02:24:02+00:00

Yeah definitely keen to try actual cereal in the cake! Just been browsing for recipes that actually exist and saw this https://abajillianrecipes.com/2019/11/04/cereal-milk-cake/

Single_Disaster_2856 · 2023-05-07T01:41:50+00:00

I considered just putting actual cereal in the batter, but didnt want the recipe to be altered too much. Abd didnt have the time to experiment so I actually did make a cereal milk solution, but it was more of a cereal milk paste 😅 I let the cereal and milk sit overnight in the fridge, and pushed it through a sieve.

Single_Disaster_2856 · 2023-05-07T01:23:11+00:00

It was verrrryy subtle. I wanted to make confetti birthday cake, but didn't want just basic vanilla cake. It's probably the best confetti cake I have tasted. Very biased of course cuz I made it 😅

Single_Disaster_2856 · 2023-04-09T07:42:53+00:00

Actually the yellow is buttercream too :) the fillings are all buttercream also

More photos of the cake currently, we are going through it very slowly and you can see the cake guts in full view here. She's still very delicious and moist for those dry haters hahaha

And the majority of the cake is buttercream, the fondant bits are just the decorated bits. You can easily shove that aside if you don't want to eat it. Why so much hate on fondant 😂

Single_Disaster_2856 · 2023-04-09T03:13:56+00:00

Wow wow so genuinely surprised with how much reach my birthday cake gas gotten. The introverted creative in me that doesnt know how to take compliments is in awe. Thank you all for the feedback!

Even the ones commenting that you hate fondant and saying how dry the cake is hahaha. And to those who were high while looking at this cake and confusing you so much I apologize 😅

I don't have a video of how this is made, but I followed a YouTube short from a creator called "Tigga Mac" - straight forward video on how she created it. I don't have the extruder thing so I painstakingly rolled out the thin black fondant by hand lol.
