German Chocolate Glazed Robot Cake with LED Eyes
by Holly
(Boston, MA.)
This cake was made using a recipe for a German Chocolate inside-out cake. The cake was made from scratch with cocoa. I made two 13x9 pans (evenly distributed the batter) and cut the shapes of the robot pieces out. There are two layers with a filling in the middle consisting of a caramelized evaporated milk with toasted coconut and pecans. Once the layers are constructed, a chocolate glaze is applied and then the pieces are chilled until the glaze hardens. Befor the glaze is applied, a chocolate coating like frosting is applied. So, there are a few layers with this cake! Once the glaze is hardened I painted the shell with pearl dust which I had made into a liquid by adding lemon juice (you can the pearl dust/powder in a store which sells baking accessories. The LED eyes are applied before the glaze is poured on the head. Two holes were made in the head after the layers were constructed and then glazed. A battery powers the LED lights.
