Homemade 70's Disco Cake

Homemade 70's Disco Cake

Cakes are my hobby and I usually make them as birthday presents for friends and family. This 70's Disco cake was made for two friends' 30th birthday celebrations, the theme of which was the 70's.

It was a normal sponge with strawberry jam and buttercream filling. I used sugar paste to make the glitter balls, as it is lighter and sets harder. The rest of the icing was your everyday rollout icing, dyed with food-coloring paste. I added lots of edible glitter and covered the board it sits on with a disco-type covering; this idea I got from the scene setters who decorated the room.

How did you cut those out? They are awesome. I've searched the internet, even for a template, can't find anything usable.

 Flooding for pictures
by: Bart

If you find the picture you like just print it to the size you like then place a piece of baking paper over it. Make up a royal icing mix(of 1 Egg White PURE icing sugar(Approx 8oz) and a few drops of lemon juice) make it a bit thicker than cream. You do not want it to spreed to much. Then place it in a pipping bag and just go around the outside of the picture then fill in the centre (THIS IS CALLED FLOODING). You can slide a ruler under the baking paper and move it back and forth just to smooth it out and get out the aie bubbles.
I hope this will help people out
I am a pastry chef by trade and have used this method for lots of pictures.

The cake follows the theme from the Party City Disco Party supplies. You can use the printed plates or napkins as a guide.
