Coolest Twilight Book Cake 5

Homemade Twilight Book Cake

My niece is obsessed with the Twilight books and asked that I make a cake for her 12th birthday with that theme! I used two 9x13 cakes, gluten-free for my other niece who has Celiac's.

I Stacked them and used a thin buttercream frosting and fresh strawberries in-between. Then I coated three of the sides with white frosting. I tinted more of the frosting black and coated the last side and top. I let it dry slightly so I could smooth it with parchment paper.

Then I piped a thick line around the edges to look like the book cover. I made it a little uneven to create a "worn" effect. I used a comb to trace over the white sides to make "pages". Than I traced the font from the book with a toothpick on the top of the cake to make the title and I substituted my niece's name in place of the author to make it a little more special for her :).

Lastly, I made my own apple out of frosting on top. There you have it!

They probably put Williams because that's their name and they thought it would be clever. We all know that Stephenie Meyer wrote the Twilight saga.

well duh we all know Stephanie Meyers wrote the books, didn't you read above where she said she substituted her daughter's name to make it more special for her?!

Hello! You did a great job. Can you tell me what frostings you used and what you used to change it black & red?

Great job!! I like your cake very much.

Oh to answer the icing question- Wilton sells icing coloring gels for black and red. I have used white icing to achieve black icing but they actually recommend you use chocolate frosting to go to black for large amounts. You can buy these coloring gels in any party store baking section or Michael's crafts.

loved it!

Thank you so much, you've just helped me with my 16th Birthday cake idea.
I know it's not until next May but I like to plan ahead and I thought I'd look at Cakes now to see how much they would cost or if there were some really great home-made ideas and I'm going to use your Idea.

Thankyou
Love Hannah xx
