Ben 10 Birthday Cake

I made this cake for my son’s 6th birthday. Ben 10 and his omnitrix watch are the latest ‘in-thing’ for him and he was so happy to have the cake on this birthday.

Things you need to decorate the cake:

Fondant for Ben-10 picture and wordings

Cake decorating tips:

Ben-10 picture:

Get a picture or template of Ben-10 and the logo.

Roll fondant to a thickness of about 1/6th inch. Cut out the pictures from the fondant. Using a toothpick, trace out the rest of the picture and logo details on the cut out fondant.

Leave the fondant aside to set. It is best to leave it to set for at least one day.

Once the logo is set, paint it to resemble that of Ben-10 and his logo.

Assembling the cake:

Prepare your cake and place it on a cake board. Smoothen butter icing all over the cake. Carefully lift the Ben-10 picture and his logo and place them on the cake.

Next, using brown icing, pipe stars all around the base and top of the cake for border.

Finally, outline Ben-10 and his logo with black icing.
