Awesome Homemade Koala Cake

I made a large slab of white cake and a couple of different shaped chocolate cakes. By cutting and piecing them together I was able to get the overall koala cake shape.

I used store bought frosting (not great tasting, but easy to work with and time-saving!) which I tinted with brown food coloring. Working with a palette knife allowed me to tint and add texture as I went along. An illustration of a koala in a children’s book helped me with the cute expression…koalas don’t really smile like this!

  1. It is my 50th Birthday shortly and I have always collected koalas. Do you have a template for this cake or could you explain how you put it together.

    Much appreciated if you could help

  3. Everyone, thanks for your comments. Just to clarify, there is no actual recipe. I simply baked a couple of plain cakes (one white cake in large oblong pan and 2 in circle tins) and then pieced it together over a template which I drew on a big piece of paper. I didn’t make an actual template, but I am sure you could make one if you needed to- Just draw an oval about the size of your largest cake pan, then draw a smaller circle on top for the head. Adding the ears, hand and foot, and trimming away to make the rounded back, is pretty simple. Good luck!
