Birthday Chocolate Cake - Chocolate Cake with Fondant Tools
"Very creative birthday chocolate cake idea!"
Things you need to decorate the cake:
Chocolate butter icing
Fondant for the tools
Toothpicks
Cake decorating tips:
Fondant tools:
Make the fondant tools a few days ahead. I used white fondant and shaped it into tools as shown:
Poke a toothpick on the back of each tool. Leave them to harden for at least 1 day.
Once the tools are set, paint them using your choice of colors. I used Wilton colors for all the tools.
Assembling the cake:
Prepare your cake and place it on a cake board.
Cover the cake with chocolate butter icing.
Here, I used the rope border technique for the cake border. You can, off course, choose a different border if you like. Click here for other cake border ideas.
Finally, arrange the tools on the cake as you like. The toothpicks attached to the tools will help to hold them in place on the sides of the cake.
