Homemade Ben 10 - Wildmutt Cake
I made this Ben 10 Wildmutt cake for my nephew Hudson's 4th Birthday. I made two Madeira slab cakes. I froze the cakes after baking as its easier to cut around the shape with a frozen cake as it doesn't crumble and hence no crumbs in the icing.
I found a colouring picture of Wildmutt. I black and white photocopied him and enlarged him around 300%, the pattern doesn't all fit on one sheet so you just have to paste a few pages together to get the full body.
I than traced the pattern onto baking paper, and any smaller sections like his mouth and teeth where also traced on separate sheets.
I pinned that pattern to the slab cake with skewers and proceeded to cut the main body shape. I sectioned off the small different colours (mouth/claws)with the baking paper pattern and iced the body orange (I forgot the orange food colouring so had to use red and yellow and mix together).
I piped the claws with grey icing and piping nozzle 18 so it stood out a little more and made the teeth white and mouth red. Once all the colours were done, I than outlined the whole cake in black icing so he was more defined.
I didn't cut around the inside of his leg as I thought the cake might crumble to much so I piped a small amount of white icing between his legs to give it the effect.
The result: a happy baker/decorator and stoked Birthday boy!
