In my last post I showed the cake that I entered for my work’s Halloween Baking contest. I entered a “Brain Cake” which is exactly what it sounds like – a cake shaped like a brain.
It’s surprisingly easy to make …
- Bake cakes (I coloured them pink)
- Stack cakes, then trim the edges. Take the off-cuts and put on the top to create a dome
- Cover in buttercream (I had some red left over from other cakes so I added this too)
- Colour some fondant using ivory food colouring and a tiny amount of pink
- Roll the fondant out into “ropes”
- Apply the ropes to cake to form “brain matter”
- Coat in strawberry jam
