Homemade Bulldog Birthday Cake
This bulldog birthday cake is a cake for a huge Ga. Football Fan. The cake is a chocolate fudge cake with buttercream frosting. Fondant is used for a clean and easy way to sculpt the face, with powder food coloring for shadows in the wrinkles. The other items shown are made of cake, sugar paste and chocolate as well.
The coke cup is made of gum paste filled with the same chocolate cake and icing, the nacho's have cake below topped with melted colored chocolate and chips made of gum paste and painted with gel food colorng mixed with a little vodka, (to help in drying time). The hotdog is sculpted of rice cereal treats then covered in fondant with royal icing for mustard and ketsup.
This is my first attempt at making a sculpted cake, it's only as hard as you make it. The best way to start is with a cardboard cut out of the outlined picture which I printed from the computer, then start building up any areas with cake you have cut away put a nice crumb coat on before adding the fondant and let the artist in you do the rest.
