Awesome Do-it-Yourself Angry Birds Cake

When I was first asked to make an Angry Birds cake, I have to admit, I didn’t think I could pull it off.

I knew the hardest part would be making the birds and pigs, and if I could do that, the rest of the cake would be relatively easy. I researched pics online, and copied them as closely as I could using fondant. I made these over 5 days, so that they had time to dry out a bit before I needed to use them. While they are not an exact replica, the characters were actually a lot easier than I thought they would be to make.

To make the wooden structure and the sling shot, I used a cardboard base and then covered in fondant. I stuck skewers into the bottom of the “wooden” structure so it could then just be stuck into the cake. All the other decorations (nest with eggs, planks of wood & stones) were also made out of fondant. All decorations were made at least a day before needed so that they would harden.

The night before I covered the cake board in green fondant so that it had time to dry out a bit. The cake was a vanilla cake with vanilla frosting and covered in brown fondant.

Once the cake was done, it was just a matter of placing all the decorations on the cake and board. After that I did the name and age, and I was done!

The birthday boy was so happy with it, and his sister gave me the best compliment I could have asked for “it looks just like the game!” Given how worried I was that I wouldn’t be able to pull this off, I was very happy with the end result.
