Ashtray Birthday Cake
Happy Birthday Marios!!!
A chocolate fudge cake with a rich chocolate filling and orange buttercream on top, covered with homemade fondant.
I tried to create the marble effect on the ashtray. I used a different recipe for the buttercream this time. Instead of using icing sugar I used sugar syrup and this time I used egg-yolks as well. The buttercream texture and the taste were perfect, but it was difficult for me to apply it on the cake, since it was too soft.
Yes! The cigar was made of fondant, and the ash was edible silver and pearl dust. It looks real, doesn't it?
I'm all against smoking and there is nt ashtray in my house.

I am against smoking as well but I would'nt mind a piece of cake though. The ashes do look like real. Great job again.
ReplyDeleteThis is so cool....love how you made the ashes :)
ReplyDeleteThis looks really good...the ash looks real...hopefully it tasted a bit sweeter though! ;-) How did you marble your paste? :-)
ReplyDeleteHi Laura, for the marbled paste I used white and grey fondant. Actually I used a bit of a black color paste to make the grey paste, and then I mixed it together with the white.
