Kai had his 5th birthday which kind of had a Ben 10/Angry Birds theme to it with my makes taking on the Angry Birds theme.
First off....
Also, an Angry birds cake. Kai likes Asda's sponge cake so I bought a photo cake from there & used that for my base. With it being rectangular & covered in white fondant icing it was perfect to decorate (they also freeze & then defrost REALLY well.
I printed out an angry birds picture, traced it onto greaseproof paper & used that as my template. I could then roll out the fondant icing (I bought ready coloured), put the template paper on top & draw over it with an embossing tool. I'd then remove the template & cut the image out of the fondant before sticking onto the cake with a small amount of water. It took the best part of a morning but I think it was well worth it.
Definitely well worth it - that cake is HUHMAZING! Makes me feel kinda daft for being so proud of the malteaser cake I made for Devvie's now. I had bought the wrong flour so couldn't make the proper malteaser cake base, Craig had the idea to google a easy chocolate sponge (using the flour I had) and I made that and put the malteaser icing and chocs on. The girls said they preferred it over 'proper' malteaser cake :D Happy accident!
