Steak Anyone? Steak Cake!

By

Oh man. Doing fake food cakes is probably one of my top favourite types of cakes to make. I just think it’s so hilarious for some reason. Remember last year when I made this fish cake with a sad face? This year Adele asked me to create a steak cake instead!

I made two large sheet cakes and then set about frosting and carving them into a shape of a cartoon steak. I covered it in fondant, and painted on grill marks. I made little carrots out of fondant… and then… my piece de resistance… my favourite part… the baked potato!!! Using the trimmings from the sheet cakes, I shaped the cake into a potato-like shape using frosting and cake all mixed up. I chilled this in the fridge, then crumb-coat frosted it, smoothed it out and covered it in “potato” coloured fondant… then I split it down the center, piped in some buttercream, made a fondant “butter” pad and some fake parsley bits!

Haha. I thought my steak turned out pretty cartoony and cute! As usual it was sad to give it up. But if I kept all the cakes I made my house would be an explosion of stale cakes and hard fondant!!!

    Definitely one of my favourites that you’ve shown here! It’s combination of the whole idea, how cute it turned out and also, I can’t believe how real the baked potato looks!
