Z's Gumball Machine Cake
This Gumball Machine cake is an original creation I made for my son Zayden's 5th Birthday. The day he was officially allowed to start chewing gum!
I made the base of the machine from a cake baked in a 9x13 pan - trimmed to shape. I baked the bubble top cake in a Pyrex bowl. Tip: It took quite a long time to cook through - make sure center is set or it would cave in. I paced a third piece - a small 1/2 circle at the top.
I iced with regular buttercream frosting and used fondant in bright primary colours to shape little *gumballs*. I also used the fondant rolled into thin lines to outline the shape the edges and the gumball slot. I was at a loss as to what to use for the money dial but finally found a bike lock key - perfect!
