Camper Van Birthday Cake

The Story behind this Cake
My inspiration for the camper van cake was from the clients daughter. She wanted a surprise Birthday cake for her mom. Her mom is a huge camper van fan. I found inspiration by looking at pictures of Camper vans on the Internet and adapted a technique I have learnt while stacking cakes for other cakes. I have used my trusty Vanilla Maderia cake which has come from a fabulous Baking Book I received last year called "Good House Keeping great baking". I made the surfboard with Flower paste as it dries hard and give that perfect finish. I hand painted the flowers with Blossom Dust and added a little edible glitter. I wanted the Camper van to look like It was raised on wheels, as a real camper van would be so I watched several You Tube videos and chatted to baking friends on Facebook on how to achieve this. Its a clever technique of wrapping a strip of black around the bottom of the cake and then pressing the wheels on to it. Simple but very effective. I wanted the board that the camper van sat on to be a bit jazzy so I cut red circles and placed them on the white fondant and then gently rolled over them with a non stick Rolling pin When my clients collected the cake she was so pleased and sent a photo to a friend before she even left our kitchen. I have several pics that she sent that I will send from my phone. Share a cake by Rainbow Bakes |
