My daughter wanted a killer whale cake for her 6th birthday. This cake made one big 'splash' at her party.
- RECIPE INGREDIENTS:
-
- Cakes: One 16 inch round confetti cake, two 10 inch round chocolate cakes, two 8 inch round vanilla cakes, one 6 inch round chocolate cake
- (these were standard cake mixes)
- Icing: Vanilla flavored icing, vanilla icing colored blue, fondant icing
- Rice crispy cereal and marsh mellow treats for the tail fin
- Last ingredient: a touch of love.
Step 1: bake all of the cakes, then freeze them.
After they are frozen, stack the cakes from largest to smallest. Step 2: Bake the rice crispy treats by melting butter and marsh mellows, then add a large box of crispy rice cereal to the mix. Cool slightly then mold into the tail fin shape. Place in the refrigerator to cool and harden. Step 3: Ice the stack of cakes using plain vanilla icing. Roll out black fondant and cover the stack of cakes (not the large bottom layer- that becomes the water). Roll out white fondant and cut an oval shape (like what is found on an Orca Whale) and place over a portion of the black fondant (tip- use the white shape to cover the seams of the black fondant). Cover the rice crispy tail fin with black fondant. Step 4: Insert two long wooden dowels into the stack of cakes, attach the tail fin and smooth the seams of the fondant using a smoothing tool and a touch of water. Step 5: Color vanilla icing blue and ice the bottom layer to create an effect of water. Add splashes onto the body of the whale to complete the cake.
