Scooby Doo Cake

This Scooby Doo cake is made from scratch. I used Google to search for ideas for the Scooby Doo theme. It is a 2 layer cake consisting of marbled vanilla, chocolate and strawberry butter cake.

Each cake base is layered in 3 and stuck together with chocolate ganache. I left the cakes to dry a bit overnight and then covered each ganached cake base in plastic icing. I used Bakels RTR plastic icing which I colored with Wilton gel colors in lime green and royal blue. The layers are put on top of each other and the bottom edges are covered with a colored icing ribbon.

I made the mystery van on top with plain chocolate butter cake. I carved out the shape of the bus by cutting off the corners. I then also ganached the cake and covered it in plastic icing. All the decorations were hand made by myself using colored plastic icing. I made the Scooby face with a teddy bear brown plastic icing which I cut out the shape from a cardboard cutout printed from an image off the net. The ghosts were store bought.

All decorations are entirely edible. It was a hit with kids and adults alike. The cake was extremely moist and tasty, but very hard work.
