Homemade Horse Birthday Cake

Homemade Horse Birthday Cake

I made this Horse Birthday Cake for my daughter's 8th birthday. Being horse mad she loved it!
I made a square cake then cut the corners off to made the basic shape. I shaved the edges to get a rounded finish and used a spoon to create eye and nose.

I used Just Choc fondant icing for the ears. I cut the brown and white shapes to fit then added the eye and bridle. It is a little fiddly, but well worth the fuss to see her face!

 More information
by: Rebecca

This cake is beautiful. It would be helpful if you shared what materials you used and how you did it, step by step. Did you use fondant for everything? How about the eyes/bridle? How did you get the shiny silver part?

 Tin Size
by: LUCY COTTLE

Hi everyone. With regard to tin size its up to you really depending on the size you want. I used a 12" square tin.
Instructions.... I basically just went for it to be honest and just went of a photo.
The carving to get the correct shape is the mot important part..... perhaps I should write a book! ha ha xx

 Wow!
by: Kim

Wow! I was looking at Horse cakes, because in Food Technology we have to make a celebration cake and i want to make a horse one (obviously) and had drawn a horse head one, similar to this, but wanted to see the "real life" ones that had been made for me to look at.
Quite frankly, its amazing! If you did this for a living i reckon you'd get some good money, as its an amazing cake and you are very talented!
I hope your daughter had a wonderful birthday, i would if i was receiving such a wonderful cake!

Hi Lucy,

My great niece turn 8 and she loves horses. I make her birthday cake every year and this year she wants a horse cake. Well, this is a cool looking cake and I am not that artistic but I think I can do it. Can you give me better directions as to how you cut it and what all you used to decorate it. Did you use one 9 x 13 cake pan?
Thanks, her birthday is Oct. 24

 The best horse ever!
by: Dionne Australia

I love this cake and I think I have nutted out most of it. How on earth did you get the ring part of the bridle like that? The silver bit, I live in Australia. So I will just substitute where I can. This is fantastic. Make sure you post your next creation on here.
Any help you can give would be great. Otherwise just post a comment.

Thanks Dionne
