Homemade Bolt Cake

I made three Brown Sugar pound cakes in cookie sheets. Then froze them for about 3 hours (after they had completely cooled at room temperature). Then I iced them together and got a Bolt picture from the internet and enlarged it and cut it out. I put the Bolt picture on top of the cakes and cut around it.

The cookie sheet was a little bit too small so I had to cut the ear out from one of the scraps and ice it on. I then put a scratch coat of icing on and froze the cake for 12 hrs. I placed it on a upside down cookie sheet that I had baked it in. But it was too big to fit on the inverted cookie pan so I used my daughter's Barbie doll bath tub to hold the ear up. That's the part of pink you can see beside the ear.

I then iced the Bolt cake according to the picture from the internet. I used my own butter cream icing recipe and it took 5 batches for me to have enough icing. It was surprisingly easy and fun. It did take a lot of time though but my daughter who was turning 3 loved it.

I just used a cookie sheet. I didn't have a pan I cut it out by hand.

Thanks for this idea. Just the inspiration I needed. I'm planning on using a lighter cake (like funfetti), but your idea of freezing should work nicely for this way as well.

where did you find the bolt picture?
