I made this scorpion cake for my son’s 5th birthday. He was set on having a scorpion cake and I wasn’t sure how to go about it.
I decided to use the “melted chocolate technique” to make the scorpion and the other decorations on the cake. Chocolate is melted, then piped onto a sheet of paper in the right shape.
For light colours, white chocolate is used with food colouring.
I really like the dropped chocolate idea for the scorpion. He looks really cool.
My son asked for a scorpion cake and this is perfect!
Thanks a million for this brilliant cake idea. I was agonizing over how to fulfil my son’s scorpion cake request and came across this. The melted chocolate is simple yet effective (and yummy!)
