Camouflage Wedding Cake

 

I made this wedding cake  for my friends. The top layer is vanilla and chocolate swirled cake fill with Chocolate to Die for icing and covered in vanilla buttercream.. The second layer is vanilla cake filled and covered with vanilla buttercream. The bottom layers is Chocolate to Die for Cake and filled with Chocolate to Die for Frosting and covered in vanilla frosting.

The dark chocolate colors of the bottom layer kept seeping through the white buttercream. I scraped off the buttercream covering the bottom layer.  I cut white icing sheets to fit the 4 sides of the cake and adhere to the cake with a little white frosting. I covered the cake and icing sheets with white buttercream. camouflage wedding cake

I wrapped the camouflage ribbon around all sides of the cake and secured any lose edges with a dab of icing.

Using  a vanilla buttercream filled pastry bag with a single small round hole decorating tip, I piped swirls on the cake. Replacing the decorating tip with a closed star tip, scrolls were piped at the base of the cake. Pink icing was piped along the top ribbon edge using the closed star decorating tip.

At the wedding the cake was placed on top if a real slab of wood.  Plastic straws were cut and inserted near a corner of the 2nd layer to secure the placement of the bride and groom figurine.  The initial ornament was positioned on the top layer.

Enjoy!

I am utilizing a camouflage icing sheet to create a baby onesie for a cake. If no camouflage icing sheet is available in your local stores, see the *instructions in the last paragraph.

 

 

phone 5-27-15 1477I printed out the baby onesie pattern located at Sandhilldreams Kids Corner Coloring Pages. There are T-shirts and other coloring pages located at the website.

Secure the coloring page on top of the icing sheet with a piece of tape at the top and bottom to prevent slipping. Carefully cut out the pattern. Remove any tape that may be holding the coloring page to the icing sheets.

MAGIC!! You have your camouflage baby onesie!!

To place on your frosted cake, remove the plastic layer from the back of the icing sheet cut out and position onto your frosted cake. Simple and easy!

Now you can write funny or sentimental quotes onto the camouflage cut out. Use a small round tip cake decorating tube such as # 1 or #2 and thin frosting to pipe the letters onto the cut out icing sheets.

If you like, you can pipe icing borders around the cut out with a star shaped decorating tip.

 

 

 

*If you cannot locate this camouflage design, purchase brown, light green, dark green, yellow, or other color icing sheets. Cut out the baby onesie out of brown icing sheet. Cut assorted shapes out of the two or more different colors of icing sheets. To make your job easier, remove the plastic backing of the icing sheets before cutting into smaller assorted shapes. Position the shapes onto the brown onesie cut out to get an ideas of where you want to adhere the cut out shapes. Once you have made that decision, dampen the back of each assorted cut out piece and attach to the top of the brown onesie to create your own camouflage print. Position the onesie onto the top of your frosted cake.
