Homemade Skateboard Cake
My son loves skateboarding so for his birthday I made this cake with one 9" round cut in half and one 9x13 with the sides shaved off to give it some shape. Cool the cake in the freezer it will ice better.
I covered it with white icing then drew in my flames with a tooth pick. I started with yellow and used round tip #3 for the more detailed spots and #5 for the larger areas. Using a spreading knife to smooth it out. Next, I used red with tip #3 to fill the rest. I used the spreader to drag the red into the yellow to blend the colors. The outline is done in black with round tip #2. For the border I used leaf tip #67 and went around with red then switched to yellow and filled in.
The wheels are chocolate donuts with Cocoa Krispies Cereal Straws. I took off about an inch of the straws before sticking them in the donuts then set them on top.
My son told me "I rock" so I was proud.
