Coolest Glock Handgun Cake

Homemade Glock® NSW Police Handgun Cake

A somewhat bizarre theme for a cake perhaps, but fitting to the party venue; my young son wanted a “Laser Skirmish” party – the current fad in his social world. One of my son’s best friends is blessed with a mum who is also a New South Wales (Australia) Policewoman; my son has always had an interest in guns (from a technical standpoint) and was very taken with the gun carried by his friend’s mum.. Hence:

A white chocolate mud cake slab cut and sculpted into a ‘Glock’ Handgun, as used by the NSW Police. The butter icing has been coloured ’gunmetal grey’ using a mixture of red, blue and yellow food colourings (as I couldn’t find a stockist of the fabled ‘black paste’. Piped vanilla frosting is used for the gun details with chocolate sprinkles giving the impression of a textured handgrip. “Bullet holes” in the ‘embossed steel’ base board provide supports for the candles.
